Fears: failure
Annoyances: people with really long fingernails, when someone puts their
hair in a ponytail but misses a chunk and it’s just left there (weird I know),
close-minded people
Accomplishments: being a varsity soccer and tennis player
Confusions: politics in general just really confuse me
Sorrows: knowing my sister is going to college next year and ill be all
alone
Dreams: travel the world, get married/have kids, have a job I love
Idiosyncrasies: my left thumb is significantly shorter than my right one
Risks: cliff-jumping from 30 rocks in Lake Powell
Beloved Possessions: my stuffed dog Scooter, my real dogs, my family/friends,
my tie from summer camp
Problems: worrying too much
One of my most beloved possessions is my tie
from summer camp. I’ve attended Camp Nakanawa almost every summer since I was 9.
It’s an all girls summer camp in a really, really small town in Tennessee, so I
go 4 whole weeks without seeing a boy besides the old guy who owns/runs the
camp. On your first night of your first summer at Nakanawa you draw to become a
member of one of two teams, Amazons or Valkyries. I’m a Valkyrie and we have
blue ties. While the actual tie is one of my favorite possessions, the meaning
behind it is what makes it most important. Being a Valkyrie or an Amazon is a
really special thing and everyone at camp values this tradition. It’s hard to
explain but it makes sense to everyone who goes to camp there. If I have a
daughter, I’ll definitely send her to Nakanawa and she’ll be a Valkyrie like me
and I’ll pass my tie down to her for her to wear.
