My future trip to London and Paris

On our original itinerary, we would have begun our journey in Manchester, embarking on a guided walking tour to explore the city’s rich history and notable landmarks. Next, we would have headed to the stunning Lake District, visiting Rydal Mount, the beloved home of poet William Wordsworth. After that, we intended to journey to Haworth to discover the Brontë Museum, immersing ourselves in the lives of the remarkable Brontë sisters - Charlotte, Anne, and Emily. Following this, we had plans to visit the magnificent York Minster and then continue on to Stratford-upon-Avon, where we could have toured the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Our adventure would have included a visit to Oxford and a stroll through the elegant Georgian squares of Bath. The highlight of our trip would undoubtedly have been London, where we’d visit iconic sites such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and Buckingham Palace. To cap it all off, we would have concluded our journey with a visit to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, participating in a literature workshop, exploring the theatre, and enjoying a captivating performance before heading home. However, due to a lack of signups, we have reimagined our trip into an exciting 9-day adventure that includes both London and Paris. We will now kick off our journey in Canterbury, exploring its medieval walls and the renowned Canterbury Cathedral. Next, we’ll travel to London, where we’ll embark on a walking tour of some of the city’s most cherished attractions. Over the next few days, we'll visit remarkable landmarks such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and Windsor Castle. A visit to the British Museum will also be on our agenda before we hop on a train to Paris! In the enchanting city of Paris, we’ll marvel at renowned sights like the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. We’ll dedicate a day to touring the grandeur of Versailles and other significant sites, fully absorbing the charm of the city. To wrap up our adventure, we’ll explore Montmartre, visit the stunning Sacré-Cœur, and enjoy a leisurely river cruise. Finally, we’ll return home, brimming with unforgettable memories from both cities.

       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

  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...
