Elijah--Carnival to Mexico


Carnival to Mexico
  I remembered they day I got out of school for summer break it was 2010 , and once I got home I had to pack my bags because where going on a cruise called Carnival to Mexico. It was the first time my brother and I were going to Mexico. That afternoon we were all I the truck plus my uncle because he was going to drop us off at the long beach port. Were we would leave for are five day trip through the Pacific Ocean. We would take two days get there, one day to stay at Mexico and two days to get back. The first my family and I spent on the ship was amazing. The first thing my brother and I did was find are room change in to are swimming shorts and run to the swimming pool we jumped into the pool and some of the water got in my mouth. I looked at my brother and he was looking at me and by his face he tasted the water to. We got out of the pool around mid-afternoon and walked to the land got lounge and got ice cream “unlimited J” on the way back to our room to shower and get ready for dinner I overheard a group of people saying that the noticed the water was ocean water . The next day we when we got ready to go eat breakfast on the balcony enjoying the view and actually see a small group of dolphins jumping out of the water. In the afternoon we went to the top deck where they had ping pong mini golf and a track to get some exercise in. I meet an aquatint which we played basketball, swam in the pool, and took a break by getting more ice cream. The next day I was looking for him on the pool deck only to find out that he was sick. Luckily that day we got to Baha California, Mexico. Once we got off the ship we got on a tourist bus to the Bufadora in English the blow hole. Where water would shot up into the air because the water forced out through a hole. While we were e there we got a Pina colada “virgin” of course but, it was the best one I’ve ever had. On the way back to the ship I saw little kids working for money because they were really poor. Once we got on the ship and were on are way back. We ate lobster tail for dinner, when the guy asked me what wanted to drink I asked for a Pina colada but it didn’t taste the same :(. The next day we were packing up most of our stuff because we were going to arrive at long beach port once again to go back home. Before we got off I ran to get some more ice cream “haha” :). When my uncle came to pick us up and we were on are way back to the house my grandparents ask what we learned from Mexico, I said “to be grateful for what we had because a lot of kids didn’t have anything” THE END!

  1. I use smiley faces all the time and this definitely seems like an appropriate application of them. I think the presence of the lil emoticons really adds something natural and relatable to this piece. Great job :)

  3. That was quite a summer experience you had there! It sounded very fun, this passage made me want to fast forward through this semester and straight to summer vacation. Great Job, with the recollection of events, however my one piece of advice is, try to refrain from adding emoticons to your passages because it can be a little distracting sometimes. But great job!

  5. I liked that you added a life lesson. However, there were grammatical errors in your work that kind of threw me off. Instead of have a piece of writing that flowed easily, it had those sudden ubrupt phrases. Overall this was quite cute and fun. Thank you for sharing your work.

  7. I really enjoyed reading this piece because you were descriptive on what you did during your stay at Mexico and just from providing a lot of detail, I can tell this trip was a blast for you because not only were you with your family, but you also learned that not everyone is as fortunate as others. Great job, Elijah.

  18. I liked the details you included in your work. I also liked how you managed to tie a lesson of life into it in the end as well. You could improve your grammar in some places because there were points where I was confused, but good job! The emotes were a cute touch, made it more personal haha.

  19. I can relate to this because I also went on the Carnival Cruise to Mexico. The unlimited ice cream and 24 hr pizza was surprising to me. Every night I would always get ice cream. This was one of those bonding times with my family.

  24. Great story! I haven't been on a cruise ship before but I have gone to Mexico. I also saw a lot of kids working because they didn't have enough money. Loved the last sentence, it touched my heart. the only thing that I would say is that you had a lot of misspelled words and not enough commas and words out of order. But over all Great job.

  68. I really liked your story on your experience and fun as well as observing the people around us and your lesson from going on a cruise to Mexico. Although you did have many miswritten words and your thoughts weren't in order.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I went on a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico when I was nine. This reminded me of that experience and brought many great memories back. I enjoyed how you tied your overall experience to a theme of humility and gratefulness. Sometimes we have to see what we don't have in order to appreciate what we do. Good job :)
