Alaska Is...

                  Alaska is a place where you can go to get away form all your troubles.  It is quiet and peaceful.  It is also a place you can go when you just want to get away for a while.  You can do many things that will make you feel happy and calm.  The views here will take your breath away.  It is so amazing and beautiful.  I never thought that there would be a place like Alaska.  To me, this is paradise. 

Final Reflections

            Being in Alaska has been a great learning experience for me, but it has also been a time for me to get to know many great people. Being here has opened up my eyes to all of the beautiful things nature has given us. When I am here, I feel like I have never felt before. I am like the many other people here in Alaska, happy to be here, and always enjoying the views
            My favorite part of being in Alaska is being able to get to know all of the people and becoming one big family. Doing all of the activities and talking to people has been really fun. It is a shame that it has to end so early, and I wish I could get to know more people. I am definitely going to try to come back next year.
