The Trip As I grew up as a kid I never had any dangerous or really scary encounters. I thought I was invincible and nothing bad would ever happen to me. When I was ten years old my family and I went on a magnificent camping trip, or so I thought it was going to be. The place we were going to camp at was by the Cannonball River. It was the last one of summer before school started again. We had planned to fish, roast marsh mellows, and have a fire every night. It started out on a Friday. We were planning to leave once I was done with school that day. Jumping ahead, so once school was over my parents picked me up outside of the school building and we began our drive to the campground. As we were driving we had stopped in a town to fill up for gas for our truck, I asked my mom, “Can I ride in the camper the rest of the way there?” She replied with a smile, “Yes you can, but you have to sit down and you can’t run around while were driving.” I said back, “Thank you so much mom, I have always wanted to try this, but I have never had the chance.” So I got into the camper and we hit the road again. As we continued our drive to the campground I had decided to sit on the soft, plush queen size bed in the camper where my parents slept. While sitting there oh so comfortably I played with my toys for what seemed like days. I had decided that sitting on the bed beat sitting in the truck any day any time. After a while I ended up falling asleep on the bed. When I awoke, which was two hours later I found out, we had arrived at the campground and were looking for our designated spot for our camper. After we found our spot and had begun the long treacherous process of unloading everything from the back of the pickup and unhitching the camper from the truck too. After that was all done my mom had went inside the camper and had begun unloading and organizing everything inside the camper for the remainder of the long

    In the summer before 9th grade, things were not going great for my family and me, things in school had been very bad, and things at home and out of school were even worse. At the end of July my mother and I, were looking to go on a trip, to get our minds off of everything that had happened in the past year. We threw ideas around, like going to Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, and other nearby states to go sightseeing in. We had almost decided on going to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to go to the amusement park, and see other attractions for a few days, but while looking I saw an advertisement for Universal in Florida. I started looking at plane tickets, hotels, and rental cars. We found an awesome deal, and we booked it. I went to go talk to my friend Chris, on Facebook to tell him I was going, as a joke he said, “Take me too!” I told my mom what he said, she laughed and said “Why not?” I told him to convince his parents because we were leaving in 2 days. It took him a full day, but Wednesday night Chris and his mom showed up to my house with his bags packed ready to go to Florida.…

    It all started with this very simple question, “Do you want to move to Florida?” When my mom had asked that, we had just came back from our spring break vacation in Florida. We lived in Kentucky and my siblings and I went to St. Albert, I was in fifth grade. Of course when my mom said that my whole family thought it was a joke, so we all had said sure to the idea. About a week later, I forgot about the question, so after school one day my parents had told me and my siblings they had a surprise for us. Little did I know that we were actually moving to Florida.…

    We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there. I then saw my mother did something with her hand, I know what that meant to hurry up, I told my little cousins to hurry up and get in the car, we ran as fast as we could towards the car and got in. Since then my little cousins and I learned a very big and important lesson that we will never forget, it to your pacings with your family, close and to tell them that you need a break if you are losing your…
