In my freshman year of high school, I joined the Parliamentary Procedure team through my FCCLA chapter. Before joining, I hadn’t traveled a whole lot. We had gone on a few family trips to a couple different close by states and I had gone on short school trips in Wisconsin. Since joining FCCLA, I have gone to San Diego, California, Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia. We recently competed at state FCCLA and advanced to nationals. That means we get to go to Anaheim, California this summer! Aside from traveling through FCCLA, I got the opportunity to go to Europe two years ago with my parents. They go about every two years with a group of other farmers if they can to tour farms. Thankfully, the trip was not just touring farms. We got to go to multiple cities and tour them as well.
Traveling is so awesome to me because I get to see what different places are like. Going to each of the different places I have been has given me a feel of what big cities are like and how people do things differently. Traveling really gives me something to look forward to.
I have found that traveling with some of your best friends is the best way to do it. Being with people I enjoy being around and having these new experiences makes it 10 times more enjoyable. I have gone to California, Tennessee, and Georgia with the same people each time and was so much fun. I also went to Europe with a really good friend of mine from Canada who I only get to see about every two years, so it was so fun to have that experience with her.
Traveling is one of the best things I think there is. It allows you to get away from your normal life for a while. The break from reality is great and brings a lot of joy to my life.
