Just arrived back from camp everytown. I must say that the experience was extraordinary. Now that I'm home though, I feel like a big part of me is gone. Mostly because my second family is now going back to their daily individual lives. It's heart breaking, but I also feel blessed to have been able to meet everyone who went by fate. I believe fate brought us all together so that we were one big close family. I will definitely remember the activities and the emotionally intense discussions during these past 3 - 4 days. It also makes me feel more fortunate, now that my eyes are opened to these problems in the outside world that I haven't noticed before. I will definitely learn and change from this, knowing that everything we discussed, ties in with high school and the world. I realized that all of us are capable of doing something about this mess in our society. I will truly miss the best and most beautiful people I began to love ever since we got off the bus on day 1. The campfires and the happiness made me glow and feel more confident in situations like discussions. And I will never forget those skits that the Asian America culture group had made up because those memories will forever be hilarious. I feel like a whole different person, knowing that I am a leader. Knowing that I can make a change and that I have friends who are the same with different stories. I also hope to remember that all of us have stories behind our reflection, our appearance.
We are all presents waiting to be unwrapped. - Erica
