Jose Ruiz, final draft

Jose Ruiz’s Final, 6th Period
Dominican Republic

After the three hour plane ride we finally landed in paradise. It was time to exit the plane and check into the resort. The resort was beautiful; the landscape was all palm trees, bushes, and freshly cut grass. There were two huge pools and an amazing beach with white sand. A great thing about the resort is the pools and beach were a walking distance from the room. The resort was wonderful, but there were no one my age around.
After we unpacked I started to wander the resort. While roaming the resort I noticed there were people from all over. There were people from different parts of the U.S. and from different countries in Europe. I also noticed that there were no people my age, they were all in their twenties or older. After I have noticed this I became worried.
I began thinking about whether or not I was going to have fun because I did not think I was going to meet anybody my age. I knew if I did not meet anybody I would have to stay with my family, which would be awful because they are always arguing. After the first and second day I still did not see anybody, but on the third day I saw this girl my age. That was the point in which I knew I was going to have fun. When I first saw her it was when I was going into the pool. I saw her and her brother playing basketball in the pool. So I went up and asked her if I can join her. Unfortunately she did not speak any English. So I had to use hand gestures to communicate with her and her brother.
After I met them we would meet each other at every show and activity the resort held for us. For those couple days we spent a lot of time together. Well like all good things it had to come to an end, they left two days earlier than we did. It was fun was while it lasted, but I was happy she left because then I got to spend the rest of my vacation with my family in paradise.
