There is a copious amount of reasons as to why the Brazilian pepper tree is a negative entity in Florida.

I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary. We didn’t even plan to go parachuting, it just happened so suddenly. I hadn’t wanted to go, but I am glad that I did it…

I had already ridden an airplane for the first time, been diving for the first time, and stayed at my grandpa's house for the first time. As usual, my grandpa was full of surprises.
