This photograph was from when I went on a cruise some months ago. The photo was taken while the cruise ship was leaving port, setting sail to the beautiful ocean. Let me tell you, while on the ship I was terrified. It was my very first time on a cruise ship, and the weather wasn't the best at most times. The ship was swaying slowly side to side with the wind and rain, and that didn't help my mindset of going on a cruise in the first place.

My family and I were on the cruise ship for five days, and in those days, I've changed. I never wanted to go on a cruise in the first place because I was afraid to try something new from the places where we usually go, and in the end, it was a great experience.

My photo relates to the theme "Innovations" because it represents the change of my mindset by going on this trip. Trying new things and having a first time for stuff is a part of change. How would you know what something is or is like if you've never even tried it. Change is a part of life and is important. I hope this can inspire others to change and go with something different rather than stick to the same things you're usually used to.
