My Summer

My summer had its ups and downs, as I had some great experiences but it also had a couple sad ones, and once again flew by like usual. I had to say goodbye to sister as she left to go to college in August, but on the brighter side had a fantastic experience when I went on a two week trip to Costa Rica in July, where I got to see picturesque waterfalls and rain forests, meet all sorts of new people, and see life in a village with a society much less privileged than our own. This gave me a completely different perspective, and was a great experience in what was for the most part a great summer.
