My High School Trip

I was in a club called HERO my senior year in High School. One of the best things about this program is that the class gets to take a trip to Disneyland at the end of the year. It was our responsibility as a group to raise money for this. We had bake sales every week, car washes, sold booklets with discounts for the mall and coupon books. We eventually raised the money needed. In late March we began our three day trip. First, the bus driver did not know how to drive the bus because he ran over a stop sign and hit the curb all before we checked into our hotel. Our neighbors in the hotel were students from another high school, Marcos De Niza, who decided to break the rules and party late into the night every night we were there. On our first day, although my roommates and I were exhausted from lack of sleep we enjoyed Disneyland a lot. We rode every ride we liked twice, ate tons of junk food and loved browsing and shopping. On the second we did more shopping at the mall and we walked barefoot on the beach with the moon guiding our way. Our final day we spent it traveling back to Phoenix, seven hours, on the bus from hell. I could do without the bus ride but the experience and friendships I developed in this program will last a lifetime.
