Student Perspectives: Most Memorable Moments of the Trip

"My most memorable moment was up in the Sky Deck (Sear's Tower).  It started off at 7:30 at night right when the place was closing. Everybody hopes was brought down, but was suddenly rose up when they decided to let us in. Everyone was excited, yet frightened about standing on the glass floor of the Sky Deck. We waited eagerly as we reached the elevator to reach the top floor. Everyone's ears started to pop on the elevator when we was going up. Then there we were on the 103rd floor, 16,000 feet in the air, on the top of the Sky Deck. We gazed around as we were fascinated about the view of Chicago and Illinois. Then we went to the gift shop and looked for merchandise. Some of us bought candy and went to the glass. Some of them were too scared of standing on the glass but the rest of us weren't scared. Mr. Claus and Mr. Abend tried to show off and embarrassed themselves."

"My most memorable part of today was when we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. It was so exciting. I really liked it when we first walked in the door and the big model airplanes were sitting there for us to see. I also like all the colors and the wind simulator. The wind simulator was very fun because you could change how fast the wind was going. The avalanche was very cool; I liked how the sand was changing color as it moved. Mr. Abend, our group leader, was like a kid in a candy store. He liked the set ups more than we did. But I really like how he knew everything about what we were doing and explained it in a way that we could understand. As you can see, I really liked going to the Museum and would really wanna go back someday."
