On the morning of the field trip,my mother decided to drop off my sister and I in the school parking lot.This was because I felt too sleepy to drive.When we got there,we waited for about twenty minutes until we actually got on the bus.My sister and I were surprised at how few people went on the field trip with us.There were only about twelve or thirteen students that went on the trip.I guess that it was because people did not want to help or did not want to wake up early.The bus ride to the church at Garden Grove took about thirty minutes.When we got to the church,we had to go inside the gym.Inside,there were chairs lined up along the outside of the big basketball court.The people were sitting in those chairs,patiently waiting for the time when they would receive free food.My sister and I went outside the church to help unload the food from the truck to the table.All I saw were dry foods like yams,potatoes,onions,canned foods,and vegetables.After we finished unloading the food,we had to decide what food we wanted to unpack and place in the plastic bags to give to each family.My sister and I decided to do the yams.We had to put five yams in each plastic bag.I believe it took us about an hour and a half to finish putting the yams in the plastic bags.After that,the people started to get in line to get the free food.It was no surprise to me the amount of people who took advantage of getting food,especially in this recession period.At first,I wanted to be the person who gave the bags with yams to the families,but there was already a person doing that.My sister and I then decided that we had to be the helpers.We would help the people carry their food boxes.Most of the students from Cerritos College were in line to be the helpers.My sister and I did not really want to do it,so we decided to stand in the back of the line.About forty-five minutes had passed and we did not end up helping because other people were always volunteering to go up instead.At the end,we did not have to do it at all.I felt kind of disappointed that I did not get to help as much as I could have.I wanted to come into contact with the people I was helping.I would have liked to not be sitting around so long and do more tasks for the church that was helping the people.I thought to myself that next time,I would try to help them more.We left the church around 11:30 AM to go to Tasty Goody Chinese Food.When we got there,I ordered fried chicken wings and spicy spare ribs to go.My sister ordered fried chicken wings and fried rice.I did not want to pay extra for the rice,so I decided that I would eat my food at home.It was because I already had rice at home.Because of that,I decided to go get a Venti Double Cholately Chip Frappuccino Blend Crème drink at a nearby Starbucks.My sister also wanted a Grande Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino® Blended Crème.After about forty-five minutes,we got on the bus and headed back to school.I called my mother to pick us up a little bit late,so she came at the time that we were taking a group picture.At first,I thought that we might have to wait for her a little bit longer,but it was great that she came at the right time.Overall,I think that the trip was okay.
