This summer I realized that you can learn even when you’re not sitting in a classroom. I learned how to do many new things, including: being responsible for myself and others, how to make friends more quickly, and how to entertain myself with no electronic devices.

This summer I saw a lot of things. The most interesting things I saw were fish swimming underneath me in Bermuda. The most scary thing I saw was the edge of The Leap Of Faith, a really steep waterside in the Bahamas. The best things I saw were friends that I haven’t seen in a long time.

This summer I discovered bunch of new things. I discovered a new restaurant called Snow Days. They sell this thing that is kind of like a snow cone and kind of like ice cream. I discovered what it is like to be away from home for a long time.

This summer I built many new things. I built strong relationships with new people. I built my skills in squash, art, dance, gaga, and lots of other things. I built my ideas of the world. I built new emotions.

This summer I visited two different countries. I went to the Bahamas with my whole family. That includes my aunts, uncles, cousins, my grandpa, and my mom. It was really fun to be with everyone all at once because I don’t get to see everyone at once very often. I went to Bermuda with my mom for two days. I really enjoyed spending some quality time with my mom because before I went to Bermuda I hadn’t really had any of that.

This summer I experienced learning, seeing, discovering, building, and visiting. I experienced climbing up and down a cliff. It was like life, there are high points and low points. I experienced making new friends. I experienced climbing a rock wall at camp. I experienced trying oysters for the first time.

While I did all these thing this summer I felt lots of different emotions. I felt older when I learned to be responsible for myself and others. I felt scared when I looked off the edge of the Leap Of Faith. I felt excited when I built new relationships. I felt really happy when I saw my whole family together. I felt strong when I climbed up a cliff. I felt bitter sweet when I realized summer was pretty much over.

I recently went to Brigantine, NJ with a camp friend named Daniella. She invited me to join her and her family at a beach house they rented for a week. I stayed at her house from Sunday to Thursday. It was really fun because I got to know her and her family better. I also got to go to the beach everyday with her.

This is a picture of all of my cousins and I chilling in the Bahamas.

This is a picture of my cousin, Jordan and I jumping into a pool in the Bahamas.

This is a picture of my cousin, Jordan and I with a statue after dinner in the Bahamas.

This is a picture of my cousin, Jordan and I making a heart with our hands in front of the ocean in the Bahamas.

I recently went to the Bahamas with my whole family. All three of my cousins came. There names are Eva, Christopher and Jordan. Both of my Aunts came. There names are Erin, and Cindy. Both of my Uncles came. There names are Chris, and Adam. My Grandpa came. His name is Richard. Last, but not least my Mom came. Her name is Kim.

My mom and I go to the Bahamas a lot because my mom used to go there when she was little so now it is kind of a tradition for us. We always go to a resort called Atlantis. At Atlantis there are eight different water slides. The scariest one is called The Leap of Faith. It goes pretty much straight down. Then it goes through a shark tank (in a tube of course.) My favorite slide is called the Abyss. It is pretty much the same as the Leap of Faith but it is in the dark and you don’t go through a shark tank.

I really like the way the people sing happy birthday at Atlantis so every single dinner Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin would tell the people who work at the restaurant that it is my mom’s birthday even though it wasn’t. It was really funny because my mom didn’t know it was coming. Then at the end of the trip we all compared all the different birthday songs. My favorite was a the song from the Chinese restaurant called Chopstix (with a x).

I had a really fun time and i hope i can spend time with my whole family again soon.
