Alaska Is...

      Alaska is the most amazing place I have ever been in my life!  At the beginning of the trip I’ll have to admit I was a little homesick, but now I’m enjoying this trip so much!  I’m already having thoughts of coming back as a junior leader!  The sights, sounds, and smells of the wonderful outdoors are amazing here.  I feel like I am in paradise!  Here, I feel so much more free and happy.  I also feel like there is no holding back on how much fun and amazement you see, feel, and even have.  This trip has led me to new friendships, new thoughts, and a lot of new feelings.  I really think Alaska has changed me in a good and positive kind of way.

      I absolutely love Alaska!  I am so thankful of all my family who helped make this trip possible for me.  Also, I really am thankful of all the leaders, junior leaders, and Mr. Rosene, who made this trip possible!  Bust most of all, I want to thank my wonderful family for making my trip possible.

Final Reflections

            Alaska is one word to me, “Amazing!” I can’t believe how fast this trip went by! I’m going to miss Alaska a lot. I think Alaska has changed me. I have become more considerate, helpful, and have a better attitude towards tasks. The thing I will remember the most about being here is the sights and sounds of the great outdoors. I also will remember that there is nothing like body-sledding 100 yards down a hill on a mountain in the middle of July! Alaska is life changing.
