Middle school came around and was probably the first time I was really nervous to go to school, but by the end I realized how fun it was and all the trouble I got into. Before school every started for me I enjoyed playing outside climbing trees. Every time fall came around I looked forward to jumping in piles of leaves, carving pumpkins and halloween.

In 6th grade my family and my friends family went to the Damariscotta Lake State Park almost every day and had barbecue chicken on the regular, along with hamburgers and hotdogs. We also went to the majority of state parks in Maine because we got a state park pass book and there is a challenge in it to get a stamp

For the most part I enjoyed the plane the most because as a kid I would always imagine was if it were a rise.

When I was about 10 years old my family and I took a vacation to Florida to see my great aunt Linda. It was a 14 hour drive down to Florida which is a long time in the car. We were going down there for a week. For the first two days we went to Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I was very excited to see my great aunt because I have never met her before. I knew that I was going to have fun on this trip.

My adventures did not start on the cruise. The first new experience I faced was riding in an airplane. This was terrifying to me; so much so, I almost did not want to go on the cruise. But I decided to step out of my comfort zone and gave the plane a chance. While on the plane I received my wings because I was a first time flyer. Also the entire ride was filled with laughter and joke between my family. Had I not been adventurous I would not have been able to enjoy the plane ride. I would not have never received my wings. And my step sisters and I would not have had any new inside jokes. If I was not brave enough to face the plane, I would never know that I love flying.

Skipping the last week of school to fly in a plane for the first time across the ocean to another country was a thrill. Frankfurt, Germany was my first plane stop. From there I would board another plane that would take me to Budapest, Hungary, then finally to my last destination, Romania. This was the first time my siblings and I flew on an airplane and it was fascinating because every seat had a mini T.V. behind them and the food was delivered right to our seats. This was a different but exciting experience because we could watch movies whenever we wanted, we got to order whatever food we desired, we didn’t have to sit next to our parents, and sitting next to old people came with a major perk. My siblings and I always got seats next to older people and it was fine with us because every time the flight attendants passed out candy the old people would give us theirs. As kids candy was our most prized possession so we were eager to receive candy from anyone who would offer us some. On plane rides you get seated randomly and my siblings and I ended up never getting seats next to our parents.

Growing up, vacations in the summer were always a big part of my life. Every year we had at least one big vacation and several smaller ones along the way. As a family we did everything from pulling a camper all the way to a national camping rally in Blyth, Ontario in Canada to climbing to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado.

Now do you see now how boring her life is.

Flying in a plane for the first time sounds exciting and it was. Frankfurt, Germany was my first plane stop, from there I would board another plane that would take me to Budapest, Hungary, and finally to my last plane stop in Romania. This was the first time my siblings and I flew on an airplane and it was fascinating because every seat had a mini T.V. behind them and the food was delivered right to our seats. This was a different but exciting experience because we could watch movies whenever we wanted, we got to order whatever food we desired, and sitting next to old people came with a major perk.

My experience began in Chicago, which happened to be my first time ever being there. I’m originally from southern Illinois, near St. Louis, and somehow I’ve never managed to make it up to Chicago, even though the majority of my friends from school are from there.

My trip had already brought unfamiliar territory and I hadn’t even left the state yet.After a total of fourteen hours of flying and a layover in Frankfurt, Germany, we finally landed to our destination of Florence, Italy. The flight seemed like forever, especially since I got assigned a middle seat on the plane, which was rather inconvenient.
