Spring Break Free Write
My spring break was amazing! It was
so much fun! I went to California where I visited my Aunt, Uncle, and my 3
cousins Oliver, 2, Lucie, 5, and Jonah, 8. It was only my sister, Scarlett, and
I who went.
The first day I got there, Saturday
morning, I landed in San Francisco where we all went to the Exploratorium. It
was amazing. It was and interactive museum that had really fascinating things
that all the kids could play with. After that we drove to my Aunt Erin and
Uncle Mike’s house in Concord, California. That was about and hour and fifteen
minute drive home. Later that day we went to Jonah’s friend’s birthday party at
a gymnastics place. Then we went to my aunt and uncles friend’s house where we
played games, watched a movie, ate pizza, and saw there cats new born babies.
The next day, Sunday, was very
relaxed. We all slept in and then got ready for church. After church we all
relaxed and watch Cosmos. Later that night we had family home evening and then
we all just went to bed. That was the most relaxing day, but probably one of
the funniest days.
On Monday
all the cousins except for Oliver went to school. My aunt, sister, Oliver, and
I waited for them to get home by relaxing and jumping on their tramp. When all
the kids got home we all went to a really fun park called Heather Farms. Then
had little man made hills with fake grass that you could slide down while on a
piece of cardboard. That was one of my favorite things we did! It was so much
fun and entertaining for everyone. After that we headed to Baskin Robins and
got some delicious ice cream. When all the kids went to bed my aunt gave her
yoga class and my uncle and I got to join. Although extremely painful for me it
was amazing and really fun to do.
Tuesday we
went to Tilden Regional Park. We went to the botanical garden, and it was so
beautiful. After that we headed to a little farm in Tilden and we fed goats and
sheep and petted cows. The cows were very funny and the goats were really fun
to feed. After that we went to this AMAZING pizza place. They only have one
kind of pizza available each day, but holy cow, that pizza was amazing! On the
way home we drove through Berkley and the homes were adorable.
Wednesday
all the kids got to stay home and we all went to Muir Woods. It is such a
beautiful place and was amazing to walk around. The trees are so tall. I could
not see the tip when looking up at them. After we went to this delicious burger
place called Super Duper and it was super duper delicious!
On St.
Patrick’s day we relaxed again, most of the day. We did go a different park and
rode bikes. The thing we had the most fun with was the mud though. All the kids
were playing in it and it was honestly super fun. Later that day we went to the
grocery store and I helped make soup and ice cream bread. That was very fun,
but my favorite thing was my forest walk.
On Friday
we went to the jelly belly factory and then we got in and out and saw Zootopia.
That movie is surprisingly really scary for kids.
Saturday
was when we went to hang out in San Francisco! It was amazing. The weather was
awesome and we went down Lumbard street, visited this old place that had video
game from the 1900’s. For lunch we got sour dough bread with nutella and
Ghiredelli chocolate (super healthy, I know) at Ghiredelli square. After we
drove to Land’s end and went hiking. The view of the Golden Gate bridge and the
ocean was so beautiful. That was one of my favorite days. On my hike I got to
climb this tree and that was really fun. Later that day we went to Backer
beach. It was to cold to swim but we put our feet in and it was really fun to
play in the sand. That night my uncle bought sushi for my aunt and I and it was
so delicious!
That was
pretty much all the main points of my spring break and it was amazing! The
rating I would give it would be a 10 out of 10. It was so fantastic!

Short answer:
I do not think apple should be forced into making a back door into people's iPhones so they can get people's information. That is just not right. Nobody would feel safe. It is exactly like if someone was in your home all the time just watching and listening to what you are doing. If people don't agree with someone watching you in your house it is not okay to have someone looking at your information on your phone. If someone took my phone I would hate if they were looking at my information. I don't even have anything bad on my phone and I'm not even on it that much, but these people would be able to have access to my friends, family, activities I do and notes I write in my phone. There is a fine line when it comes to "national security" having access to your phone and it depends on the person. If the person has a record and is caught doing bad things national security should be able to have some information that they know of from there phone. They should not be able to be on it all the time just seeing what the person id doing though. I am not allowed to have a lot of social media on my phone I only have snapchat, so my parents do not check my phone that much. Every once in a while they will or if I leave it home they will, but that is just because they want to make sure nobody is cyber bulling me its not really because they are nervous I am doing something bad. I do think parents should check kids phones but they cannot be crazy about every little things. Obliviously kids are going to make mistakes and they have to keep that in mind. I think kids should be able to use electronics on there own in privately when they are 12 or 13. I believe this because at this age they need to start being able to use electronic devices in school, there parents know if they can trust them, an because they will be hanging out with friends and need to be able to contact parents and or other adults.
