I was lost when I got my new dog,Maz I had no idea what it would be like to have a dog and how it would act around my cats. I think this quote is important because it tells me that you can try new things.

One day, I was at Disney. I got LITERALLY, LOST! I was playing in the Honey-I-Shrunk-The-Kids play place, and it was time to go. I was too busy playing, that I didn't hear my dad and mom screaming my name. They left, and walked about a yard out, without knowing I was still there. They realized I was gone, and rushed back, and told a worker. The worker couldn't find me, neither could my parents. The worker called in more workers to look for me. I had no idea where I was, or where I should go. I saw a cave, and went into a corner to hide and wait, because I couldn't find my parents either. One worker finally found me, and took me to my family. My mom was crying so hard while she hugged me. While I was lost, I found some new tunnels, slides, and huge hidden bugs! Being lost was good, because I found new equipment to play on! After that, we went home safely, and no one got lost! Yay! But in the airport there, AND back, I got lost too! But I found new restaurants, and snack bars! Then we ate there when I was found in the airport. So, "If you're not lost, you're not much of an explorer!"

Last year i went to a state park with my mom and brothers. It took 30 minutes to get there. It was a short ride because the cabin was close to it. So we all got out of the car. My mom grabbed a map and we started walking we saw waterfalls, bird, and expecilly lots trees. We were about a hour into the park. Me and my brothers played in the water a little above the waterfall. Then we started walking more. Then we stopped to rest and have a snack. Then my mom looks at the map !Oh No! We were having so much fun that we lost track of where we were! While we are trying to find where we are a person comes up to us and says "are you lost because you are right here on the map. Many people are getting lost and ask me" Then she walked away. After that we found our way to the car. Then we started driving, but my moms phone wouldnt work so we couldnt turn on the GPS but we got home by remembering the ways back. I was glad we found our way home.😁

I was lost in my work.At school in fourth grade last year,we had to learn about decimals and i was completely lost at what the teacher was saying.I felt so dizzy and nervous on the inside. When a test was coming up i started to pan eke so badly. Later that day before the test i was sitting on the bench at recces and a person in my class came over and helped me study for the test. After that day our test results came  in and i got a B but that is okay because it's still a good grade.

A few years ago I found an interest in cheer-leading. At the time I was only 7 years old. I joined a cheer team in Hanover called Galaxy Cheer All-stars. I was cheering for about a year, then i noticed most of the other girls already had a front walkover. I had a back walkover but I could not seem to get it forward. I felt embarrassed, for a little while I felt week. I almost felt like I was not needed on the team since I didn't have this skill. All because I could not do a front walkover. (fast forward a year) Now i was 9 I had been working so hard to get my front walkover. I wanted it s bad. So i made the decision to stop comparing myself to others and focus on my own path. (fast forward another year) Now I was 10, I was getting so close, but still, no front walkover. So I began taking tumbling lessons, I trained all weekend every weekend. Then one day (August 25 2018) I did my front walkover! I was no longer cheering with Galaxy, but i taught myself, Its my path i should worry about. There is no need to cause bumps in your own path by focusing on others. This quote reminds me that its okay to fail, its okay to not know how/what to do. If your going to be adventurous, your going to get lost, and that is okay.

One time My aunt was going to drop me off at my moms from a sleepover I had, but she got lost on the highway. We were lost for what seemed forever. My aunt started to just take random roads until she found a place that looked familiar. Unfortunately we wound up having to call my mom for directions because not even my aunts phone would work with the directions. Once me and my aunt were back we were not lost. It felt good not being lost, but we also had a good time in that car. I think people should use this quote because it can be encouraging and can help you with areas you are not good at. That quote really relates how being lost can also be a good thing. Like how y aunt and I had a good time in the car while we were lost.

Me, my sister, my grandma, and my grandpa were traveling to seven springs for vacation. On the way we missed a turn and couldn't find the road we needed. It was probably 10:00 AM and we were tired of traveling. After that turn we stopped at some big gas station. We got a bite to eat and we tried to look at the directions, but it would take us the long way. So then we looked at the big map at the gas station and someone came up to us and asked us if we were lost. We happily said yes and the person asked then where we were going. So then we replied and said seven springs and luckily the person was going there too and new the short cut. We were so happy because we were low on gas and wanted to save money and get some more at an ATM. The quote the Mrs.Curzi wrote went with us because we got lost and found something good out of it. We were the people who got found by an explorer but also we explored a kind and generous person 😊😁

The first time I was ever lost was in this random water/amusement park in the middle of nowhere. Myself and my brother in law were going down the water slide for a last time. When we finally reached the bottom we swam to the shore,and both of our families were gone. So we decided to check the wave pool because our phones were in the bags so we couldn't call anybody. After a long time of searching we found both of our families and it ended up okay. The one reason the quote and the time I was lost connect is because if we weren't lost we wouldn't of learned it's okay to be lost ,and always remember it will always turn out well in the end.

I have been lost one time. I was moving to a new school district. I have been in the school that I was moving away from for 4 years. The new school would be 30 minutes away from my old one so I could still visit friends. I was moving in the summer so I had some time before the school year started. The first day approached and I was shy no one would talk to me. I was really missing my old school. I later found out everyone thought I was was going to be a mean. Two weeks later I final started making friends all because of one thing. I wore a flower crown I made to school and all of a sudden people started talking to me. I made some friends and later had a close friend group that consisted of 3 other people and they are still my friends to this day. This connects to the quote because if I would have seen this quote it might have given me inspiration to talk to people.

I was lost the first time that I tried riding my bike. What happened was I had just got a new bike from the store. I really wanted to try it out. When the time came, I wouldn't get on my bike. I was lost because I didn't know what to do, how to sit on it, and how to even steer. But somehow, I needed to try it. So then one day in the summer, I got on my bike. At first, I thought I was going to get it. I tried peddeling, and I did it! All of a sudden I got too exited, and I fell. Even though I got some scrapes, I wanted to have that feeling again. A few days later, my sister saw me struggling. She showed me what to do. Then she told me that I can do anything. My sister had found me. And now, I am riding my bike almost every day because of my sister. This quote is good for me because it says your not an explorer if you don't get lost. I got lost many many times.

One time I was in the grocery store with my grandmother, and we were shopping and looking for food. I told her that I had to go to the bathroom, which was at the front of the store when we were in the produce section. She said to go quickly and then told me something as I walked away. I didn't hear her because I was already to far. I used the restroom and then quickly went back to the isle we were in before, but my grandma wasn't there. I looked around everywhere but couldn't find her. I then panicked and realized I was lost. After a little more searching I finally found her in the deli part of the store. I hugged her and told her what happened. She said that next time I go somewhere alone to either have somebody come with or bring my phone so I could call if I got lost. This experience connected to the quote because I was lost and then found, and I was exploring Giant (not intentionally) while lost.

The time that I felt lost, was in 4th grade I was trying to solve a REALLY hard math test. All the problems were just too hard for me and it was hard to complete. I had worked on all the things, but there was a-lot to handle! This math test was very crazy. I was totally lost on the things I was thinking about. I was for sure pushing myself to try this hard math test! This quote helps me because it tells you that you can do things that you MAYBE can`t do! Also, the first thing that I thought about was persevering, and trying hard!! This is my (literal) hard experience!

The time i was lost was when me and my friend were having a big argument and it got super heated then i punched him in the face and i just stood there and watched him lay on the ground thinking to myself what did i just do to my friend then i said omg im so very sorry then i helped him up and we were gucci after that but i let him get payback then we were gucci. I think this is a good quote because it will teach u not to be super violent.

There was a time when i got lost in the streets when i took my dog for a walk.That was my second time getting lost in the streets. I was scared and it was very dark outside. I didn't know what to do. My friends weren't around me.Then my mom found me and took me inside and i sat down with a hot drink of coco. I think this is a good quote because i think its trying to tell us that if we do get lost then we would be considered as explorers. But if you do get lost then your not an explorer. But for know this is a good quote for lot of people.Maybe for some people who like to explore or for people who don't like to explore. I think people should use this quote because its very encouraging and  its very catchy.But i like it.

The first time I visited Elmwood, I was lost. I was lost because I have never been in such a big school, compared to Northside. Elmwood was big, and scary. At one point I got used to Elmwood. The school that I am going to right now is not that big and scary after all.

The time that I got lost was when my family and I were on our way to North Carolina and we accidentally got of the wrong route. We were on a bridge and there was just so much traffic we were on that bridge for around 2 and a half  hours. When we got to the end of the bridge, it was just because the road needed to be fixed. As we were on the bridge I was very worried, and scared as it swayed in the strong winds,with all the weight of the full cars,large trucks, and oversized objects on the back of trucks. It seemed that All of the anxiety made our driver get of the wrong exit, making the already 4 and a half hour long trip, about 1 hour longer. This quote reminded me of this because we were literally,lost.

One time I figuratively got lost when my friend got mad at me and I had no idea why. I said something that was meant to be a joke, but she didn't realize it and thought I was just being inconsiderate and rude. I told her it was a joke and that she was overreacting. For awhile she just gave me the silent treatment, and then I was finally able to talk to her. As friendship works, she went back to being her same, weird, goofy self.

One day I felt the most lost I had a pretest on decimals. And because it was a pretest we did not even learn about them yet. I struggled then I see everybody turning in the test. I did not want to do bad on this test but I knew I would not do good. Almost 30 minutes into the test I was still on the first question. I think there were like twenty questions. At this time I started to get frustrated and disappointed. I started to doubt myself and then I remember the power of YET that I learned from my old school Upper Allen. I told myself I can do it I can do it I can do it! I knew that if I gave never decimals a chance I would never find out how good I could be with them. Even though it was hard for me I managed. I ended up not finishing the pretest in time but I learned something that is never to give up and stick with yet because having that in the back of my mind showed me that I can do anything i set my mind to. Now looking back the perfect saying is "If you are now lost you are not much of an explorer."

The time I felt lost was when my dog Haley died.

The time I felt the most lost was when my teacher in 3rd grade introduced us to figurative language. She said there was different types of figurative language before I even knew what figurative language was. She said there is personification, hyperbole, idiom, metaphor, onomatopoeia, and alliteration. At that point I thought she was just making up words. Then she said we will learn what these types of figurative language mean tomorrow. Later that day I asked my mom and she told me what all of them mean. She told me and I was ahead of the whole class. That is until the next day. This quote would help me reflect on my experience because I was lost and exploring. So that means I am an explorer.

The time that I felt the most lost was when my family and I went out for lunch. A year or two back, my family and I went on a road trip to go to lunch at a place called " Old Country Buffet". We were on our way there and once we got there, we had a nice lunch. They had a buffet with everything that you could've dreamed of. Fish, Chicken, Vegetables, Fruit, and most importantly, DESSERT!!! As we were on our way home from an amazing lunch, my dad thought that the GPS said to go right. So he went right. (But the GPS actually said to go left.)I told him to just pull in to someones driveway and just turn around, but we were basically in the middle of nowhere. Then my dad reset the GPS and it gave us a route that we had never taken before but just wanted to get home. So we took the GPS route and we finally made our way home!

The time that I felt the most lost was when I moved top Harrisburg the day I graduated from college.  I moved into my first apartment in the city and knew absolutely noone.  My friends were scattered around the country and this was a new beginning for me. I needed to find a job...QUICK...and somehow needed to start paying my rent, but a car, and get groceries.  I wanted to give up because it was so very hard.  After a few days I was able to get 2 jobs.  I began waiting tables at night and teaching at a summer program for inner city youth.  These 2 jobs paid the bills, but I was still longing to get my first teaching job.  I was lonely and missed my friends. My car broke down, so I bought a bike from the classified ads in the newspaper.  I was eating ramon noodles everyday as my tears of not finding my dream job were seeming like a cold reality.  A few weeks went by and I was teaching at the summer program when I was approached by a lovely woman.  She said that she saw me teach and was inspired by my passion.  She offered me a job to be her 5th grade teacher at Foose Elementary.  I was overjoyed!  Finally something was going right.  I was so very lost and confused, but perseverance and determination allowed me to keep going and I was found!  19 years later I still have the best job in the world!
