Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!!

I apologize for not posting for awhile. July has been flying by for me!! So I guess I'll let you know what's been going on in my life. So for the first week in July I was able to go to a Christian camp called the Wilds. The Wilds offers amazing activities and sermons. One of the highlights for me at the Wilds was hiking to one of their waterfalls!!!

 I loved hiking to this waterfall and would recommend it to anyone who goes to the Wilds. Most people say at the wilds that it's the hardest hike, but personally, I didn't think it was that hard. Now the waterfall is actually much higher than how it looks in the picture. You also can swim in the part that is encircled by the waterfall! Do you see that one waterfall on the left? You can sit underneath it and let the water fall right on you! Let me tell you about freezing, but it was so refreshing after the hike.

I also just returned from another camp called NCASC (North Carolina Association of Student Councils). Now this is not a Christian camp, but it is so much fun! This camp helps with student councils in schools all around North Carolina and since I was elected as Secretary, I had the chance to go! You meet so many people it blows your mind! One of the highlights for me was the one-on-one conversation you had to do with a random person at camp. I chose to talk with a girl named Katie. The camp gave us 20 questions to finish in 20 minutes that we could use to help start a conversation such as, "What makes you happiest?" or "What was one of your best childhood memories?" Me and Katie had many of the same interests. It was crazy how I had learned so much about Katie in 20 minutes than I had learned about many people in say a couple months!!! So this just goes to show don't be afraid to talk to people and also be willing to listen. Sometimes people are just looking for someone to listen to them.

I'll try and keep ya' updated!!!
