Write about a time where you didn't want do sometime or go somewhere because you had a negative outlook on it but turns out it gave you some perspective or changed your life in some way.

This past summer I was signed up to go to Camp Ozark for my seventh year in a row. I was not looking forward to it because I was missing two weeks of a dance intensive that I wanted to be apart of. I had already been dancing the whole summer and by this time I didn't want to leave. I even cried when I left the studio because I didn't want to miss out. I put so much pressure on myself, telling myself that I needed to stay and that camp didn't matter anymore. I knew I loved camp I just wasn't feeling it that year at all. 

Once I arrived at camp my mood changed and I was glad I was there. This past year was when everything at camp just clicked. I had an amazing cabin, had great counselors, and I found God. When camp was over, I cried because I didn't want to leave. When I was leaving camp, I found it ironic that I didn't want to leave because I loved it so much. Of course though, I can't go this year for dance and I am so mad about it. This experience has shown me to never take things for granite because they can easily being taken away in a blink of an eye.
