Have you ever been on a trip that is truly exciting and unexpected?

The Trip Of A Lifetime
Pexel

When I was 13, my grandparents decided to take me on an extraordinary vacation. While on this vacation I went to Orlando, Flordia; Billings, Montana; and Sequoia national park. My favorite part of the vacation was to Billings Montana, because of Yellowstone National Park. The favorite part of Yellowstone is the awesome geysers, especially Old Faithful. I liked Old Faithful because I was able to see it erupt multiple times. It shot into the sky what looked like 50 feet to my little 13-year-old self. While I was there, I also saw loads of cool sulfur lakes. The coolest part of the lakes were the multiple arrange of colors.

The Sequoia National Park was amazing. The Sequoia tree only grows in certain specific environments. The environment for the Sequoia tree is high altitude and extreme temperature. The high temperatures that are required for the trees to drop their seeds are usually very hard to achieve accept from lightning and on porpoise forest fires. The high altitude state park has many gorgeous sights of true nature: crystal cove, amazing waterfalls and the trees that stretch up to 80-100 ft. high. I loved seeing the waterfalls it was absolutely amazing. I got to see so many great things while on that vacation; however, the worst part was that there is a three-mile hike, but it is totally worth it.

The trip to Florida was a whole week of fun. We spent multiple days in both Universal Studios and Sea World. Sea World was where we spent most of our time, and I was also able to see Shamu. It was amazing to see the monumental Orcha. While there I also saw a seal show and a dolphin show. The shows also have a good theme to those that hear it. The only complaint that I have is that it is hard to hear what the actors are saying, but because I had seen it more than once, I was able to get the message. I also spent a day and a half at Sea World’s water park, Aquatica. The park is amazingly awesome and huge; I loved the wave pool and lazy man river. I will never forget the experiences that I had while on the trip with my grandparents, especially my grandmother. She, being the traveler that she is, has shown me the majority of the United States and the beauty that it has. Together we have seen the beauty that nature has to offer, and it is truly amazing and something that should not be wasted so easily.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
