Meaning in My Life
Something that I find meaningful in my life has been being a junior counselor at Phantom Lake YMCA Camp for the past 3 summers. As a camper I would always look up to my counselors, and I thought it would be really fun to do myself. My first year as an SDP (thats what the junior counselors are called) I had a first year camper that on one night when there was a huge thunderstorm, got really scared. I helped comfort him until it was over and he eventually fell asleep. At the end of that week, he told me he really wanted to come back the next year, and was looking forward to see me. This was the first time I really experienced and felt that my actions had an influence on campers, and how just like I looked up to my counselors, they looked up to me too.

I see that this is an experience that you hold dear, but how has it really been meaningful to you? How has it changed you? How has it altered your way of thinking? What would the course of your life be if this were non existent?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above.
ReplyDeleteI can tell that it was a good experience to you, but I may not follow how it's meaningful.
Sure, I can tell parts of it that may be, but that's just my perspective, as I haven't experienced what you're talking about so I can't say that it doesn't have meaning.
Perhaps you could relate it to your overall life more.
