When one is a home-schooled student, especially through the High School years, there are a lot of different and varied events and activities available: sports, Co-op classes, specialized field trips, family vacations turned into a mobile, remote classroom, and even a home-school prom. Some of these events, to enumerate only a few, include dance team competitions, volleyball competitions and tournaments, including regional and national level play, and baseball and softball competitions that culminate in a “world series” event for the home school teams.
During these home-school years, my family and I had the opportunity to attend/participate in The Home School World Series for three consecutive years, held annually in Auburndale, Florida. Now, …show more content…

My family and I have been to Disney World many times, but on one of these trips, I invited my best friend to go with us, giving me the opportunity to experience Walt Disney World (WDW) with my best friend, who was experiencing Disney for her first time. Just arriving in the WDW complex, you realize that you are in a magical place. Mickey Mouse and other Disney sites great you along the Disney roads that get you to Main Parking and the Transportation-Ticket Center.

Standing in amusement park lines, takes up a lot of time of your day. With each ride comes a new line, with new people. Being with others in a tight space throughout the day is sometimes strange, but my friend and I usually ended up talking to half the line. After we completed enjoying all of the rides and the people in Tomorrowland, of course we moved onto the next, Fantasyland. In Fantasyland there are the most iconic Disney rides, “it's a small world”, Peter Pan's Flight, Mad Tea Party (spinning teacups) and Mickey's Philharmagic. When we got on “it's a small world” we couldn't help but sing the most annoying song.
