Life is about uncertainty and finding yourself, building relationships that will last a life time and having fun. My time at Trail West fulfilled all of these aspects and opened the doors to a new chapter in my life.

College Essay Idea
Over the summer I worked at a Young Life Camp in Buena Vista colorado. I signed up for this position a few months before summer. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been to a Young Life camp before I was only familiar with YL because of my youth pastor in my community. They introduced me to Wyld Life, which is a division of YL but for middle schoolers, and asked me to be a WL leader throughout the school year. I became closer with my church community and with the middle schoolers that attended Wyld Life. As my junior year came to an end I made the final decision to work at Trail West which is the YL camp I had applied to. The time came for me to begin my journey of a life time. I had no idea what I was getting myself into all I could do was be myself and hope for the best. My time at Trail West was the most amazing and life changing experience i've ever had. I really found myself and realized how the smallest things can change peoples lives. Serving at this camp made my religious beliefs so much stronger and I met people who have changed my life.

Christian,
ReplyDeleteTrail West sounds like a terrific setting for an exploration of all sorts of ideas related to your faith, your growing confidence as a leader, the people who influenced your, etc. & etc. I'm anxious to read your first draft! Just make sure that you render at least some of your essay 'in scene'--that is, first place your reader in a concrete setting and let them witness some discrete action (all the other stuff--your exposition--should arise naturally out of this setting & action).
