Personal Narative
I went to camp for the first time last summer to get away from the pressures of home and school. Camp was a month long, I have never been away from my parents more than a week. I was very anxious. I had no idea what situations to expect and how I would handle them. I started to really wonder about my life. The way it was going was not the best for me. I can "run away" from my reality, but I know that I was going to have to come back to it in a month. The way I treat people was total opposite from how I treated my parents. What my friends were capable of doing was not a bit close to what my parents would let me do, my parents are very narrow minded. My grandparents were even more severe, my culture is different from my friends and it's hard for me to understand and accept it. What my parents expect from me is much higher then what other parents require from kids my age. I have more responsibilities at home and of course I have school responsibilities to go along with it as well. Since my parents didn't let me do the things I insisted to do, I became quite rebellious. I would answer back to them, not pay attention and not do the things they wanted me to.

Before going to camp fighting with my parents was be something I did regularly. Everything little thing anyone would do, got to be so aggravating. Two weeks were nearly over and our parents were going to come visit us in a day or two. At this time we were all ready to kill each other. I then left the room and wanted to be alone. Changing was not an easy process that happens from one day to the next. I was not the only one with these problems. Lauren was about to end the fight, which would have been the right thing to do. After one week, camp was not great anymore, all of my bunk mates felt the same way. We really started having problems from the first day of camp. I came up to them and started to hear what they were saying, since I was on lauren's side, I yelled at Jenna "What is wrong with you!" "You can't yell at me like that, you don't know who I am!" said Jenna Then I said "I don't care who you are" "I can make your life miserable" she said. I remember an argument that Jenna had with Lauren, they were yelling at each other and it only got worse by the second. Even though we weren't on everyone good's side I still cared for her. The first day of camp she told the counselor "If you don't change me from this bunk I'll hate you" Jody just said "For saying that to me I won't change you from the bunk you want" "It doesn't matter what you say to me because no matter what I will get what I want.
