I Really Hate Camping

I woke up, sat up, and rubbed my eyes. I saw so much light coming from the windows. I was confused because I didn’t remember seeing light when I was falling asleep. It had been completely dark when I fell asleep. When I got out the truck, I realized the truck was parked behind a Waffle House.

It all started when my parents planned a trip to go camping at High Falls State Park for fall break in 2013. The whole family had to go, including myself. We’re a big family of seven, my mom, my dad, myself, and my four little brothers, Mohammed, Mahmoud, Ahmad, and Walid. I don’t really like camping, because I hate being outdoors.

He went and got himself some strawberry waffles. I was still asleep and I started to feel thirsty, so I woke up to go get some water. I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and I saw so much light coming from the windows. I was confused, because I didn’t remember seeing light when I was falling asleep. It was completely dark when I fell asleep. When I got out of the truck, I realized the truck was parked behind a Waffle House. I called my mom and she didn’t pick up. I called my dad and he didn’t pick up, either. While I was trying to call them again, I saw a man walk to the truck with the keys in his hand and drive off with the car. Then I realized the car had been stolen while I was in the back of it sleeping. I called 911 and explained what happened. When the police arrived they took me back to my family. The police also found the car and arrested the man. My dad decided we should just go back home and forget this camping trip. The bright side to all of this was that we didn’t have to stay camping anymore, and we headed back

    Most teenagers would probably tell you that the beginning of their adulthood was marked by having to do laundry for the first time, or being able to drive alone, or perhaps no longer sitting at the children's table at family events. But for me, it happened this past summer, when I made the very difficult decision that I would not return to Coleman Country Day Camp. To those who were not fortunate enough to have grown up at summer camp, this might not seem like such a big decision to make. But Coleman was my outlet, my second home for ten consecutive summers and spending those two months anywhere else seemed inconceivable to me.…
