I’m very excited about this experience, but I was expecting the ship to be bigger! I hope this will be fun along with being a learning experience.

I’m so excited to be on the Half Moon. I wanted to go on ever since I had heard about it. I think it’s going to be an awesome experience.

My sister voyaged on the Half Moon a few years ago. She had a magnificent time. I heard her stories and knew that I wanted to have the experience. I have been waiting all summer for this, and now I’m excited, to say the least. I love to play soccer, my favorite subject is math, and I love to draw.

I am in 8th grade and very excited for this trip. I haven’t been on boats for more than a few hours, so this is really interesting. I just hope I don’t get seasick!

I am very grateful to be on the Half Moon because not many kids get this chance. In my free time I enjoy playing soccer and hanging out with my friends.

I am excited to be here because it will be cool to smeet new people and learn new things. I am also nervous because I don’t want to mess up and do anything wrong!
