My trip to Quebec When I was in high school the only thing that mattered to me was singing. I grew up in a family that sang in churches‚ all over the east coast.

The very first thing I smelt when I walked out of the meager airport was diesel. It was my first time out of the country and I didn’t know what I was going to expect. Was it everything people told me it was going to be? Was it depressing? Scary? Heart wrenching? Why yes‚ yes it was. However‚ it was an experience I will never forget.

One dark vague morning I awoke‚ to rays of sunlight beaming down on my face. I slowly begin to smile as thoughts flowed into me like a river. I jumped up with excitement as I realized we were going to Florida. I grabbed all my bags that I had packed the night before and laid them beside the door.
