Detective Comics

The next day, we went on a special tour of the DC studio. We met with the artists and script writers for DC Superhero Girls who helped us improve our skills and make new comics. Then we got to take a top-secret tour of the facilities. We saw the first-ever DC comics ever printed and learned about the up and coming films. Our tour ended with us receiving as many free comics as we could carry! Next, we ate by the Friends fountain, while we got to interview Sara Sherman, who has aided in casting for Gravity Falls, Star Versus the Forces of Evil, and DC Superhero Girls. Then we went to the recording studio where voice actors film for their roles. We each took our turns voicing a character from DC Superhero Girls. I got to voice Batgirl and in a few weeks, Ms. Sherman will send us a copy of the actual TV show with our voice acting. We then had free time, so my mom and I headed to Universal Studios where we went shopping at the City Walk. My nerdy side got to come out as I went to the Harry Potter shop. I then went to It’s Sugar where I got to step into Hawkins County from Stranger Things. Finally, I tried bubble tea for the first time–and the last.

Reason to Celebrate

The final day was spent learning about making an actual business. We all made our own cookie that we had to try and sell to potential investors. We even made packaging for the cookies and decided on the target audience. Next, we headed to our photoshoots and interviews where we shared about our time in Girl Scouts and the trip we just took. We then had a few hours off to get ready for our red carpet awards night. Mackenzie Hacensac from This Is Us gave out the awards and then we all took pictures and shared our favorite parts of the trip.

The Adventure of a Lifetime

We all had our breakfasts and went our separate ways the next morning. The plane ride was spent mainly with me and my mom eating those delicious Biscoff cookies and watching Stranger Things season 2. I miss all my new 23 friends, and all the excitement that comes with just being there in California.
