Oliver's story blog

            When I get home, I know I will have tons of stories to tell about my semester. I will most likely tell them about my expedition and the wacky moments we had. I think sharing my experience is important because they probably would want to know how my semester went and how I’ve been doing. I usually give my stories time until I’m ready to share them with friends and family.

    I know if I sent my kid away to an adventure boarding school I would want to hear all about his/her experience. I find it fun to be able to share stories with people and see how they react to your experience. I want to exchange stories with my family members because they weren’t there to experience them and see how my semester unfolded. I know my mom wants to hear all about it!

Every body should have interesting stories to tell about some crazy mishap or some turn of events. If not, someone has a really boring life.

            I would like to explain to you about my canoeing trips. Rowing in open water brought back an old memory of mine. When I was eleven years old, my dad and I went canoeing in Georgia’s Okeefenokee Swamp on a Scout trip. I took it a step further in the Everglades.

            The Everglades is much more spread out than the Okeefenokee is. We went through many spread out bays to reach our campsites. It takes lots of teamwork to canoe in the Everglades. It gets hot down there and your arms will get a good workout in them.

            Unfortunately, we had to retreat back to land prematurely because of an incident we had. I wish I could have seen more but it was worth it. We then camped back at Collier Seminole State Park. I will have more adventure stories to come in the future.
