Alaska Is...

      Alaska is cold mountain air filling my lungs, my hiking boots crunching on the inclined gravel with the mountain peak in sight.  Alaska is running into the midnight sun, shops and the smell of fair food lining the streets of Fairbanks, the large hooves of a female moose passing five feet in front of me.
            I have had so much fun in Alaska and it has taught me a lot of things about myself and others.  It has made me more responsible and an overall better person. 

Final Reflections

“Rap” Up
Moose, mountains, glaciers, galore
That’s not all Alaska is, it’s so much more.
It’s friendships, learning, teamwork too
Experiences, memories, and pushing yourself through.
It’s stopping the van to see the eagle fly,
Or getting on a boat to watch the whales pass by.
It’s catching your first halibut fish,
Or cleaning out someone else’s dish.
It’s holding a cute Iditarod puppy,
Or going to the tide pools and seeing a guppy.
It’s singing and dancing in the talent show,
Or running in the race no matter how slow.
Moose, mountains, glaciers, galore
That’s not all Alaska is, it’s so much more.
