Buenos88:

Ok but why are you doing it in my question and not yours?

Buenos88:

@brokenmoon I think I have an idea about what to write about. My outdoor adventure class and the experiences I felt doing things for the first time or something within that class. How should I start it though?

How's this so far? It was November 10, 2021 when I experienced my first time backpacking. We had left from school early in the morning so that we could stop at a walmart for last minute supplies before we started on the long hike to get to camping grounds before nightfall. I'm trying to find where we went.

i like it. try adding something about the weather. like the crisp cool air rushed through my hair as we walked into walmart, or the hot dry air rushed down my throat as i climbed in the car.

It was November 10, 2021 when I experienced my first time backpacking at Ministers Creek with my outdoor adventure class. We had left from school early in the morning so that we could stop at a walmart for last minute supplies before we started on the long hike to get to camping grounds before nightfall. I had stepped out of the van at Ministers Creek and could smell the fresh air and the silence, right then I knew I was going to have great memories even with a backpack that was killing me. The hike had started out alright I talked to my classmates and got to know them better, and got to get away from the busy life at home. During the first day there weren’t many issues except for the fact of the backpack was squeezing my stomach too hard that I couldn’t breathe. About an hour or more into the hike it was finally time to eat, and I was ecstatic. We all sat and talked and I shared some of my food to lighten the load so that the hike to the campground was hopefully not as hard. By the time we reached the camp we were all exhausted but knew the work was not over, because we still had to pitch the tents and find sticks to start the fire, but we all were glad to not have the weight of the backpacks on us. That night I got to have fun going on a night hike, cooking smores around the fire and talking, singing, and playing catchphrase. While in my tent I was scared though because I don’t like to be alone in the dark, but I managed to fall asleep, but unfortunatlly kept waking up freezing. The next morning I had finally gotten some good sleep and was awoken by Mina kicking my tent and yelling to me to wake up, and it scared me awake. I then found out I was the last one up so I was behind. For breakfast though I got to try my skills at making oatmeal camping style and had some smore for breakfast because I was really wanting to get my load lighter.

BrokenMoon:

PERFECT!

Buenos88:

Cool. It's not done yet but almost there.

Alright this is the full thing. It was November 10, 2021 when I experienced my first time backpacking at Ministers Creek with my outdoor adventure class. We had left from school early in the morning so that we could stop at a walmart for last minute supplies before we started on the long hike to get to camping grounds before nightfall. I had stepped out of the van at Ministers Creek and could smell the fresh air and the silence, right then I knew I was going to have great memories even with a backpack that was killing me. The hike had started out alright I talked to my classmates and got to know them better, and got to get away from the busy life at home.

The next morning I had finally gotten some good sleep and was awoken by Mina kicking my tent and yelling to me to wake up, and it scared me awake. I then found out I was the last one up so I was behind. For breakfast though I got to try my skills at making oatmeal camping style and had some smore for breakfast because I was really wanting to get my load lighter, so I again started auctioning off my food like the night before. During the second part of the hike it was a lot more dangerous and some people were not really doing too hot but we foraged on and tried to survive. Thankfully everyone did and no injuries were reported. The main part of the last section of the hike was to go to the outlook and see the landscape and what all we did and what a view it was. I looked around and could see everyone else was enjoying it a much as me and we all knew that all the hardwork was worth it. While on the overlook we ate a snack to help us get through till lunch in which we were going to Burger King. After about fifteen minutes maybe we started on the last bit of trail which we all were eager to get through and finally be able to sit. When we finished a lot of the class went to go and find normal bathrooms and sit and relax, and on the way home we talked about our experience and also how much sleep we got. So now me and my classmates have a memory that lot experience for the first time and we all had fun no matter how hard it was.

Notes: Walmart needs to be capitalized, This line: "for the fact of the backpack was squeezing my stomach too hard that I couldn’t breathe." needs editing. im not sure what youre trying to say.... This line: We all sat and talked and I shared some of my food to lighten the load has the word and too much, try using a different word This line: That night I got to have fun going on a night hike, cooking smores around the fire and talking, singing, and playing catchphrase. While in my tent I was scared though because I don’t like to be alone in the dark, but I managed to fall asleep, but unfortunatlly ()kept waking up freezing. Says and too much and uses the word but too many times, edit that, plus you spelled unfortunately wrong XD This Line: had some smore for breakfast needs to either say had more or ate smores... And for the last line you need a conclusion I hope I helped!
