The end of a Greene summer

If you were to tell me four days ago that I, and twelve other people, would be getting rained on the first day of camp — and have a bond over that — I would’ve brushed you off. But now I can’t do that because it really did happen, and it sure was an experience.

This camp had pushed me to grow in ways I didn’t think I would achieve in a long time and although I haven’t 100% broken out of my shell yet, I still appreciate the camp for putting me out there, whether it was through podcasting, recording, or networking and working with others. I believe that I was able to be more open to communication and working together with other people.

I am really thankful for this program not only for the practical skills that I have gained for the field of journalism but a potential career path and experience for myself and what I could really do with my life and future with an apperception at the fact that not many kids my age get the privilege to experience a potential career field especially at my age where picking your career or pressure to have at least some idea for what you wanna do.

Lastly, I loved the social experience, comfort, and experimentation that I was able to gain through this program. Although I may not be as open or extroverted as I thought I would get by the end of the program, I still am grateful to the fact that I have a newfound perspective on working with, speaking to, and being open to other people. And I really, ultra-appreciate everyone, especially my fellow classmates, for gifting me with such an unforgettable growing experience.
