Alaska Is...

       Alaska is the most amazing place you have ever seen. Everyday I wake up and look outside and guess what I see? Mountains! It is the most incredible feeling ever because back home in Michigan, I wouldn’t have seen anything like what I have in Alaska. I am extremely grateful to be in this awesome place.

Final Reflections

         Alaska is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. Even after three weeks I am not tired of looking at all of the mountains. That is what I will miss the most, it s so beautiful. When we all went to the Pratt museum in Homer, we all had to sit down and watch a movie about the oil spill. After we were done it changed everything about me. I never thought how important it was and how big of a deal it is. I started to care about everything. When we were going to climb Mt. Healy, I was scared to death because I am scared of heights. But when we were about to climb it I got more scared. Thinking to myself that I can do it. I was fine until my ankle hurt and I felt sick to my stomach. When I got up top I was so happy because I accomplished something that I would never do if it weren’t for this trip. Two days before the whale watch we went on a boat ride. Oh my gosh, I was sick to my stomach so much that all I was thinking of was I want to get off. I get seasick every time we go on a boat ride. I knew right then that I could not go on the whale watch, but I have to because I don’t I’m going to miss out on a lot of things. So Judy the nurse gave me a seasick pill so I wouldn’t get sick. I was absolutely fine on the whale watch. I was glad that I didn’t give up on something. Other wise I would have missed out on a lot. I came here to have a life changing time so I am glad I did it. This trip is the kind of trip I will never be able to forget.
