Fat Camp How many people wish to go back to when they were young? One can only imagine, but I cannot say the sam . For being a kid with not a lot of responsibility, it felt like the world cam crashing down like a rabbit under a landslide. With bullies and family issues, my weight was on top of my list of problems. By putting myself through “ Fat Camp”, it has shaped the person you see now. The first light of my happy meal and junk food addiction started around 5th grade. By 6th grade, I put on sixty pounds weighing around 190 pounds at twelve years old. The faces I saw on people who walked by was those you see at your local zoo. With this came the taken opportunity of making someone feel like they don’t belong. One can only imagin the amount

The momentary regret I had when I chose the intermediate program surely vanished shortly afterwards. For the intermediate program consisted of the hardest journey than any of the others. On an average day, one can expect to wake up to the detectable sound from the disillusioned trumpet at 5:35 a.m. I had to be on the running trach at 5:35 a.m. Those ten minutes proved to be the most blissful and serenity oriented moment of my days there.

I appreciate so much I've never would have though about and would've taken for granted. Life, nature, shelter, or even a single dollar. for all these I cherish every day. The reincarnation of my mind, bod, and spirit has shaped me the way I've wanted it and now I stand here with self-love and love for
