Worldschooling

Hi, I’m Jack and my family is going an an around the world trip. First, we’ve decided to go to London. We have wanted to go on this trip for years. I specifically didn’t want to go because the thought of leaving my friends, school, house and city did not sound fun. I play basketball, soccer, football, and I ski in winter. I do art, play drums piano, some guitar, and I’ve learned various other instruments in school. Eventually (after a whole lot of “I’ll sleep on in”), I realized that the trip would actually be a really fun experience for me. So, here I am on the plane writing this. Let me make one thing clear. It was hard. I didn’t think it would be so hard to pack for eight months or so, but I was pretty much wrong. On the one hand, we had to figure out what to bring, and on the other hand, we (mostly my parents) had to decide where to go. I’m ten years old and my older sister is twelve. Our parents thought that this was the perfect time to leave. They had been thinking about it for a really long time, and we kinda wanted to go last year, but not as much me. Getting six shots and swallowing four pills was not fun. I didn’t think we would get rabies anyway. We needed more time to prepare. When we left to visit our grandparents in Boston before we left, we had way too many bags. It was only me (Jack), my dad (Greg), and my older sister (lily) because my mom (Emily) had left early to visit friends in Florida. We had barely any time to do last minute stuff, so my dad stuffed a bunch of random (not literally random, stuff he considered bringing) stuff into his fold up travel duffel and a bunch of other bags we weren’t thinking of bringing anyway. Once we got through security and everything at the airport, we finally got to the plane. In Boston, some of our friends stayed with us in our grandparents’ house. But after preparing a lot even there, we finally set off to London.
