This past weekend I stayed at Westgate Resort & Spa! This was done because we stayed with my sister's finance's family, to have family bonding time. It was such a fun weekend because I had many things to do, and everyday I had something new to do everyday. I got there Friday, stayed Saturday, went to Aquactica on Sunday, and stayed half of the day on Monday and came back home.

First on Friday, I did not go to school because we left around 11p.m. and i had to pack and get everything in the car and everything together before we left for Orlando, because that was where the resort was located. So, I packed my bags and got the snack bags, cooler, and my bag together while my mom was packing up the car. Then, after we had gotten packed and everything was in the car, we left for Anthony's house, my sister's finance, and we just waited around for everyone else to get ready so that way we can follow each other down because my family did not know where the resort was. Then when we got to the resort, we unpacked and got settled into the room and went straight down to the pool. Then we stayed up till 1 playing games.

On Saturday, I woke up at 7 because i had not wanted to sleep my whole day away because when I stay somewhere on vacation I do not like sleeping in because then it would just waste the morning away. When i had woken up i put on my bathing suit and went over to Anthony's family's room because they had made breakfast. They made bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, and cinnamon buns. They also had apple juice, and orange juice. The breakfast was really good, then we went down to the lake to rent a paddle boat. I got onto the boat with my brother and we started paddling down the lake and he had tipped me over and I had not been wearing my life vest. Then for lunch we made hamburgers and hot dogs, then we went down to the pool and had a fun time. Then for dinner we had made ribs and pasta. Then in the rooms we had a jacuzzi in our room and after we had dinner we all got in it and over flowed it with bubbles. Then we had all gone to bed early because we had to wake up at 6 to go to Aqucatica the next morning.

Then on Sunday, i had woken up at 6 because we all had to get up because we were going to Aqucatica, which was 15 minutes away from our hotel. But we had to wake up so early because if you buy your tickets online you can get into the park an hour early. So we had gotten there at 7. We went on every ride and we got a food pass so we can eat all the time whenever we want. One of the rides, Omaka Rocka, i had fallen out of the tub and came down the slide without it. It was so much fun and we did not leave the park until 5 p.m. we had all been so burnt. By the time we got back to the hotel, we all passed out for an hour or so then went down to the pool.

On Monday, i had woken up at 8 because we got a late check out for the last day, at 3. I had been so exhausted from the day before from Aqucatica so i had slept in a little bit until my alarm had gone off. Then when I woke up I had gone to the pool until about 2. Then I got up to the room to pack up the food, drinks, and our clothes. Then we headed out for the day to come back home. The weekend had been so much fun, and the Westgate Resort & Spa is a really nice place, i would love to go again.

Over the past year, many things have changed that have changed me for the better. Things have changed in my life that have not only helped me learn about things, but also changed my life. These things include, going into the EMS Academy, joining Athletic Training, and becoming friends with Alyssa Jones. All of these things have changed me for the better, and made me who I am today. I wouldn’t be anywhere with where I am now if it was not for these three things. I appreciate all of these things and know that I will still have them in the long run.

When I first started off high school, I was not sure what track I would like to go on, but my brother and sister had told me about the EMS academy, and right when they had explained to me what it was about, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do. Joining the EMS Academy was probably the best thing I could have ever done because it made it clear to me that this is exactly what I want to do in life and there is not anything else that I would rather do in life. While being in the EMS Academy, I’ve realized a lot of things that has helped me out with deciding what I want to do in life. While being in the academy, I have realized that I want to be an EMT and drive the EVAC, then to go get me degree for becoming a Pediatrician. If I had not joined the academy, I would have realized what I truly want to do in life or be who I am today.

While being in the EMS Academy, I also learned about Athletic Training. I joined training because I had thought it would help me out with my medical track in life. Athletic Training is an after school community service ordeal. You can tape people who are hurt, give them ice, learn about injuries and even get to see an injury go down and see the whole treatment and how you do it. I love training because it has not only helped me meet many new people who will be my friends for many years, but it has also helped me get even more encouraged about going into the medical field and pursuing my life as an EMT or Pediatrician. Training has helped me become what I want to be, and it also has helped me get the most community service hours in the freshmen/sophomore class. It has really helped me, and will still help me while pursuing me career.

Well, where do I start? Alyssa Jones is my best friend, and I have no idea where I would be without her. She has made me the person I am today. She always pushes me to do my best and even helps me out with a mega crisis, and she never lets me down while helping me. Alyssa has helped me through school, whether it be tutoring me, or just even pushing me to do my best. She has been there for me this whole year, and without her I probably would not be who I am today. She has taught me so many things and she is my best friend in the whole world and I do not know what I would do without her support, love or even motivation. Alyssa Jones is my absolute best friend and she will always be there for me no matter what.

In conclusion, you can tell that these three things have really changed my life over the past year. Without these I do not think I would know what I want to do in life, or even be the person I am today. While this past year has almost come to an end, I am grateful for the things that I not only have accomplished, but also just even open my eyes into what my life holds for me ahead. I don’t think I could have made it through my first year of high school without these three amazing things that have happened to me, and I know I would not be who I am today.
