Thunder, sunshine, and yummy food

This was inspired by my friends Brianna, Trinity, and Vanessa

 

Ding dong! Went the doorbell. Trinity, Vanessa and I all thundered down the stairs to meet Brianna. 

Trinity got to the door first and was just opening it when Vanessa and I arrived. We had planned to

surprise Brianna, so while I took her upstairs, Vanessa and Trinity got our coats and supplies. We 

met in the backyard and then we told Brianna our surprise. We were going to sleep in the tree house 

in my backyard all night. We hauled everything up and then started playing monopoly.


Suddenly we heard THUNDER and it started to rain. We never planned for rain. Vanessa pointed out

a bigger problem. The house was about 3/10s of miles away from the tree house and it was very 

dangerous to run back. We sat in silence, until Trinity pointed out that we really had everything 

that we needed - food, water and shelter. Feeling a little more cheered up, Brianna and I started 

making sandwiches. After we ate we decided to turn in. We left one flashlight in the middle in case 

anybody needed it. First Brianna fell asleep, then Vanessa, Trinity and then finally I drifted off too.  


In the morning we woke to the sunlight peeking through the trees, as if to say GOOD MORNING. 

We all clambered out of bed and started packing our stuff. The air smelled of fresh rain as we 

started back. When we got to my house we were greeted by an amazing smell. Waffles dripping with 

maple syrup sat on the table. We ate until we were full. It was wonderful food. It was delicious food.

It was yummy food.

       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...
