PROBLEM: We went on a trip to south florida for fishing. Before this trip my mother told me not to take her car we did anyway. We broke down and thought we lost out puppy but we later found her in the car.

SOLUTION: We went on a fishing trip in south florida. My mother told me not to take her car as it wasn't ready for the road we didn't listen. Me and my boyfriend and my two brothers were all stuffed in this sedan with our new puppy. We made our way down the highway about 40 miles (It was a 180 mile trip) when my boyfriend points out the heat gauge is going up. Shortly after that the car begins to stall. This is where everything takes a turn. We pull off to the side of the highway in order to check the car. It turns out to be a radiator problem and with no towns for 20 miles in any direction were in trouble. So we are all sitting in the car trying to avoid the heat when we notice "has anyone see the puppy?". This is when things get even worse we couldn't find our puppy we thought she might of ran off into the everglades to the right of us so we start going in the mud looking around. We called her name shaked a box of treats and still can't find her. Then my brother in the car calls us all over and low and behold there's the puppy. She was hiding in between the seats and the trunk to stay cool and somehow she found her way in a spot where none of us could see her! This brings up our moral while we wait for triple a that my grandma had called for us. In the end we never did get to go on that trip with the puppy but we all made it out okay and for what it was it's a memorable little road trip for us.

PROBLEM: One day, I saw a man sitting alone crying on the side of the street. He was homeless and I had found out that he was deathly ill. I sat beside him and talk to him and tried to make him feel better.

SOLUTION: It was really cold today, and it just felt like one of those days when you just seem low key and low energy. I knew I would have to go to work but I wanted to stay at home and drink hot chocolate while watching Netflix. It was nearly 7:30 and I decided to get on my was to work. I had bundled up so that I knew I would be warm enough. I decided to make the best of the weather and make the brisk walk to work that day. It was not to far into my walk when I finally hit the main street I came across a man that I had seen before but I had never really talked to. He was a homeless guy that I would see rummaging every now and then in the garbage. On this day, he happened to be in my path and I just happened to ask him if he was okay. I guess he must have felt something because he immediately began to cry and pour out his heart about his condition. I could feel he needed someone so I sat and listened to him for a while. I could tell it really helped him to get through that moment. It was really fulfilling for me too. I was able to help someone that really needed me. I wanted to tell him that he could come talk to me anytime, but he ran off too fast. It was nevertheless memorable to me.

PROBLEM: It was my sisters 20th birthday, so the family planned a surprise trip to the zoo for her. We got to see a bunch of cool animals, go out to eat, and eat some cake as well.

SOLUTION:
Dear Diary, Today is my sisters 20th birthday. My mom actually told me what we were doing earlier this week. She decided that the whole family is going to go to the local zoo. After the zoo, we are going to go get something to eat at a kind of nice restaurant nearby. This is all going to be a surprise to my sister since it is her birthday. We got a slow start today, as usual. After we finally made it out of the house, we all got into the families minivan. We then began our trip to the zoo. We finally arrived. It was a hot sunny day. It was a perfect day for the zoo. We got to see all cool types of animals. I think my favorite was the monkeys. One of them had a back injury for some reason, so it was secluded from the others while it healed. The penguins were pretty neat too. After we had finished seeing everything the zoo had to offer, we got back into the minivan and departed for the restaurant we were going to. I think everyone was exhausted by time we got to the restaurant from walking around the zoo all day in the hot sun. I didn't really like the place we went to eat, because the music was just a little to loud. The food was pretty decent at least. We paid the bill and headed home to sing happy birthday to my sister and eat cake. This was probably my favorite part, because I could finally sit down and relax.
