I spent six of my summers growing up at an all girls camp called Wavus. Wavus is a wilderness tripping camp in Maine based out of my hometown, Jefferson. Living in Jefferson, I did not obtain a great deal of exposure to other people from the country, let alone other parts of the world. When I went to Wavus I was put in a cabin with girls from all over the United States and even one from Belgium. Having to live with these girls for a month each summer enabled me to become close friends with them and learn about their lives. I also learned lots about myself and how I interact with people. I am an only child so it was, kind of, a shock for me being thrown into a cabin with nine other girls and being expected to share a bathroom, showers, and space
