Survival Trip! Will I be a Hero any time?
About last week, JR, Edward, and Jim came to the school, and talked about people getting lost in the wilderness. So they decided to make a big change, but helping the Village out.. They wanted us to help with their program. They weren't getting payed for doing this job.. Thats great! So when they kept talking about the people getting lost here on the Island, I was thinking that I could help them.. It would make a big change, and the leaders, JR, Edward, and Jim would be proud of me, and all the other students that are helping.. And I was thinking that like what would the people be thinking about this hole thing.. I think they would be thinking that I'm a better person, helping, caring, and that I could be successful in life.. I really want to do this job.. Its like a job, but were not getting paid for it.. Its all cool with me.. I just want to help with this hole thing.. So they asked us if we want to help. I was the first one to raise my hand.. So they gave us papers to fill out.. And all the students that joined was, me, Jon, Jeremy, Harvey, and Ted.. And all the girls that joined was Corretta, and Erin.. Just two girls.. But thats great we have Ten people working for all this.. I feel taller, and more proud of my self.. We had 2 meeting before we went on a Survival Trip.. After we had those meetings, we finally went on one.. Wow, its my first time going on one of these trips.. I was really exited for it.. All the other people were experienced in this.. By going out in middle of no where, digging a tunnel with our hands in a blizzard.. I mean a really bad blizzard.. It was a white out.. But we met at the Fire Station at 7:00 P.M. straight.. We have to get there on time.. So we took couple of snow machines and sleds along, with all the food, and extra gear that we needed.. We went around 7:30 at night. The weather was bad out.. So we started going to the River.. When we got to the River, we stopped right on middle of the River with 3 inch water under us.. It was a bit scary at first.. So the only thing that Edward told us, was get digging.. I was stunned.. We didn't have any shovels with us.. We had to use our hands, and snow machines parts for shovels.. Its sounds like impossible to do it like that.. But just think about.. Its lots of help.. Use all the parts from your snow machine as possible.. Your snow go is worthless when your out out of gas, or if its not starting.. But we stared digging.. We had two teams.. I'm in team #1.. There's me, Ted, Corretta, and Jeremy.. And # 2 team, there's Erin, Harvey, and Jon.. So team 1 had so shovels.. We stared digging for like almost two hours with our hands.. The part that sucked the most was most of the snow was like ice.. But we just kicked it, and it broke.. We made the tunnel a success.. It would help us survive for days with the winds blowing at 60 miles per hour.. Our tunnel was about seven feet long.. As for the team # 2, they finished before us.. Well, yeah they had two shovels.. Its all cool with me.. I'm pretty experienced now by digging with my hands.. So after we were done digging, our Leader left us alone for a while.. He went back to town.. And now what? Well of course he came back after while.. Then we ate in our tunnels, and got ready to go back.. Just imagine..... What if you were by your self out there in middle of now where.. It's pretty scary just thinking about.. We have at least 2 people getting lost on this Island ever year.. Hope that dosen't happen this year.. We're there for them.. I'm glad I joined this hole thing.. Now I have a job to do.. But, will I be a Hero any time?

30,30,30,Middle,Middle,Middle.. Sigh*
Sorry I haven't been writing in my blog my readers.. If I have any readers. I really dont think my blog that interesting, because I really dont write about anything that interesting.. I dislike typing.. I'm a really slow typer. But when I start writing on a black paper, I'll start writing like crazy.. Well not really. Its just I have to, but its more easier to think when your writing on a paper, oh, and for me. I really cant think of what to write about today, but the weather out side is white.. Its a white out.. Thats what I say. The temp is 30 degrees out. Its pretty cold out for me. Over the the last week it has been like -30 with winds blowing up to 30 miles per hour.. HAHAHAHA 30, 30 ,30.. Well anyways.. I wish I can skate all the time here in Mekoryuk. Where can you skate in middle of the tundra? In middle of the bering sea? In middle of no where with 200 people living here on a deserted lsland.. Middle, Middle, Middle.. Not so funny at all dude! I skated a few times at the school in the gym.. it wasent so bad at all.. But I got into trouble for that some times when I'm on my break.. Hahaha just imagine skating in the lower 48's at a school with 2,000 students... In the gym.. I personally think, that the student will think that your a BADASS.. Hahaha what I mean by that is tying to get caught by teachers, and run away.. That really really big trouble right there. Thats fun to do, but try not to do that my fellow skaters.. Oh well, what ever!?! Thats it my readers.. If any one is reading this.. If you are, post a comment or some thing..
Peace! Don't do Drugz! You maybe herd that before..
