My Summer

     This summer was different then the ones in my past. So many things happened this summer. One of the major things was that it was the summer before I started a new school and high school. To prepare for this year I had to do a lot of running since I joined the cross country team. The best part was that I got to go on the annual cross country boot camp in Destin, Florida. We did run a lot, but overall it was a very rewarding and enjoyable trip.

     Most of my summer consisted of running with the team, but there were a few other things I did, such as visiting my dad in Shreveport, going to the beach with my family, going on a mission trip, and going to Houston on a fishing expedition with family. While the fishing trip was short, it was certainly adventurous.  The first day we had caught no fish at all, but on the second we caught about 100 fish and kept 13. That trip was a very interesting one. From staying out on the bay all day to the 6 foot water moccasin  next to me, it was completely fun. In addition, my mom remarried, so I gained a stepdad, stepbrother, and stepsister.  My summer was filled with many exciting things, but am I happy that I am now starting high school.
