The Ocean

The ocean scares me. I have pretty much always been afraid of the ocean. I think the first time I actualy thought about how scary the ocean is, was when I saw Jaws for the first time. Ever since then, every time I go to the beach, I can only think about a giant shark coming up and eating me. I have also been on boats a few times in the ocean and I was definetly afraid of falling into the water. Its not just sharks I think about, there are worse things that go through my head when I think about being in the ocean. I basicaly figure that as soon as I get in the water, something can see me and I can't see it. When your in the ocean, you can"t see anything that is actualy under water. Something could be swimming right under me and I would'nt know. So in conclusion, the ocean scares me. The end.

Florida

Every year my family and I go on vacation to Florida. I love going on vacation. Every year I have a great time and I never get bored. This year we are going in October and I am bringing my girlfriend, Charlotte. We Usually leave early in the morning and drive until late that night. We stop at a hotel and continue the trip for a few more hours in the morning. The trip in all takes about sixteen hours. The first place we go to is the beach on in a place called treasure island. we stay there for a couple of days and enjoy the beach, then we drive for a couple of hours to Orlando. Orlando is my favorite part of the trip, there we go to a bunch of theme parks such as: Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, Busch Gardens and sometimes Disney World. We also get to go out to eat for every meal we have, which I greatly enjoy. After the week is over, we start the long ride back to Gahanna, which means going back to my favorite place, school. :(

My Summer

This summer was amazing. I decided I wanted to try to play tennis at the beginning of summer. I loved it from the first time I played it. I asked my girlfriend, who is very good at tennis, to play with me me just about everyday over the summer. I played for about an hour or two a day. In the beginning of July, i decided to start taking group lessons with a bunch of high school students here in Gahanna. I loved it and could'nt wait for lessons every other day. By the end of the summer I had actually gotten good at the sport. I plan on playing indoors all through the winter and trying out for the team in the Spring. Tennis is'nt the only thing i did this Summer though. I also went on vacation with my girlfriend and her family to Lake Eerie. We stayed at a rented house right next to the lake; it was awesome. For a whole week we just relaxed and went to the lake and enjoyed the local entertainment. Near the end of the trip, we went to Cedar Point, which was about ten minutes from the house. The trip was really fun and I plan on going again next year. The rest of Summer is what you would expect; a lot of sleeping and relaxing. I think this was my best Summer yet and I can't wait for the next one.
