Summer of dreams comming to an end....
As time clicks away another chapter of my life is comming to an end... Summer 06' is comming to a close...
A lot of things have happend this summer!
woodmen camp was a time of growth: I realized who i am as a coworker.. how i would survive in the business world... yes even though its a summer camp and i was only a counselor in trainning...I realized how to work with people that i usually wouldn't get a long with.. .and the people i didn't think i would get along become some of the closest friends ever! I realized that i can sometimes be judgemental.... a habit that im slowly see disaper. I will always remember the task that we as CITs had to do.. cleaning bathroom's organizing a million papers! but it was funn and i loved every minute of it..i can't wait until next summer where my whole summer will be commited to camp!
Then came a time of spiritual growth: Stuebenville South! I have talked a lot about it in a previus post so i won't elaborate much on the subject! It has changed me sooo much as a person this summer and i can't wait to see what God has in plan for me in the future while he has me sooo fired and pumped up for His love!
Finally as the summer came to a close the real test of who i am as a person was shoved at me! the 06 mission trip was amazing! Being able to do Christ work and have friends and people i don't know doing it also was great! i made a lot of new friends that i will cherish forever... It was a real test because i was forced to work with people that i didn't get along with (junior high kids) the imaturity really brought me to an understanding of who i am. Friendships were tested as we were stuck in a train station for 17 hours and tested in greater depth when your stuck in a train for 30 hours! There was a lot of emotions that i felt during this trip.. some happy and some sad.. a lot of past memories came back that i wish would just go away... but as i look on it a couple of weeks after... i realize its a forgive and forget situation that will only heal in time.
well i have to say that summer 06 was def. a time of growing in many ways! I loved every minute and i hope to continue growing and learning new stuff with less than a week of summe left!
there will be many stressful times going into junior year.... the work the test the exams during midterms and finals... the many hours practicing speech pieces!
well....Good luck everyone this year in school i hope u acomplish many things and your dreams and goals are reached!
