end of summer nostalgia...

Tomorrow ends our Resident camp season. to most of you this is just another boring detail of a work clad blog scene. for me, this is a sense of completion, acheivement, sadness, happiness, insecurity, confidence... many many things. my first summer completed as a director. people of all ages that believed in me to lead them through an experience of changing peoples life, giving another human being a chance in a world that looks the other way. this is where my passion comes from. the opportunity to break down barriers and give light to the beauty of pure human nature, which I believe, in my heart, is to help another person. I have prepared every detail of a banquet to celebrate the success of a fantastic summer. a summer in which we served more people than in years past, we received more positve feedback, and most importantly, touched, even changed the lives of over 1300 Iowans with disabilities. I feel so proud to have this job. it is the most challanging thing I have ever done in my life, and sometimes a week seems that it may never end, but truth be told, I would not prefer it any other way. I know I am here for a reason, I know that these people need me, and to feel needed and appreciated is a greater feeling that one may ever know.


ahhhh.... I'm crying- need to go.

love to all.
