I am not usually one to cry, but somehow on speech nights at keeners my coaches and (second) parents always manage to move me to tears. Stevo's stories always seem to make me feel good about my weirdness and it's pretty easy to laugh at his own. Anna has a way of putting life into perspective in a way that makes it possible to follow your passions and live your dreams. They are the true image of success, success through simple, pure happiness, they are my idols and my role models and probably the coolest people I will ever meet. Just being here has truly changed my life and way of thinking. At this ''summer camp'' you truly come back with more than just your sunburn, you come back with a new, brighter outlook on life and on how to treat others.
I feel so at home here... those dirty keeners are really starting to feel like family. And I only have one week left. In one week I have to leave paradise and go back to normal life, back to school, land of fake friendships and popularity based on belongings and appearance. As Carolin would certainly say, my feelings could only be described as ''sappy'' (a combination of sad and happy).
