Alaska Is...

                  Alaska is…one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to in my life.  It’s all I expected and a whole lot more.  The mountains are very beautiful and it never gets old staring at them.  I could look at them for hours.  One of the most beautiful sights is on tope of a mountain.  You can see everything from the top of a mountain—it’s crazy.  What you see of Alaska on TV and in pictures is a fraction of the beauty that you see for real.  When I leave this place I will most definitely come back either when I grow up or with my family.  I really can’t explain to you in words how beautiful it is here in Alaska!

Final Reflections

ALGP 2009 has been one of the best trips I have ever been on and I have changed a lot over the last three weeks.  Alaska has made me realize who I really am and has made me reach out more to others rather than just hanging out with my same friends.  One of my favorite things one the trip was how beautiful things are, especially on top of the mountain.  I also love that we had a snowball fight in July.  I’ve made a lot of new friends on the trip because of my van and tent and just the group things we did.  Again, this has to be one of the best trips I have ever been on and I plan to come back to Alaska again sometime in my lifetime.
