During the summer‚ I go to Girl Scout camp and work as a counselor-in-training. We shadow counselors‚ teach little girls how to perform flag‚ organize and perform the weekly campfire‚ and lead camp songs‚ among other things. When I was younger‚ my favorite part of camp was none of those things. Instead‚ it was the interactions with the older girls and counselors-- I wanted to be just like them. I followed them around and managed the younger girls in an attempt to seem responsible and told them proudly

I approach orientation I like to look at the different factors that are involved. Being in the ELPS 350 class and working as a D-Staff allowed me to do that.

I have never thought of it either until I walked into a soup kitchen and seen all of these people who depended on others to feed them and their families because they could no longer do so.

This isn’t quite as drastic of a change as in Lost in Translation‚ but many of the things Eva experienced I can relate with even if I just crossed numerous state line
