Back in high school I worked at a summer camp, not as a counselor, but a counselor’s first mate of sorts. After my term there, I was offered a position as counselor since I would be in college soon (a min age requirement), but I never took them up on it.
Looking back, it was one of the highlights of all my summers. In a camp atmosphere you form such strong bonds with a diverse set of people. You’re all in the same experience together, working together, having fun together and away from cell phones, tvs, shopping, and the internet.
I believe this goal is possible for me, if I do it as an interlude between jobs. I will not be at my current job forever, and I could quit right before the summertime and resume normal employment at a different company in the fall.
