Other than my family, I feel the most connected to the amazing people that I work with during the summer at Camp Bimini. I have been going to Camp Bimini as a camper since I was five and over the last two years I have been able to work there as a counselor, kitchen assistant and a floater. This connection with these people is very important to me as they are like a second family to me. While you are at camp, no one cares what you look like, who you hangout with or how much money your family has. Everyone is friends and accepts each other for who they are. Over the last two years I have become closer and closer with the Bimini family and it has already had a large impact on my life. As of right now, it has given me the confidence to speak in front of a large group of people, shown me how to deal with different types of children and given me a more positive out look on life. In the future, I know that I will continue learning from the campers that I meet and the other staff members that I am lucky enough to work with. I wouldn't even be able to guess what I may learn in the future as I know every time I go there I am blown away by the caring, loving sense of family.
