to my friends in bluestar summer camp
i still remember that summer, when i left home alone for the first time. at bluestar summer camp, i met many wonderful campers and made friends with them. four years later, that happy time has already becomes an important part of my memory.
i remember we repeated a poem called “i can” every morning, in which a sentence impressed me very much: you never know until you try; and you never try unless you try hard. since then, this sentence has become a motto in my life and inspired me to follow my dreams.
at bluestar summer camp, we took part in many activities together: climbing mountains, walking on tightropes, organizing thanks-giving parties, debating at the campfire party, etc. when attending these activities, i learned a lot from my fellow campers and teachers and shared my values and opinions with them.
now i am a student in high school facing high pressure from my studies sometimes. at these times, i encourage myself by remembering my experiences at bluestar summer camp and telling myself, “i can make it”. i smile at the difficulties and meet them bravely. i believe my courage comes from bluestar summer camp.
thank you, bluestar summer camp and best wishes to all my friends!
