Leah's Amazing Adventure
Hi, my name is Leah. I am 17 years old A student at Tranquility High School in Tranquility, Nevada. This is my story of my once normal life that turned into an amazing adventure.
Looking through my room I looked for my favorite sweatshirt. Finally finding my gray and red Ohio State sweatshirt I finished packing my bags for the weekend annual camping trip for the 4th of July holiday weekend. I was so excited; I was looking forward to spending time in the outdoors away from school. I loved our camping trips, I loved spending time with my parents Ken and Tela and my brothers Andrew and Joey. We are a very tight knit family and did a lot of family activities. This year we were going to go to camp that had a lake and beautiful scenery. We were going to roast marshmallows, make s'mores, and roast hot dogs on an open campfire. I was definitely excited and looking forward to leaving the next day!
Before my alarm clock could even go off, I got up and shut it off. It was 7am and I was looking forward to leaving at 9am on our trip. We decided that we should probably leave early because we wanted to get settled in before the fireworks began that night at the campground.
Bouncing down the stairs, I noticed my mom in the kitchen packing up various snack foods, water, and the cooler for our trip. I went in the kitchen and gave my mom a hug and told her good morning. "Good morning Leah, you are up and about early!" I looked at her and said, "Yep, I can't wait until we leave I am so excited about the trip!" As mom and I were in the kitchen dad, Andrew and Joey came in from outside and asked if we had anything else besides the food that needed packed. I told them no, and then dad announced that we were ready to go!
On the way there we were talking about various things we were going to do. The dad, the boys and I wanted to fish, and mom wanted to stay behind and read a few books that she was taking along. We talked about funny things, we joked with each other, and made a few rest stops on the way there. Finally after an hour and a half drive we were finally at the camping site. We all pitched in and unloaded our gear, and set up our tents and were done within a half hour. I told mom and dad that I wanted to stretch my legs before the fireworks and the cookout and they had no problem with it.
I headed off in no particular direction, just walking and smelling the fresh summer air was enough to clear my head. I decided to follow a path in the forest that led up to a waterfall.
As I was walking up I tripped over what I thought was a rock. As I turned and looked at it I noticed that it had strange symbols on it. I bent down and picked it up and when I did I felt a jolt of electricity and warmth spread all over my body. I decided that I should hold onto whatever it was and not tell anyone what happened, I really didn't want them to think that I was crazy! Maybe I would ask my uncle about it when I got back, after all he was a Major in the military and he knew how to keep things classified.
Figuring that I have been away from the family long enough, I decided to head back down. The sun was just starting to go down and the path back to our camp site was lined with other campfires. I loved the smell of campfires, I don't know what it was about them but I always loved the smell.
Coming up to our campsite my dad looked at me and said, "Leah, did you have a nice walk?" "Yeah dad I did, I walked all the way up to the waterfall and just admired the beautiful scenery awhile. We should all walk up there before we leave." Dad quickly agreed and offered me a branch with a hot dog attached to it. We were cooking out when dusk finally settled and fireworks began. The rest of the night went quickly; we made s'mores and then headed off to bed.
The next morning I woke up and got ready for the day. I didn't know why, but I felt different. I felt like I had more energy and was extremely well rested. I felt peaceful, and excited to see what the day had in front of me.
