The Field Trip: A True Story

Yesterday, on March 7, 2025, I knew I had a dental appointment. I also knew that my mom had a surprise for me after the dental appointment. I was not expecting this “surprise” to have three parts. For the first part, we went to a new Cuban food truck called “Guajiros”. We got a Cuban sandwich, plantains, and a guava and cream cheese pastry. The Cuban was really good, with a lot of meat and cheese and pickles, it was awesome. The plantains were really good, and it tasted very authentic. The pastry did have a lot of bread, and I couldn’t taste the filling at first, but when I did, it was a match made in heaven. Overall, it was 5/5 and I would love to go there again.

After we finished eating, my mom took me to Target. Now, I thought this was a little random, but I got some sour gummy worms and an energy drink. I had no clue why my mom would let me choose a candy bag and an energy drink ( I have enough energy WITHOUT the drink), and afterward, she said that we were going to see a movie. I was ecstatic when I heard this, and it was a movie I had been wanting to see for a while. Fortunately, it was not even a mile away. So I hurried to make sure I had everything and was ready, then I really wanted to run to the car, but I had bags in my hands, so I didn’t. But I was not ready for how that movie would inspire me.

Turns out, we were watching a new movie called “Rule Breakers”. From the ads to the trailer, I knew I wanted to watch it. The movie was a true story about a group of girls from Afghanistan who wanted to learn about computers and robots, but only men could. They decided that they were going to push their limits, and they succeeded. After the movie was over, all the gears in my head were turning. I was thinking “This is my way to being an astronaut, engineering is how I will get into space.” So I talked to my parents about it, and they said we would take it one step at a time, but they were going to try this out. Even though the gears are still turning in my head, and even though we haven’t got a chance to make progress, it’s only been a day.

Overall, this was the best field trip so far, and I am so glad I got spend time with my mom. I hope we can do this again, and feel free to share this link! I will be posting every Saturday at 1:30.
