In March, I got this amazing chance to go to Disney with my family. we were all really excited and we ended up having to wake up super early just to be able to find a parking spot I guess 200 other people had the same idea because we were in line for 30 minutes which if you ask me. It was a long time and when we finally parked we had to walk two miles just to be able to get to the security. After that, we took this little train thing to get into the park. and when we first got there my little sisters were so happy cause it had been the first time they'd ever gone so seeing them happy made me happy. Now on a serious note why are disneys prices so high I mean 40 dollars for a headband come on that's just too much now I know they are just scamming us if I had known it was 25 dollars for a hamburger and fries i would have gone to a steakhouse or something because there is no way you can make something that expensive and get away with it. anyways at the end of the day, we all had fun and ended up walking 11 miles the whole day.

San Diego zoo

Now I think it was sometime around May that CVA had the chance to go to the San Diego Zoo. Thankfully my friends were able to go so we all could hang out together. when we first got there the staff took us to this secret lab that wasn't on the map it was kind of secluded with nothing around it and the whole point of that lab was to bring back endangered species and I was very fascinated with the idea of it when we got inside they sat us down in a classroom and they taught us a lot of stuff and by the end of it we got to create or biological own bird. After all of that, we were free to explore the zoo my friends and I got to see a lot of things like gorillas, Flamingos, birds, and lots of other creatures including rhinos it was super fun and we all enjoyed it and ended up leaving at like 5 when we got there 8 so we were there a while.

Uci in July

So our CVA esports team was able to get an invitation to the UCI esports club and go check It out it was super duper cool and it was like a town where they had restaurants like In and Out, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks and it was super cool to see they even had a gift shop with electronics food shirts everything you could think of. This is also where I met one of my best friends Ian we met inside the esports room and it was amazing there were tons of computers and the designs were so cool I'm glad I got to experience it and they let us play on the computers for an hour and a half so I was really excited and I got to play together with my friend Ian.

Knott's scary farm in October

October was my favorite month because I was able to go to Knotts Scary Farm I had lots of fun there and I got to go with my childhood friend and my parents when we got there the line was so long and I honestly was having second thoughts because once we were there. There would be no turning back and thinking about that made me so nervous but once I started getting used to it and the monsters it was fun. I loved it and it was so awsome I went through all the mazes and each one was scarier than the last. Yeah, I was super scared but it was fun and I wish I could've gotten some recordings to show you but it was awesome. The food was amazing it was a pulled pork sandwich and it was too good. I recommend it and the overall experience was awsome in itself 10/10 would go again.

AUHSD esports TOURNEMENT

this happened in December we had CVA's first tournament and I got to play in it sadly the experience itself sucked but I'm putting this on here because we got second place which is huge for our first tourney and I am very proud of myself and my team for it and I'm really glad I got to experience it overall the place was a little bit of a mess and I didn't know why it was this unorganized but it was just a total fail on their part but we still managed to play even if it was one match and I am really happy that I went because I got to see a lot of players from different schools play
