camp resolutions.
I'm not sure if I can make myself do a whole camp-run-down thing... it's just so hard to express everything I felt that week in just words, all the people I met in just words, all the things we did in just words. I could try, but everything we experienced is so intangible, and even if I explain it... I don't know. It's not the same, I guess.
Anyway. Here are a few resolutions I'm taking with me from camp:
1) Waking up early to squeeze as much out of a day as is possible.
2) Getting more involved in community service and volunteering.
3) Making sure everything I do has purpose and meaning.
4) "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who come alive." - Howard Thurman
5) Remaining in the same mindset as I was in camp.
6) Continuing to be a "stuco kid."
7) Keeping a positive, optimistic attitude, and trying to smile as much as possible.

"The people at camp are the role models of society - the genuinely good people. The people who wave to strangers on park benches and always say thank you to bus drivers and garbage men and flight attendants; who have passions and aspirations and want to change the world, or at least a small part of it. The ones who love deeply and honestly; who put their hearts into everything they do, who you can't help but like even after the stories of Friday night's party.
I can honestly say I grew so much as a person, that I'm less selfish and better prepared to take on the world. My goals seem tangible, intentional, and that I'm able to accomplish them."
