9. Many people just go to the beach to do basically nothing I love that feeling of just sitting there with no worries and watching the waves roll in If I get too hot from the sun and heat, I just go run in the water to cool off Normally in the summer I am always tired from being so busy, so I often get a good nap in right on the beach It’s nice to just on the beach and chill James Robertson

10. I will be spending more and more time at Virginia Beach as I get older It’s like a home away from home for me One day I hope to own a beach house either at Virginia Beach possibly at North End or at some other beach James Robertson

11. I liked the assignment a lot, but it was hard to incorporate some of the requirements into the topic such as, the graph and SmartArt. I think having your favorite place as the topic was a great idea considering everyone is reluctant to talk about their favorite place. I didn’t use any new James Robertson
