YABC SENIOR TRIP 5/6/15

Over the course of our phenomenal senior trip I was fortunate enough to visit two wonderful colleges; each with an amazing campus. We also visited an amusement park, and enjoyed ` great food the entire weekend. Our first stop was, Seton Hall University located in New Jersey, which was spectacular. Reason being, we were able to get a feel of the college classroom, we witnessed how big the classes were, took a look into the gym, library, and weight room. Oh and the food! The food we ate in their cafeteria was very delightful. Next we had an interesting bus ride to Virginia. It was a funny bus trip though; the ride consisted of action movies and tons of jokes, no numbers two?s on the bus!!! (Insider).? Once we arrived in Virginia we ate dinner at CiCi?s Pizza, then we were off to the hotel. The following morning was followed by breakfast in the hotel then Busch Gardens; this was my first time going to an amusement park and Mr.Smallhorne being the adventurous principal he is, got me to go on almost every roller coaster. I was scared at first; However, I loosened up and thought it was a fun and exciting experience. After a crazy day at the amusement park, we went to Golden Corral for dinner. Then, we had one more night at the hotel until Howard University, I couldn?t wait. I was so happy the trip to Washington, DC didn?t feel long at all. Upon arrival, at Howard University we ate a delicious meal in?the cafeteria; I took part in creating an omelet. In addition, besides being greedy and eating all their food, we were able to see the Howard Museum, a look at the buildings where specific classes take place, the Howard Bookstore and two members from a fraternity showed us a little bit of one of their stepping routines. One of the members of the fraternity was a former YABC student who went off to Howard; (did I mention he was also our tour guide that day?) Yup! I wish I could tell you every detail of the trip but this would go on and on; just know it was fun and I felt honored to be afforded this opportunity. This trip inspired me to stay focused on my daily curriculums and work hard; so one day I can go to a University. I?ll be honest, just standing on the college campus gave me goose bumps, because I know I want to go to college.

 

Thanks For the Opportunity Mr. Smallhorne and the whole YABC/Lehman Staff, once again for playing a part in motivating me and impacting my life through this senior trip.
