So there is a teeny, tiny, chance I might be returning to my all time favorite place this summer. CAMP! I have my interview today and I am literally so nervous. I got a little choked up even writing my application late Monday night. This paragraph was my absolute gold:
"Ever since my JC summer I have
dreamed of returning to Hayward. My passion for camp is apparent to anyone that
knows me. In the past few years I have encouraged many of my close family
friends and younger cousins to attend the camp that has changed my life so
drastically. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them develop a love for camp
that is just as strong as mine. I know that my enthusiasm and passion for camp
will show every single day that I am there. With this energy I hope to inspire
campers and staff alike to enjoy their summer to it’s fullest. No matter what
task I am doing, whether it be as exciting as pontoon jumping or as seemingly
mundane as camp clean-up, I will devote my positive attitude toward making it
as fun as possible for all around me. In all honesty, my experiences at Camp
Hayward have influenced so much of my life, including my decision to attend
Syracuse University and my decision to join Phi Sigma Sigma. The lifelong
friendships I have made at Camp Hayward have provided me with an unbreakable
support system the past few years and I would love to again be a part of an
organization that would foster these relationships in future generations of
campers."
Tess asked me how long that took to write and I laughed and said only a minute. It's straight from the heart!
