hi. The long excrutiating car ride was better once we jammed out to Aaron Carter and Backstreet Boys. Once we got here, we soon realizezed that the food is nice and cold, but thats what the super walmart is for. Buying mac n' cheese and bagel bites made everything okay. Besides the cold food, everyone is very "modest" here, well not the kids just the crazy camp directors. Also, missing the Harry Potter premiere and lil wayne concert was kind of a downer. Although missing those events were kind of disappointing, its great to know that we are doing something good for someone else rather then for ourselves. In a way it is for ourselves. We get a new prospective on life. I thought that everyone living in these trailer parks would be unfriendly and maybe even rude but they truly aren't. Everyone that we are working for has been amazingly greatful, kind, and even generous. One girl that really caught my attention was Ashley.She is 12 years old and is pretty, smart, and greatful. She is always smiling and is very willing to talk to us. The first day we saw her, she was in her window looking at. I peered behind her and i noticed the clutter around her, and the crammed bedroom space that she shares with her 15 year old brother. Although her living conditions, she still was smiling and very welcoming. She showed us her cats, Angel.and Tiger. I did not meet her mother but i breifly met her brother who was also very kind. I'm so happy we met them, they made ME smile. Me and some other girls were talking about sending a carepackage with candy, clothes, and cute things that they may need like hair brushes and flip flops. I'm so glad i met these girls they were amazing to talk to and I wouldn't change anything, EVEN for Harry Potter. kay bye!
