Journey:

Kaine Henderson was quite the respectful student at Minnetonka high school. He was both cool and smart at the same time. Every time he walked through the East side doors of the school, he would high five his basketball teammates like Tony and Tim, then he would wave to the girl students every time he passed them. So basically, life for Kaine was pretty swell. While Kaine enjoyed his life and his school, he felt there was something missing and that was the thrill of adventure.

Finally, Kaine’s patients had paid off, for one Wednesday morning in November, he found a poster Ever since he was little, Kaine always wanted to travel to other states like Utah, or Florida, or Even California, but his family just didn’t have the type money to travel that much. The only other state Kaine was able to travel to was Wisconsin, where he and his family would often spend time at the Kalahari resort on weekends in August. Otherwise the other state they would travel to is South Dakota, where they would spend time in the Bad lands and at Custard State park. But Kaine, was interested in going to a place he had never been before.

near the Cafeteria stating there was a Science group traveling to Chicago to get a good understanding of the Museum of Science and Industry the upcoming summer and he immediately said to himself, “I’ve gotta do that.”

With that, Kaine rushed to his Science teacher, Mr. Allen and asked him how to get into the group, to which Mr. Allen replied, “First, you’ve got to get your parents to sign this form, then they have to pay the principal for all the accommodations required for this journey.” Kaine replied to Mr. Allen “Yes sir, thank you very much sir.” As Kaine walked out of the Science room, Mr. Allen pointed out another thing to him. “And remember Kaine.” Kaine turned around to hear the last important thing. “You’re on this trip to learn, not to goof off.”

With that, Kaine walked out of the room excitedly, knowing that he was traveling to a city he had never been to in his life.

All that remade was for his parents to sign the form and pay for the things required for the trip. Kaine knew he was in for one big adventure and was ready to get out of the state again.

 

After multiple months of learning in class, the month of May finally arrived and Kaine was ready for school to be over with so he could enjoy his Science trip to Chicago. One Friday night after getting done with classes, Kaine and several other students met in Mr. Allen’s classroom for trip briefing. As each student went to go find a desk to sit at, Mr. Allen passed out itineraries to every student. As Mr. Allen spoke, he pointed out every single detail of the trip, including the hotel they would be staying in, the Museums they would be visiting and some of the restaurants they would be eating as a group. As Mr. Allen continued speaking, Kaine raised his hand for a question. “Excuse me, sir. I don’t happen to see anything in this itinerary regarding the Ghirardelli ice cream shop.” “Well, I’m sorry Kaine, we won’t be stopping for Ice Cream on this trip.” Kaine was then disappointed, for he had been dying for some Ghirardelli ice cream forever and he thought by going to Chicago, he would finally get the opportunity to dine on some. “Well sir,” Asked Kaine “Are there any meals of the day that are not reserved on this Itinerary?” Mr. Allen then replied, “Well Kaine, dinner is optional for Thursday and Friday nights. So I won’t mind if you students go out for your own dinner on those two nights. But I do ask that you return to the Hotel by eight, or I am goanna start worrying for you, and have to report you lost. So you must stick with the group at all times. I don’t want have another lost student on my watch after that trip to Hollywood three years ago.”

Kaine then nodded his head in understanding, knowing that this trip would definitely be one of those that required a lot of discipline and focus, but seeing as he could be pretty flexible, he would be willing to accept the terms and row with it.
