Hard Work Pays Off (more often than not)

 Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.

This past week at school was incredible. It was transformative, inspirational, heartrending, and eye-opening. It was the culmination of everything I have been striving towards in terms of learning about how to better interact with people.
First and foremost though, none of the experiences I had could have been possible without hard work. My day started at 6 am, and ended sometime around 4:30 pm. Of course there were hours upon hours spent bonding with the people I worked with, so by the time we finished playing games, talking, or sharing stories, it was midnight or later, and we'd have to be up early again to do it all over.It was a lot of work for me as an individual to want to put myself out there every time, and talk to people I didn't know on a deeper level than I'm used to.
I wouldn't change it though. I'd say it was all worth it, and that hard work really payed off there.

As for my friends at home, well, let's just say we'd need more than a week to get things sorted out.

In other news, I start my new job tomorrow: day camp counselor. I can't wait to see what sort of experiences are in store for me.
