My winter break europe trip part12

 

December 30th 2022 Friday Paris

 

This morning we woke up just in time to get to breakfast. After we got ready we walked down to breakfast.

breakfast was an all you can eat buffet. During breakfast we decided that because it was raining we would

not go to Pompidou. Instead we decided to stay home till 3:00 when it was supposed to stop raining. but 

instead it's not raining early so we went out earlier. We took the train and got off near Louis Vuitton. Inside 

Louis Vuitton we got a guide to help us and we started searching. We were searching for a backpack and 

a purse. We selected a black backpack and a blue and red purse. We could not get them however because 

neither my mom or my dad have their passports and if you wanted to buy something at Louis Vuitton you 

would need your passport handy. We decided to go back home. On the way we picked up some macarons 

from Pierre Hermé. For lunch I ate sushi and shared some with my dad since there were 24 pieces. We 

had an appointment for the Eiffel Tower at 9:30. While we waited to leave I wrote more entries like this 

one and me and my family watched funny videos. At 8:30 we headed towards the once red and now brown

Tower. We arrived at the store that we were supposed to meet at. At 9:30 we began walking to the tower. 

Before entering the tower we got some background knowledge. Once we got through security we took a lift 

up to the second floor. We looked around, then we took the stairs down to the first floor. on the first floor we 

had to take a look down to the base. After the Eiffel Tower we went home.

       On Friday after the power went out, making our whole neighborhood suddenly dark, my parents decided to go to their  work to get internet. Having nothing better to do other than read but it was too dark I decided to listen to music and  an audiobook, while looking out of the window with my only source of light being a small flashlight. However before  my father, left he boiled water and put it In a thermos so I could make ramen later,      Because I had nothing to do I used the hall to practice volleyball. At times there was enough sunlight to read by a  window or do a diamond dots sticky puzzle. When I got bored I would see if anything had happened outside by  going into my room and looking at the window which overlooked our front yard. Since I didn’t want to waste the  battery from the flashlight I tried to stay near a window as a source of light as much as possible. For dinner we went  to Red bowl and I got s...

My expirence at the Whitewater Center Rock Ride Paddle camp

Image
  The Whitewater camp called Rock, Ride, Paddle is a one week long camp in which you do various activities throughout the week. Some of the activities include whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. There are other camps like Adventure camp but they are not focused on certain activities. Below are the activities we did and how each of them were. Whitewater Kayaking Whitewater kayaking is when you ride rapids and learn how to control a kayak. The first thing you learn is  how to put on the gear and after that you learn how to wet exit if you flip over. After that you get in the  water and practice. We were supposed to kayak for around 2 hrs per day but the first day that we were  supposed to kayak they were testing the water and didn't want people in the water. So on the second day  we spent 4 hours kayaking to make up for the time we missed. On the second day we first swam some of  the rapids to understand how they flowed. Then we rode the ...

Why we shouldn't give participation trophies

            The tradition of giving participation trophies started in 1922 when a basketball team in Ohio gave its players the trophies. They give kids participation trophies to make them feel good about playing the sport. The trophies are usually awarded to the players that don't score high. However, participation trophies are not only awarded to kids they are also given to older age groups and for other activities not just Basketball. Then, an author for a newspaper named Victor Martinez started talking about participation trophies being bad for kids, in 1998.  Unlike many kids that like receiving participation awards because it makes them feel special I feel that they produced an effect that makes kids feel overconfident and when they fall it is worse.  I play a lot of sports and when I get a trophy when my team or myself get a trophy for doing nothing, it feels unfair. To me getting a participation trophy is like getting a participati...
