Today is the day. I am headed off to a camp led by Washington himself. I have not yet told my parents what I am doing, they believe I am still attending college. I may have to tell them eventually, for this camp is held in South Carolina. Tomorrow comes another adventure, and I can not wait to see where I can go in life.
--------------------------------------
I have heard multiple stories about this camp. Some say you may go insane, some say you may not make it out alive. I am not listening to them. I will prove them wrong. I will show my strength and make myself the best there ever was.
There are said to be a total of 65 people by the time we get there. My travel group has around 10. Some may not even make it to the camp alive, but for those who do, greatness lies ahead.
I must go finish packing and alert my parents I am leaving now, but I'll write back on the bus there.
------------------------------------
I am currently on my way, with a little less luggage then I anticipated. My parents did not take the news well and convinced me to give them something to remember me by. What do they think will possibly happen at this camp? That is beyond the point, this is going to define who I am!
They said this journey would take a few hours, so I am using this as one way to pass time, unless it slows me down. I am in one of the last groups estimated to arrive, so I wonder who I will meet when I get there! They are picking up the pace now, for they need as many people they can get as soon as possible.
-------------------------------------
I was unable to continue this during our march here, however I can see the camp in the distance, all the tents, the smoke from their nightly campfire. I see so many people that I will possibly meet soon. The sun is falling so I am afraid I may have to wait to continue the updates, however, that does not mean I will not write more tomorrow!
