Summer 2017

        Summer is by far my favorite season. I love everything about. This past summer the first thing I did was go to the beach. I went to Destin with a couple of friends. Destin is by far my favorite place to go because my family has always gone there. One of my favorite things to do is drive into Seaside or Rosemary and eat and shop there. The rest of June I hung out with friends in Baton Rouge, went to cheer camp in Monroe for school, and went to the beach once more.
         July was definitely the most exciting. The first few days I spent packing for a family trip and camp. I was going to a camp in Washington and Oregon, so before my family dropped me off we went to Seattle for a couple of days. It was super fun, we did city stuff and went to see one of the mountains near Seattle. On July 8th, they dropped me off at the Seattle airport where my group for camp was meeting and we said our good-byes. The camp is not really a traditional camp, but an outdoors/adventure one. Over the course of the 3 weeks, we rafted, rock-climbed, repelled, backpacked for a week, and kayaked. It was super awesome because I had never done half the stuff I did and I made tons of new friends. Overall, the past summer was filled with excitement and adventure.

Kayaking

        This summer when I was at camp in Washington I went kayaking in the San Juan Islands. On the last day, there was a huge channel we had to cross. It was 6 miles long. On the channel, there were ferries, boats, and sailboats all crossing. Also, it was the most popular time of year for boats. To top it off, it was about to rain so the currents were even stronger. Aside from the currents and traffic, the water was crystal blue and the wind was blowing off the chilly water so the weather was perfect.        My group and I started on shore on the other side of our destination. We took a long break and then decided to cross the channel. The kayaking guides instructed us where to point our kayaks to break the currents. Once we started the adrenaline kicked in and we started to paddle through. At points, it felt as if we were getting pulled backwards but we kept having to paddle strongly. The best feeling was when we made it back to the harbor and...

Reading Response: Harrison Bergeron

         Harrison Bergeron was a very interesting short story. After reading it, I really had to process what was going on because of all the different action happening. The story is set in 2081, where everyone is equal. There is not one person who is better than another. Everyone becomes "normal" which normal in Harrison Bergeron is being mentally slow and ignorant. If you are pretty, you have to walk around with a mask on, shave your eyebrows, and have a clown nose. If you are physically advanced, you have to walk around with a vest made of heavy lead.           Harrison Bergeron falls under the genre of dystopia. It is set in the future and is based around a crazy government who wants all of their citizens to be the exact same. The idea of dystopia brought up many questions about the story for me. A level one question is what is the relationship between Harrison and the other characters? Some level two questions are what is the point...

Fall Break Free Post

       Fall break is definitely one of my favorite breaks. It is a great break from school to relax and have fun. This past break, my mom and one of my friends mom surprised us with a trip to New York for our birthdays. We were both super excited and could not wait until we got there.        We had to get up at 3:30 Thursday morning to get to New Orleans to catch our flight. After the short plane ride, we did not waste any time, we jumped right in to doing things. We shopped the first day and went out to dinner for an early birthday dinner at the Sugar Factory. The next few days, we spent in Central Park, Little Italy, Brooklyn, and SoHo. Also, we went to see Hamilton. It was awesome! Overall, I had a very fun fall break and got a good break from studying and homework.
