Assignment #3

Option 1:

One place that has influenced me is my grandpa's summer home in Lodi, Wisconsin. I have gone there since I was very young, and I have learned many things there. My dad and grandpa taught me how to fish, how to make a fire, and how to drive a boat. This place has made me love the outdoors more and has developed in me an interest in fishing.

Option 3:

One time that I felt out of place was during the summer this year. My friend told me about a fishing trip that he was going on through his church, and how we would be riding down the Mississippi on house boats, and fishing wherever we stopped. So I signed up for the trip and paid the fee. A few weeks later, though, I got a sheet in the mail telling me what to pack for the trip. On the sheet, the trip was titled as Sugar Creek Bible Camp, and the first item on the list to bring was a bible! I was really shocked because I thought we were going on a fishing trip.

I ended up going anyway, and the whole trip was really miserable for me. There was nobody at the camp that I liked except for my friend that went with me, and we had to do all these worship and bible study activities, which I'm not really into. It was bad because we had no free time, and all the counselors treated us like little kids. The whole week we only were allowed to take one shower because there wasn't enough spare water on the house boats, and we had to eat really nasty food. Worst of all, during the couple hours that I did have to fish, I didn't catch a single fish. I felt out of place at Sugar Creek Bible Camp because I hated the place.
