Alaska Is

To me Alaska is breath taking! I loved and still love when I wake up in the morning and see mountains. Everything here is amazing and beautiful. When you arrive in Alaska you can feel the difference: the air is drier, there are more trees, its much lighter out than it usually is, and when you go to bed it’s still light out. One really cool thing is, the weather is like Michigan’s. It rains then gets sunny then starts raining again. It’s crazy how beautiful it is here. I think the best feeling is when you get to the top of a mountain with everyone on the trip. I can’t wait for the rest of the trip because I know it’s going to be really fun.  My advice to all the future participants, do really good in school so that your grades help you get to go on this trip. It is an amazing experience. I would live here if I could.

Final Reflections

            Alaska has been an amazing place and I know I am going to come back again. Everything here is wonderful. When you first fly into Alaska the first thing you see is mountains. Millions of mountains everywhere you look. Another really cool thing you notice when you drive through Alaska is all the wildlife. Even if you don’t get to see all the animals you want to see, you still get to see some that you have never seen before. Climbing mountains and becoming more of a family than friends is another wonderful thing I got experience on this trip. When you climb that mountain and reach the top you have that amazing feeling of accomplishment. Or when you try sign your name on the talent show form. Then sing for the first time in front of people you never would. It’s a feeling that no one will or can forget because it is so great. I wish everyone could experience Alaska like I have.
