“Have fun on your field trip, Alma! You may want to pack an umbrella.” My dad’s last-minute advice repeated in my head. I wished I had taken his advice, but I never expected to encounter a drenching downpour of rain during the school hiking trip. Yet here I was, soaked to the bone and unable to see more than a few steps in front of me on the nature trail. For only a moment, I lost sight of the trail guide and my group, but it was enough time to make my stomach somersault with worry. Calmly, I stopped and peered intently through the wall of rain, straining to see someone ahead of me. I saw the orange vest of the guide. What a relief! I raced forward, and when I reached Josie in the back of the group, I grabbed her hand and vowed not to let go until the rain stopped.
