Trip

My mom was working as a flight attendant even before I was born and the very first time I flew on a plane was when I was still her womb! When my two other siblings were born, my mom…

canoe did not turn around or flip over. I also learned that I need to keep pushing through in life to have a good outcome. If I were to have given up half way through the trip, I would not have gotten home. There are times in life when we must keep pushing through to get things done, even though we may not want to. Overall, this trip taught me about myself and that I must work hard, but have fun at the same time. I must always possess a good attitude to get things done in the best honest way.…

The trip started with a bus ride. Forty students, who were each selected at random from the Mesa Community Dobson and Red Mountain Campuses rode together to the central location in Payson for the Leadership Retreat. Of which I was one of the selected. The result from this 8:00 am start time on a Friday in September was all due to the advisor for the trip, Kim Kochak. Months before the trip ensued Kim was brainstorming extensively with twenty other advisors from both campuses. The planning for…

Relationships are a part of life, some are good relationships, and some are toxic relationships. Elane had experienced two different toxic relationships. One with a friend, and one with a boyfriend. Both relationships had mentally drained her. "I can 't believe how stupid I was. I wasted two years of my life, " she said out loud to herself. She thought about how she tried and tried to make her friend, Haleigh, and her boyfriend, Joe, happy. She never got the same in return. Whenever asked,…

us turn in our phones on the bus ride up and did not give them back until about an hour into our trip home. This renunciation of my phone placed me in a form of isolation that was reminiscent to the common theme of solitude that author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry experienced and discussed in his memoir, Wind, Sand and Stars. I had never gone without my phone for an extended period of time before this trip so I found my experience…

symphonic band and 8th grade goes on a trip to Chicago to have quite a bunch of entertainment. As we all boarded the bus, I kept thinking about what it was going to be over there compared to Alpena and I couldn’t wait to start our trip there.

I was put into a room with my two friends that went on the trip with me and we enjoyed…
