Stokes Day One Journal

Stokes has been an amazing trip so far, and I know a lot of people have been looking forward to it. My favorite activities were the A.S.E. Challenges. I enjoyed these activities because they helped us learn how to communicate with each other, and how to cooperate with others. I learned that somethings need friends to accomplish things by helping each other and working together. Although those were my favorite activities for the day,I had a specific favorite.

My favorite A.S.E. Activity of the day was the Spider-Web. In the Spider-Web, you have to try and go through the holes in the ropes, without ringing the bell attached to the ropes, or without waking up the spider. The ideas about how to solve this challenge were a little too ordinary. Then someone thought of holding the rope with the bell attached so that the bell wouldn't hit anything. And this idea, which was legal, lead us to complete the challenge. This was my favorite activity today, but I also enjoyed something else.  The last activity I enjoyed was being a cruiser at dinner. As a cruiser, you get to the mess hall 15 minutes earlier in order to set the table. During dinner, you get the food and refill the drinks. And, during dessert I give the extras to the people with the best behavior. Also, they had to kiss up to me. Since so many people have enjoyed Stokes so far, I think the school should keep the trips going.
