Camp Cambock Reflection

When I went to my Boy Scout summer camp during the summer of 2014, I wanted to go home right when he arrived that the camp. The camp was dry, dusty, and reeked of old smelly socks. I really didn’t like the environment because it seemed to be a little unhealthy. When we were introduced to our counselor, Hipster Haya, I knew that this was going to be the best summer camp ever. He was one of the most chill counselors ever and he introduced us to our campsite. Right away, I started to feel uncomfortable when I saw what we were going to sleep in the because the tent flaps were opened and there was no safety from the outside critters. Even though I didn’t enjoy the camp, our counselors were developing new ways every day to increase

This week’s reflection focuses on Mental Disorders and the use of complementary and alternative medicine and ethnic minorities.

I remember once I got to the campsite and I went inside my little cabin, all I was thinking was, “Sarah, this is your senior year. You are at this camp for several reasons. One of them being that you need to make like a tree and leaf aka go make some friends because you are almost 18 and you need to grow up, get off your lazy butt, and go talk to people.” I hated the thought of going to talk to people because I thought they were gonna judge me for something, but you know what's crazy? They didn’t.

I have been in AVID for 4 years now, currently in my fourth year, I first found out about AVID from my older brother and cousins. My first year in AVID was in seventh grade, they mostly helped us organize our binders to keep our school work from getting misplaced and helped us organize our notes Cornell notes style. When started AVID in high school it prepared me a lot more for college. Since freshman year AVID has helped me make sure I take all the necessary classes I need for college, like the A-G requirements. AVID makes sure we are involved with school clubs and/or sports to helping sign up for the ACT and SAT. Because of AVID I have learned to be more organized not only in school but also in my daily life. I have learned to keep a daily

I became part of the AVID program in eighth grade, I had no clue what the program was about; most of the time we worked on subjects that we needed help on, learned how to be organized, and practiced public speaking by having small socratic seminars. In a way, the tactics that my eighth grade AVID teacher taught me helped me become successful for my college preparation it helped improve my grades in the classes that I was struggling in and pushed me to take challenging courses. In my sophomore, junior, and senior year of high school, I spent my time reviewing different schools around the state and out-of-the state browsing through the financial aid assistance, majors and minors, location, and diversity to choose from. Junior year was the best

Waking up 6:30 in the morning isn't common for me but July 28th was the day I was driving up to Athens for Dawg Camp. I was waiting for this day since I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to go to Dawg Camp Discovery thanks to the UGA Parents Leadership Council. Every UGA event I attended, convinced me that Dawg Camp was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out I was one of the recipient of the reward. Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our

William Shakespeare once said, “Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”. In the same way, people who go through life-changing events will either be overthrown by the world’s sin, or they will overcome it like a militia conquering another country. For example, in the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he states, “But now, I no longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man. I was nothing but ashes now, but I felt myself to be stronger than this Almighty to whom my life had been bound for so long…” (68). Henceforth, throughout the book Night, the main character, Elie, is changed drastically by his near-death experiences in Auschwitz.

Before choosing this topic I had to do lot of research on this. I took me a while to understand this topic. I had three options to choose from and all of them were current events, but college athletes getting paid or not was the one that make me feel more comfortable. After doing research on this topic for couple months, I feel great about the topic. It was more interesting when you put the topic in proposal form and describe the topic about what you want to research and how you’ll present it. Faux interview made the topic even more interesting for me because I interviewed a person and got their personal opinion. Yes, I feel committed to the topic because it’s one of the current event that’s breaking the news and it is catching lot of people’s

That summer I evolved from a shy, incapable child into a confident, outgoing leader. This was an unforgettable opportunity since I was able to gain the confidence to confront and handle different types of

Great post this week, I also enjoyed the Smith Hill forum because it allowed us to identify the emergency management problems that Smith Hill was facing. Overall, I enjoyed this course because I feel that even though this course was only eight weeks, I feel that I was able to learn a whole lot. My favorite part was the final assignment because I was able to put into practice everything that I learned throughout this course. Good luck in your academic

For the period of my last two years in primary school I attended the Kids Teaching Kids Conference. Where students of schools from all over Australia present, to other students and teachers, about an environmental issue in their local area. The first year I attended the conference, it was held in Adelaide whereas the second year I attended the conference it was located in Melbourne. The conference spanned over three days with different activities on during the day and a variety scientists and inspirational special guests to speak to everyone at night. Throughout my time at there, I was split up from the students who attended my school and was placed in a group with other students from different schools. In our new groups we completed bonding

The warm greetings of “Hey, it’s Cereal” or “Look, he’s here” lit up my mood. My motivations for doing the job had changed, for I focused more on giving them a great experience at the program. Although I had a pleasant time overall, there were problems I dealt with. When assemblies occurred, a camper by the name of Lauren would sometimes sit on my lap and play a game of chopsticks. A few times, I obliged to her and even accommodated to call her elf, a nickname she insisted me to call her by. Counselors were encouraged to connect to the campers, but had to keep a distance at the same time. As she became more attached to me, she invaded my personal space more often and became more of a handful. In an attempt to display myself as the person in charge, I tell elf in a stern voice, “I need you to ask me for permission more often. You can’t just sit on my lap and horseplay whenever you want to. We can still play When a camper fell off the monkey bars, the impact dislocated his elbow. I was unsure of what to do because I’ve never seen a dislocation happen and hesitated to help. The campers nearby all looked disgusted and kept staring as he cried, until I stepped up and escorted him to the

Mayville Middle School has provided me with many opportunities to be knowledgeable, self reliant and confident.  One opportunity that had a personal impact for me was the week at Camp Anokijig in sixth grade.  Camp Anokijig helped me learn and understand important life lessons such as, living without my parents, keeping a schedule, eating,  and  taking care of myself.

What you know and believe in can change at any moment. We see a first hand account of this in the book Night. Everyday we see the jews face the horrors of the Buna work camp, as a result of this we see most people change their ethics. As fight or flight instincts kick in, people abandon their family and friends to survive. Elie fights an internal battle to keep his father alive and strong during these tragedies. As others around him give in to the cruel punishment, Elie himself wants to drift towards the darkness. When people are faced with such cruel punishment everyone changes to some extent. For some the change is instant but for most the process of breaking their will is extensive.
