Learning and Growing...

My summer at Camp Bethel is over. It is such a bittersweet feeling. I have learned so much about interacting with people of all ages. And I have grown so much as a Christian, as a sister in Christ, and as a person who works with children. 

I have grown as an outdoorswoman.. hahaha =) I have seen snakes, bears, deer, frogs, turtles, and goodness knows how many bugs this summer. This has made me much more aware of God's creation and how intricate He made everything. 

I have grown and learned more about being the one in charge. Growing up in my family, I have been in charge of children a good percentage of the time. However this summer, being in charge 24/7 and dealing with a variety of weird and abnormal situations has made my mind work in a more creative way. I now feel like I can come up with a dozen different ways to entertain a group of kids for a few hours much more creatively and effectively than I could have a 3 months ago.
I could not and would not trade this summer's experience for anything.

Now, I am moving on to college prep and dance class planning. So many forms and phone calls and lots and lots of starting over. I'm ready though. Bring it on! =)
