Fun-filled Memories

When I was on my fourth year, on the month of September, a rumor about having a field trip on the last week of October was circulating in our campus. I was very excited and a bit hesitant. Excited because, what else could be the reason, it's a field trip of course! It's where you will spend time with your friends and could even make new ones. It's where you go to different places and get to learn new things. But why also hesitant? Well, I'm scared that I won't be able to go on this one too. When I was a 2nd year, there was a 3 days-2 nights field trip to Davao and I wasn't able to go because at that time it was a short notice so my mother wasn't able to prepare for the financial matters. When my classmates went back, I was feeling a little left out. So I was wondering then if I could join this trip. I told my mom about it and said that we'll just see to it. Well, God did answer my prayers. I was so happy that I could join at last! It was a 3days and 2 nights field trip to Cagayan de Oro City.

We went to two factories, Asia Brewery and Pepsi, we had a tour around it and also got free drinks. They were huge and cool. It was my first time to enter a factory so I was really curious and amazed. Also, we got to tour around a museum of a university in Cagayan (sorry, I forgot the name). The ABS-CBN station, we also entered it and got to see what's the inside. I got to ride a horse in Manresa farm. It was cool! I think I had six rounds riding the horse. She was a mare. On my 4th round, the person who was assisting me got the horse to run fast. My hat flew and I was shouting and laughing. I was excited at the same time scared because I don't know how to make it slow. Fortunately, the man was able to catch up with us. It was really awesome. I also almost had another horse incident. It was on another place (also forgot the name), the horse I was riding and the other horse of my classmate got a fight. They where kicking each other! I held tight on the rope, I thought I was gonna fall. Good thing the caretaker came on time. I had mixed feelings again, fear and excitement. I got angry to my classmate because he was the one who made our horses fight but also was thankful because it was really a cool experience (even though it was dangerous).

To sum it up, it was really fun and unforgettable . I was very thankful and glad that I was able to come home safely and with a big smile on my face. I treasure those memories and will never forget the times I had with my friends. I hope that when you go to a field trip, don't be gloomy about it because it will surely be one of a kind experience.
