Beach Vacations
Personal memory by Arielle
2016 • Salisbury, MA, USA
I remember when I went to the beach with my family when I was 16. It was 4th of July so a ton of people were there. I saw many people throwing trash on the ground and even adults teaching their little 3-10 year old kids to just toss their trash anywhere. I was disgusted and that day threw out peoples trash for them at least 30 times. To this day, the once beautiful memory I have of that beach has diminished. especially considering how many new buildings and walkways have been built there since.
