Australia Trip
I took a trip to Australia for 2 weeks and got to do all sorts of things to expand my knowledge on the continent. I got to do things such as hold a koala, snorkel in the great barrier reef, visit the Whitsunday islands, and stay on a secluded island for 3 days and 2 nights. That trip was amazing and something I will never forget. -
Apollo Died
When Apollo died it was my first year of high school and I was very stressed out and when he died I felt it gave me a chance to release that stress and cry. He was such a big dog and when he left he left behind a lot of space to fill. Now when I come home I feel like the house is empty because I'm used to seeing this dopey dog wandering around.
