Seeing the Statue of Liberty with your classmates for the very first time is an experience one will never forget. Compared to Hawaii it isn't the same type of trip, but there is more historical value on this trip. In May of 2009 we were just finishing up seventh grade and were excited for the end of the year. Our teachers decided that since we had been really good they would take us to NYC and to see Ellis Island and all the history there. So the seventh and sixth grade class got on the bus to experience something new.
My Classmates and I decided to make the most of the trip even though we didn't like the class below us all to well. We rode a fairy over to Ellis Island and explored the museum there. Our whole class looked through the stones that had the names of immigrants engraved on them. We each counted the amount of people who we saw with our last name.
Once we reached the Statue of Liberty we started to climb the steps. Each of us counting them and ending up with different numbers by the end. Over all the trip was a new experience and I got to spend it with some of my greets friends. We did get in trouble by our teachers for sharing a lollipop, but the trip was memorable. My class grew closer after that trip and we understood each other much better.
Life Lesson #6: Going on trips with your friends always means that something is going happen. It is up to you to make it good or bad.
