This summer was an amazing summer. At the beginning of summer, I took part in my school’s mission trip to the Philippines. My school, ZCS, has a sister school in the Philippines. The school’s name is Grace Community Christian School. Myself and 11 other students from ZCS traveled to the school, and 3 adults. We were gone for 15 days, and had an amazing time building relationships and seeing the beauty of the Philippines. We landed home at 1:30 A.M., and had a baseball game at 6:00 P.M. Our all star team got pretty far, and almost made it to the state tournament. we lost in the regional semi-finals. later in the summer, Sam Knot and I attended Knollcrest Music Camp at Calvin College. We had an amazing time and learned a lot of new music. The week after camp, My family and I went to Boston for 11 days. We learned a ton about American History, and also made stops at Niagara Falls, Cape Cod, and Cedar Point. We had an unforgettable time there and made tons of memories.
