Alaska Is:
         Alaska is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Alaska has been an adventure; climbing mountains, going whale watching, and touring the bay, visiting museums, and roughing it in tents, we have done it all, Nothing can compare to the experience we have had in Alaska. Standing at the top of a mountain, looking at the scenery below and around us, and at same time, having a snowball fight… this could only happen in Alaska. Alaska is majestic, mysterious, wild, breath taking, and amazing. You have to be in Alaska to really be able to soak in the whole experience.

Final Reflection:
        Alaska is…wow! There really aren’t any words to describe the experience we have had in Alaska. It has been amazing to visit Alaska for these three weeks; we have done so much in this short time.
      From mountain climbing to whale watching, Alaska has been wonderful. Visiting the museums and exploring the towns has taught myself and others so much about Alaska’s history. Surviving using outhouses and having no running water has made us jump for joy when we came across a place with flushing toilets; only in Alaska could you have that kind of experience.
      Amazing things happened here in Alaska. People grew, including myself, when they realized what they could accomplish when they set their minds to it. Alaska is wonderful like that. Being on this trip has helped everyone realize their potential.
      I have loved everything we have done in Alaska. It has been amazing to watch myself and others challenge each other and grow. Alaska has been a wonderful, breathtaking, amazing, enjoyable adventure. I will definitely come back to this gorgeous state I have fallen in love with: Alaska!
