sports camps.

   My FAVORITE job finally ended. Literally crying. I was so heart broken and upset when I left work for the last time. This Summer I worked at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah as a sports camp counselor along with 200 young adults my age. This job requires us to entertain the kids when they're not at practice and to escort them EVERYWHERE. Wake them up for breakfast, take them to practice, pick them up from practice, take them to dinner, take them back to practice or counselor time, and then nightly activities. Then at night we give a devotional and had lights out.

  Through this job I met some of the most amazing people. I met 90 girls who are all aspiring athletes and all trying to make it big. Their stories were inspirational and I've never learned so much from people in such a short amount of time. My girls looked up to me as their role model, and so it put a lot of pressure to be the best I could around them. These girls taught me it's ok to have fun in stressful situations, it's hard to be patient, and it's the biggest blessing to be their adopted mother for the week!

  I also met some counselors that CHANGED my life. I was really panicking about serving a mission and I just needed help and/or advice and the counselors had my back. I had just had surgery when I came into this job on my shoulder, and I couldn't do much. I was in a lot of pain, but they were there for me even when I didn't know who they were. From volleyball to field games to the dance to 7 peaks, these counselors are my FAVORITE people. None of us really knew each other before coming into this job, but I can honestly say I think I met some people that I will remember forever. They have helped me so much with mission prep, dating advice, school, and so much more, I don't know if I'll ever be able to repay them. I love those counselors so much.

   Sports camps was literally the BEST job I've ever had, and I can't even begin to describe how sad I am that this summer job is over. I truly was blessed with the best and loved every minute of it. (even when I had to go to the talent show 5 times in a row) I love the girls I had (even if they said they hated me one week) and I'll never forget this experience.
