As soon as the summer of 2015 ended‚ I was living in Colombia. I was used to spending summer with my family and friends in Colombia or traveling to the US to play golf tournaments or golf camps. But that summer was different. My parents told me I was spending the summer at USF in Tampa at “SuperCamp”. I read all about it on the internet and all it said was that it was a fun academic camp.

I am not Mormon I’m not religious at all actually. I am agnostic so I don’t think entirely that the Mormon religion is wrong. I just don’t know. My whole life for some reason I just thought that all people were the same in the way of not not liking people or judging them until you know them no matter there life style. At least

The Life of a Substandard Perfectionist When I do something extremely impulsive and wrong‚ what do I feel? Deep down inside‚ I know what I am doing is unacceptable‚ but my conscience lacks consistency in those moments. All my pain is internalized until I release it in a rush of instability and loneliness. I never heard a song that described the emotions I felt when I made those spontaneous decisions until a couple days ago in a dimly lit computer room. I was sitting in a black uncomfortable chair
