Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
The furthest I have traveled from home was to Australia. I went to Australia during the summer of 2012. When I went to Australia I was traveling with a group of people in the student ambassador program, "people to people." This group was founded by Dwight D. Eisenhower, back in 1957. He founded this group because he wanted to get young people involved world peace, and to not stereotype, and let the young learn about different cultures. I started this program when I was in the 5th grade, and I have been traveling with People to People for 4 years now.
So in the summer of 2012, I had the opportunity to travel to Australia. It was a really nice place to be, because everybody was really friendly, nice, and accepting. When we left the U.S. for the flight, we left out of Dallas, Texas. The flight was 21 hours to Sydney, but it was worth it. This is defiantly the furthest I have ever been from home. Next summer I will have another opportunity to go to Australia again, with Dr. Hawking.
