I don’t like to cry in front of people. However this week has been an emotional one. It seems like everyday I’ve have shed a few tears and my guard goes down a little more. As I reflect on the week I think about the games we played: twister, concentration, Simon says, the vocab we taught: transportation, family, animals, body parts, and the songs we have learned. I often think “am I really making a difference” will the kids remember me when I leave?” Today as I say goodbye I know without a doubt that I am and they will. I see the love in their eyes, in their smile, and I can feel it in their hugs. I never knew I could have such a strong connection with a 10 year old. this whole time while I was worrying if I was making a difference in their life they were making a difference in mine. Because of day camp I have learned what it means to love better. Thank you day camp kids and counselors for showing me how to have better and deeper relationships with others. As much as I was teaching you, you have taught me so much more.
