bad day

well today was kind of a bad day. I'm not feeling the best and I had to drop my car off at the service station today so we'll see what happens with that. I also found out today that I didn't make it back into the top band this year, which I was kind of expecting since we have a lot of talented freshmen this year, but it still sucks. On the bright side I found out that Benjamin the orchestra director still wants me to be in the top orchestra so that will be fun.

Here again

Wow its been a long time but im really gonna try and keep things updated on here this year. Camp this summer was so much fun. I thank thank everyone there enough for the experience that they gave me. Working with the kids from this camp has also caused me to mature a lot and has greatly effected my view on inner city juveniles. Ill share the story of one of my best campers. Cody was an 8 year old kid in my teepee week 2. This kid has been dealt one of the worst hands in life imagineable. Two years ago he was living in California with his biological father after his mother died. His father has since been convicted of drug charges and sent to prison for no less than 20 years. Cody started smoking and drinking at age 7. Now that he has moved in with his aunt and uncle he has quit drinking and smoking, this kid has more reason than anyone i have ever met to be mad at God and the world and yet he was one of my most well behaved and positively motivated campers this summer. ITs kids like him that makes me so excited to be back next summer. Thats all for now I will post again soon.
