Story about the girl at computer 16

Egypt is a place that this girl very much likes to visit. There are many things that she could do when she chooses to go out to this country since it is so far different than the United States of America, but the thing that she likes to do most of all is visit her family that lives out there. Things like staying home and spending time with all of them is what she really goes for. Until she gets to leave for Egypt this summer, she spends time at home or with friends most of her time. Working part time at Red lobster for a job during the school year, with co-workers that are apparently quite nice according to her. Before she leaves, she is getting to go to soundset for a friend’s birthday even though the music is not something particularly enjoyable to her ears, but that’s what friends are for. After all of these magnificent things it is now time to depart on her journey to Egypt that she goes on every year for a long time in summer while everyone else is back home with friends. She gets to see all the different environmental things and eat other foods we don’t eat here. Egypt #1
