One thing that I have enjoyed so far this year is camp. It was so much fun to be outside spending time with friends and making new friends. I loved being in nature and spending time with God so the fact that I could do that with my friends just made it even better. One thing I have learned this year is that sand dollars show all of the symbols of Christmas. They have 5 holes where the nails and spear went into Jesus and they have the poinsettias  from christmas.  I never new that sand dollars were symbols of christianity. One thing that I am looking forward to this year is the 8th grade banquet. I look forward to celebrating graduation with my friends. I also think that day is going to be a sad day too.
