This past June, I decided this would be my test, I would work with kids all summer. So, I went through all the motions and now here I am. A camp counselor with little to no experience working with vast amounts of kids.

Now, don't get me wrong I have done photo shoots with kids of varying ages and ethnicities, but this time I am in their space almost 24/7. More importantly...they are in my space almost 24/7.

I originally started my college career with the goal of becoming a teacher, so, coming back to working with kids isn't far off from what I've always been interested in doing. It is, however, very strange now that I've been focused on my creative work for the past few months/years.

This whole experience is helping me determine if I truly want to get into teaching later down the road, or even sooner (in another country). But sometimes, I feel like I shouldn't have been given this responsibility.

I constantly feel like I am still learning and growing myself. Especially when being in charge of or working with tough people has always been trying for me. I'm still at the point where I'm deciding to dive into the next big thing in my life, but I have no idea which direction these experiences are leading me in.

I also am caught between feeling like I'm too old for certain things (age wise), and that my life is still just beginning. So, there's that mental maze.

I have until about mid-August to make a life-altering move, so as time ticks down this next month and a half will be very interesting.
