My Senior Trip

            


         On Friday, March 2012, I woke up from a deep sleep just like every other ordinary school day, but this particular day was going to be much more fun. I got to school around 7:30 a.m., dropped off my luggage in the conference room, and went off to class. I was excitedly waiting for the announcement. Afterwards, a couple of minutes later the announcement was made for all seniors going on the Senior Trip to head down to the conference room. And this is where the great trip began.

Couldn't wait for the big day. My luggage was ready
the night before.

We all got on three busses and headed to our destination. The Senior Trip was in Ellenville, New York. Honor's Heaven Resort & Spa was the name of the place where we were going . The principal, the teachers, the classmates and I were all heading to the resort. When we were on the bus there was a little group of my classmates who were sitting all the way at back on the bus. They were singing, rapping and screaming out so loud. I thought they were so excited about the trip as I was. But they after a while, were becoming a little annoying. Some of us were so busy listening to music, doing face-time with their family, playing on their cell phones and more. I sat down beside my bestfriend on the bus. I wanted to sit on the window side, but my best friend also wanted to. I did not want to be in a fight with her, so I let her sit on the window side. She noticed I was a little upset at the moment, and then she asked me " Are you ok, bestie?"  Yes, I'm fine bestie", I answered. Then, my bestfriend and I started to share out our snacks while we were heading to the resort.

When we finally arrived, we all got off of the bus and started to run fast, heading to the resort. The excitement was so real. We looked like kids when they receive a toy for the first time. After that, we all went to our bedrooms and dropped off our luggage. Later, my roomates and I decided to go to the pool and take a dip. We started to put on our bathing suit. One of my roomates didn't put anything on when we finished dressing up. It seemed very strange. She approached me and silently told me she'd forgot to bring her bathing suit. But later, I remember that I'd brought two bathing suits. I gave her one,and she took it. No one of my roomates noticed she was wearing my bathing suit. After we got dressed, my high school's supervisor told us we could not go anywhere untill she's checked everyone was at the resort. We got very upset and decided to take off our bathing suit. Afterwards, the principal checked out everyone was there and safe. She started to tell us the rules and what we should or shouldn't do in the resort, for the rest of the evening . My classmate and I couldn't do so much the first day.

The second day was much more fun. We all woke up so early in the morning. We had breakfast, and then we ran to the ice-skating spot. We started to take pictures of each other and in groups. My bestfriend and I were always together. While my bestfriend and I were sharing out every single moment and details, I noticed how truly I loved her and vice-versa. At nightfall, we all went to the resort's night club. We all danced together. We had a dancer's competition. And the principal was the one who won the competition. What an amazing night!. 

On the morning of the third day, while everybody was waking up, a guy of my classmate walked in to my bedroom, and started to play with me while I was sleeping. He was just playing around, hitting me with a pillow, but I hated it.  I didn't realize there was a  pillow fight going on outside in the hallway. Teachers and students were all fighting with each other. It was a dumb game, and I didn't like it, probably because it was in the morning. After that, we all went to the pool area. Our principal and teachers created a pool party for the grad class. They created the area with many "grad" colorful balloons , and put a huge table with many pizza pie boxes on it, beverages,  plastic cups and plates, and a cute large rectangular blue and white cake. We also had a DJ who was jamming some nice music. No doubts the party was lit and alive. A couple of hours later, we all had to go to our bedroom to take a shower and dress up. We were already returning to our house. I didn't want to go to the reality. I had a great experience sharing with my classmate and  bestfriend, and the opportunity to meet people from my class even more. In addition, I had so much fun sharing those days with my bestfriend. I wish I could go back to those days, but you only live such an amazing experience once. It's definitely something I will never live again.

For the firt time I felt so freedom because I wasn't under my parents pressure. Being away from my parents somehow made me feel independent. I didn't know I could leave way from them until my senior trip.  I also, didn't realize how much grown I felt being away from them. This experience has made me think how my future life would be without being with them  by my side. Also, this experience made me become an open-minded to see life in many aspects.
