My Summer

This summer, I traveled to North Carolina and Washington DC, and I went to camp and Camp Hardtner. In North Carolina, we saw colleges for my older sister and walked around down town Chapel Hill. There, we ate at a little bakery and went shopping in some local boutiques. Our second stop was DC, and the first thing we did when we got there was go to some Smithsonian Museums. Also in DC, we went to the National Mall and saw all kinds of monuments and historical buildings that I had only seen in books before. Everything there was so beautiful in North Carolina and Washington DC and I would love to go to both places again sometime.

The second thing I did this summer was go to Camp Hardtner. I have been going to camp there ever since I can remember so bringing friends this year was really fun. My friends and I were in Cabin Six and everyone there got really close. We played fun games all week, and even though it was really hot, I still had an amazing time. While we were there, we had three dances and all of them were so much fun. On the last day, it was so hard to say good bye to everybody because I knew I may not see them for a year or ever again. Camp was a great way to end my summer because I got to be with all of my friends in a place I love.

             On St. Patrick's Day, our school hosted a softball tournament where we played a school from New Orleans called McGhee. It was one of our first few games, so we were a little nervous going in to play. The game ended pretty quickly, and they won by over ten points. We were all let down that we had lost, but we knew that we would play them again. This weekend was our second game against them, and we went to New Orleans to play. We were all excited and nervous to play them again, but I had a good feeling about the game.              We got there, warmed up, and the game started. It started very similarly to our first game against them, so we started to loose our energy. However, my team started to get some hits, get on bases, and get some runs. We got more and more excited as we got more runs, and when we were down by three, a girl on my team hit the ball out of the park with bases loaded. We were all so excited and we ended up winning by one. It was by far the best game

Fall Break

       Fall break is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives me time to relax and do whatever I want. My break started off with having a friend over to spend the night. While she was over, we went to the Episcopal football game and met up with some people there. We stayed until the very end and cheered on the Knights. After the game, we went back to my house and watched some movies.        The next day, we went to the mall. It was so much fun because we got to walk around and shop. One of my favorite stores at the mall is Sephora. We went to Sephora and tested all of the newest make-up and skin care products. After a long day of shopping, we went to the food court and got some ice cream. Once we had both gotten home, I spent the next few days relaxing and taking a break from school.

March for Our Lives Highlights: Students Protesting Guns Say ‘Enough Is Enough’ By the New York Times While reading this article describing the outcomes of the March For Our Lives protests that broke out all over the world, the New York Times informs the reader about the impact and meaning these protests had for the world. One thing that stood out to me was how widespread the cause was: “ More than 800 protests were planned in every American state, including in some gun-friendly cities, and on every continent except for Antarctica, according to a website set up by organizers ” (The New York Times). Another topic the article seemed to stress was the purpose surrounding the marches. The students from Stoneman Douglas, the school that suffered a school shooting in February, want to spread awareness about gun violence. They believe there should be thorough background checks when it comes to buying guns, and assault rifles should be banned. I chose to write about the March For Our
