is a journey of finding yourself and how your loved ones see you in
their eyes. Further, this can be online and carried forward to share,
if you wish, to future generations. - See more at:

The prompt for the week is:School Trips
- Did you go on any school trips?
- Where did you go?
- Memories and trinkets of those special days?
Elementary School
During my elementary school days, at Walden Elementary School, there were very few school trips.
I remember going to the following:
Space Farm - which we visited twice and once when I was in Girl Scouts
Catskill Game Farm - which we visited twice. Sometimes my mother did take me here over the summer vacation.

Middle School
During my time in Middle School, we did not go on any school trips. It was said to be because of budget limitations. Unless, of course, you count the walk we did from there to the high school to see films on Martin Luther King, Jr. Not there is anything wrong with this, but when you think of a school trip, you don't count on going to the building next door to see a film on a projector.

High School
High school was almost a mirror image of the middle school days except we didn't even get the films.
In grade 12, senior year, there were trips to Florida and other get "togethers" that were held. However, due to financial and other family limits, I could not go to any of these.
I did go to trade school at Orange Ulster BOCES during this time and belonged to a club called FBLA. The club did go to a conference which enacted just like a school trip. This was to Rochester to participate in contests for all of New York in certain areas. My area was Financial Information Processing at that point.
College
College was completely different than my other school years. Once I joined into a club at Orange County Community College, we did try and do things. The first few years it was visiting IT tech areas in firms in the towns nearby. By the time I was in my second and last year of the college, we did do a few other trips - one to Boston to see the Computer Museum (now closed) and the other was to Washington DC to see the Smithsonian.
