Well, I’ve never really kept a journal before, but I figured that now would be a good time to start. The day is March 8, 2416, three days before the Lightning takes off. I am aboard that ship, and I am glad to be a part of it. I was spending a lot of time with my family, since I will be gone for about 5 years. I am going to miss them so much. The laughter of the children, and the stories of the elderly. The plan is that we follow the Independence to the moon Titan, one of the larger of Saturn’s moons. We will land there about a month after them. None of the crew members really know that we will be there yet. I have everything that I will need to keep me from being homesick - photos of my family and friends, a laptop so I can video call

I watched the children pop in and out of the waves like moles. I figured that I would join them, just because you never know whether or not you will get these chances again. I felt like a child again, swimming in the ocean and searching for sand crabs with the children. I hadn’t done this in years, and I can assume that the others were a little weirded out by a grown man playing in the ocean. I went in for lunch with the others, and I could smell my favorite meal, burgers, roasting on the grill. I was so glad that I could have these with my family before I leave. Some of my grandparents may not be around to see my return. I spent the most time with them. Later in the day, as the sun set over the ocean, we packed up our things and headed home, where I fell asleep in my bed almost immediately. Recently, I awoke to the sound of rain pattering on the roof. It’s about 2 in the morning, and I just couldn’t sleep thinking about the excitement that lay ahead. I went out for an early morning walk. I love the rain. It brings peace to the night.
I got back about five minutes ago, at about 2:20. I toweled off, and I’m just finishing up my writing.

I will be in suspended animation,, unless I make a request to wake up when we arrive at a certain planet. I was hoping to see the asteroid belt so that I can send a virtual postcard to Earth. I have said my goodbyes to my all of my family, except for my parents, who are taking me to the rocket. They wanted to see the takeoff, which would be the last time they could see me on Earth. I promise to write when we get there, and possibly at the asteroid belt. Well, I have to go to a meeting. Goodbye for about a year!

I had no idea what day it was, until I asked NASA. They said that takeoff was 351 days ago, and that we are just arriving at the asteroid belt. I was so excited! I immediately ran past my co-workers in their pods to the nearest window, and there it was, the asteroid belt. I was so excited to be there. I took hundreds of pictures. I guess I lost count, but who cares? I told home. After that, I did a quick check of the ship. Seems good so far, so I just did a little workout. I plan on getting back to the pod soon, so I’ll wrap it up at that.

We are almost at Titan, and I can’t wait to meet the other people there! We are almost within Saturn’s gravitational pull. We need to get ready for landing, so I should finish up with this for now. I found that the date is April 8th,
We were traveling but then we stopped when we got to Independence Rock. It was a resting place which was really big! It looks like a whale which is cool, also we wanted to come here by July 4 and we did make it. We decided to stay for 1 night because we also needed to rest our animals and we needed to rest. Since it was July 4 we sang, ate, and laughed and talked to each other. We also carved our name on the rock with grease made from Pine Tar and Hog Fat. Their were already lots of name carved which was very cool, I wonder ped to myself how long people have been traveling. We talked more until we were all tired so we decided it was best to rest for we can wake up tomorrow much more better.
It was the 14th of Frost Fall, The sun was shining as the men waited for the vessel Vlad and I built, it was a mighty ship, three masts, 150 feet long and able to hold a crew of 50 plus a cargo hold big enough for the crew and the whales.
I am currently writing the first entry of this journal from a NASA clean room as I wait for takeoff 12 hours from now. I am slightly nervous for my journey, but I know that I’m well prepared as is the rest of the crew heading to Mars. We were all picked due to our high and varying
That was the day I had revealed my invention. So fascinated, they took it away for a long period of time. A really long period of time. March 12, 2027. Scientists finally returned it and made a second one. They revealed it to the public and the military. I was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize by the President. They also found out about the whole Mars thing and decided to fix the rocket they were building. Remember, I did the Mars thing in 2032. So had not landed yet. It was currently 2027. So that was it I did my goal. Scientists then worked, tested, traveled, and did other things with my invention for the next 100 years they would do that. My mommy was
It was May 25, 2013 when I, accompanied by my friends, went on a journey that would change my
When we got there we went to go set up the campsite then we went to go relax on the beach. This is the people that went my mom, my dad, my grandparents, my brother, my dogs, and my friends and my brother’s friends Jasmine, Silence, Addison, and Noah. We played in the ocean for three hours then in the sand. Then it is almost ten O’clock so we had to go to bed. Before we made s’mores then went to bed.
Tired of everything, I got into my car and drove home. It was late and I was going to bed at once. Since I had late-shift again tomorrow, I could sleep till noon.
Wow!!! I say as the dolphin pushes me out of the glissing water.It felt magical! It is Tuesday, December 29, 2015 in Ixtapa, Mexico.
Friday of February 22, 2013, my dad and I traveled on a warm, beautiful day, forty five miles from our home, to visit and check up on my grandma who had recently been
I went to pack my things and only carried a bag that contained a torn shirt and a blanket to keep me warm. We would be traveling third class so the voyage wouldn't be so great but I'm up for anything to reunite with my family I've missed dearly. My mother called as she picked up my younger brother and head into mine and
A red, large kayak was still on the shore, waiting for us to push it into the water. Since we were the only group who hadn’t left the beach, a sense of pressure was rising in me to join them before they started without us. I glanced at my mom who was talking to the instructor. Nevertheless, even though kayaking was supposed to be a joyful experience, I somehow frightened of facing what the previous couple experienced. What if I would get stuck under the current of the waves? Would I manage to swim to the surface and be able to get back in the kayak? My mind began racing with all the possible outcomes and situations that would I would most likely encounter. The guide was still waiting for us to wade into the water. I knew it was too late to decide not to go now. I would regret not trying at all instead of trying and then failing. With this in mind, I gave an I-can-do-this gesture to my mom, and she grinned with such
I take a deep breath, my nostrils are filled with the pleasant aroma of the salty sea air. This is my happy place, this is where I belong. As I sit with my freshly painted pink toes in the sand, I am overwhelmed with all that is happening around me. To my right, there is a family of four; a mother, father, and two little red headed girls that look like twins, laughing and jumping around, taking in the big world around them. The children are in their bright red and purple flowered bathing suits, running and screaming, attempting to get their toes wet in the chilly water that churns back and forth on the shore. After a few attempts they decide to run and jump full force into the crystal clear abyss, unaware of what creatures they could find if they dive deep enough.
When darkness came, we lit candles. A perfect tranquil night, and I cherished each minute.
It was already 9:30 so I went to sleep. The next day I geared up for the mission. I had an M40A5 with a silencer and a pistol, along with a grenade.
May 10, 2010, at approximately 4:00 P.M. my world ended, and I faced this new world some uncertainty and some confidence.
