Over the summer I did a lot of traveling! My mom and I flew down from Massachusetts and moved all of our things in one day with the help of my uncle. We are currently living in a townhouse in Agoura Hills, CA. About 3 days after we settled in, I got to go visit my dad who lives up in Lancaster, and spent about 3 ½ weeks with him and my stepbrothers and sister. I also attended a 2-week math program at Stanford University and got to experience what college feels like. Then 2 days after I got home, we went on a road trip to Wyoming to visit my mom’s boyfriend’s (Wes) family. It was a 17-hour drive and on the car were Wes, my mom, my aunt Jasmine, and myself. We were there for about 1 ½ weeks and stayed at his dad’s’ cabin in Dubois, Wyoming. Two of my favorite experiences we had were going horseback riding and riding the ATV’s! After the 17-hour drive home, I realized that the next day I was going on another trip to Washington to go see my grandparents, but at least this one was only a 2-hour plane ride. I spent exactly one week with them and had a blast, as always! After returning home for the fourth time, I was done traveling, well at least for a while, but I still had an adventure to look forward to, SCHOOL! I was frightened and excited at the same time, but am still looking forward to it!

I started school September 1st at AEWright Middle School. It’s been 5 days since I started and I am liking it, as well as my teachers. The funny part is that all of my teachers are females. I think my favorite teacher so far would have to be my science teacher, Ms. Wessels. I made a lot of friends and I’m happy to be back ay school, but the work can get a little trying sometimes, it’s definately a lot more work than 6th grade!
