Writing Assignment #1 - Larry Garcia

A time where I was completely immersed in what I was doing was when I was in 7th grade and went on a field trip to go see constellations on some type of camp. We would go out at nights and walk around the campus, or go and lay down and look up into the sky. The place where we were we could see the whole night sky. There was not one star that wasn’t able to be seen. It was in the fall, so the air was nice and cool. I layed on the hill that overlooked the whole campus. We were surrounded by trees so high that it would be impossible to climb them. We stayed on that campus for three nights. Just looking up at the sky, not having a care in the world. During the day time, we would all hang out outside since they had this huge field where you could play soccer, football, or kickball. We would play out so much that when it came time to watch the stars, we would lay there for hours. That time in my life was so calm because I had no responsibilities or anything. Just me and my friends hanging out under the vast sea of stars above us. Another time I fully immersed myself in what I was doing was last year during sophomore year. My friends and I would play basketball at Wentworth park from 5pm to 11pm almost everyday during the summer. I remember all my friends around me, playing on the dimly lit courts while music was playing in the background. I had no worries either because it was the summer. It felt like we could play forever, or until our legs gave out. That summer was a fun one, but I have a great feeling about this upcoming summer.
