How I did it: But it's always worth it. See this girl?

Her name is Taylor. She was one of the many campers I had throughout the summer and lives I had the opportunity to touch. This girl is one who is not afraid to be herself but is criticized for it and has even been beaten up over it. During her week in my cabin, the teasing didn't stop. Some boys in other cabins teased her, some girls in other cabins did, and even in my own. I took some time with her, and with the help of other counselors (the ones in charged of the campers that teased her) we got things settled. She finished the week even more high-spirited than when she came in, which really says a lot because she was high-spirited to begin with. Wait there's more the the happy ending! By the end of the week the campers in my cabin who were teasing her were defending her from other cabins. I'll have to tell some more stories about my summer soon.
