Some people think that school is not important and pointless; well, you’re right! But when you become a senior, your school life will change. As you progress forward you start to get your own stairs that no one is supposed to use, your own day of school to skip, you get your last meal as a senior and you also get to go on a senior trip.
This year the seniors chose to go to Kalahari Resorts in Sandusky, Ohio for two days and one night. The whole trip was about two 
hours there and back but it seemed longer for the seniors that stayed up all night playing Xbox 360 and hanging out with friends. On the way down the bus was pretty comfortable, other than the small bathroom and the extremely small televisions that were oddly placed. We stopped at the rest stops on the way there and back, got food, and then continued our scenic trip to Kalahari.

As we all walked curiously into the lobby, arms full of bags, we were told to patiently wait while our rooms were being prepped. We got into two rooms; one for the women and another for the men, and then we hit the park. While gathering a few people and walking through the park, the first thing people noticed was the size of the place: it seemed like a Super Bowl arena with multi-colored waterslides going throughout the entire building.
The water park isn’t the only thing that Kalahari has. They also have spas, hot tubs, and very nice hotel rooms. The rooms we stayed in had two queen-sized beds with a pull out bed in the couch, free high-speed Internet and a nice Philips 32-inch television with pay-per-view movies. Most people who stayed up moved from room to room and the rest just stayed in their room with other people, playing cards or just messing around. Some people that tried to go to sleep got a rude awaking. “When I took Jeff and body slammed him in our room, it was pretty sweet. We pretty much beat the (stuffing) out of him. Let’s just say Jeff would try to go to sleep and we would wake him up multiple times in ways that no one would want to be woken up,” said Lance Wilson.
Some people thought that the whole park was a blast, but most people had their favorite slides and parts. “I liked the Victorian Falls; even though the line was really long, it was worth it,” replied Lyndsey Klatt. But some people liked the pools, like Andrea Schaedler. “I liked all of us in the wave pool,” she said. Since it was the first time for most of us, remembering the rides’ names was a little hard. “I like
d the one slide that’s not the big toilet bowl, but the little blue slide,” said Lance.Overall it was a good trip for everyone, including senior advisor Mr. Irelan, who was a great help in getting the trip organized with our class officers. “The senior trip overall was pretty awesome,” said Gene Stockford. Lance just wanted to play the clown and stay out of the fighting. “It was all good because I wasn’t in any of the drama, I was all set. It was one big comedy movie to me,” explained Lance. Mr. Irelan said it was a learning experience when we got back into class the following day and he also told us how great the trip went.
