                                         The Phenomenal Teen Ranch

         November 3^rd, my dad said "Before you leave, stay safe and be independent" I knew even before I got there, it was going to be tough, but fun at the same time. It was going to be a "Life changing experience." And we reached there Teen Ranch, Orangeville Toronto, November 4^th, 2013 and there were the horses and activities and there was the coach house, we were in our cabin 10:30pm, lights out said Mr. Stamcoff, we went to sleep. Next Day we woke up, BOOM! There was all the delicious food.

Another special thing about this year's Teen Ranch was the food, especially the breakfast because we got to choose any cereal we wanted such as: Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes and also oatmeal. And also after that they gave us things like Cupcakes, muffins, pancakes and also waffles. But all the lunches were great as well, but not as good as I thought it would be such as: steak, ribs and all that good stuff. But it was really good, not the vegetables part though. And on top of that dinner at 5:00pm was even better, we had burgers and fries and other junk food that we can probably eat at home. And of course "Best for last" the deserts! All of the deserts were amazing we had everything any child would ask for! Like ice crème, yogurt, brownies, and also hot chocolate! None the less all the food was amazing and would love to go back there and stay for another week at Teen Ranch.

Another good part about Teen Ranch was the cabins; our cabin consists of Chris, Adrian, Christian, and Chadd, Me. We were possibly the loudest cabin out of all the 8 of them. I could not sleep because Chadd and Christian were farting, Adrian was snoring, Chris was just talking, I don't know what I did because I was asleep. But the cabins were great either way.

The Activities were amazing, there were 3 groups divided in half and there was a red group, Yellow, Green, I was in the red group with some of my friends and the first activity we did was horseback riding and every other group had to do horseback riding twice in the week, we went Tuesday and Thursday. The first horse I picked was Rascal; I did not like him because he did not listen to me and kept on farting! And the second time I picked Daisy and I picked her because she was fast and he listened to me. But she was mean, she kept on pushing other horses. Rock climbing was not to fun because the rocks were so small and I couldn't grab on to them. On Thursday, we played a game called Predator vs Prey, It was really fun because I was a fox and the only thing I could not get was a wolf and the diseases. I was also hiding and under logs and I was sneaking up on people and getting them, I was unsuccessful against Ms. Babb because she snuck up on me and got me with a ball. We also went Skating every day of the week except for Wednesday. Other than that all the activities were really good.  

Teen Ranch was an amazing experience and I would love to go there some other time. I realized I became a lot more independent at home and at school. The event changed my whole life! I thank the whole Cardinal Leger for giving us the opportunity to only pay $75 for a week, other than last year when they paid $250. Thanks for changing my life.
