Nine Hours in a Car

The Minnesota YAF Conference Diaries Part 1

I think that it's safe to say that the car ride to Minnesota wasn't very scenic. It was long, though. With my physical disability, sitting in a car for a long time like that makes my legs stiff and sore. Luckily, we did stop several times- to get gas, food, and use the bathroom. Without making any of those stops, I think everyone in the car- the "singing car"- in which I had the pleasure of riding in going to Minnesota- probably would have gone crazy.
Weather conditions were also a bit of trouble.Coming out of Springfield, the weather was clear and nice. I hadn't originally planned on needding a light-weight jacket in Minnesota. Yes, the farther north we travelled, the cooler it got. At least it didn't snow- not cold enough.

My Interesting Life As a Student

Springfield, Illinois, United States
I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
