Freedom. You have probably used the word many times, heard it almost everyday, but do you really know the meaning of the word? Before I came on the Freedom Tour I hadn't really thought about freedom either. The Freedom Tour has taught me so many things that I would never have gotten to learn or experience on my own. While traveling around with my group and on the bus I learned the history and independence of our country. This trip was not only educational, but also fun and interesting. We stopped by several locations that inspired me as a person and lead me to discover a new world that I had never experienced before. I would like to express to oncoming 8th graders how important this trip is, and that it has taught me so much. And now as were on the bus traveling back to our houses, I know I will never forget this freedom tour, and that the information I learned will stay with me throughout my life.

Starting off the day at five thirty in the morning, and leaving at six fifteen to drive to NYC catch a glimpse of the Today Show was very worth it. No one likes getting up early. But who wouldnʼt want to miss seeing people from Americaʼs favorite morning show? I wouldnʼt. Seeing the cast of the Today show was very fun, and everyone was ecstatic when they saw Andrew Garfield sitting in the studio, being interviewed by the Weather Channelʼs morning host. He kept turning around and waving at us. He even took a video of us as crazed fans on his phone. It was very exciting to see some famous stars.
! Along with all the thrills, we got to all take the elevator up to the top of Rockefeller Center, which was amazing. Great views of sky scrapers and the beautiful Central Park bought joy to everyone, and with the excitement, the hair on our heads stood up straight. Literally. But not to long after, was the time we all got to join into our groups, and wander off into the wondrous Times Square, a very bright lit, and very populated area of New York City. Shopping with friends, and just having a good time was the most important part of this day, and Iʼll never forget it. To conclude the day, we all ended up having a late lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. A great cafe where you went back in time music wise, and were reminded of how really great music was and still is.
!
! This trip was a wonderful once in a life time opportunity, and we should always remember it. This trip taught us how to handle situations, how to be a mature person when needed, and to just stay your self while having a lot of fun experiencing places youʼve always wanted to go to.
