Excited about PIT!

Dear World,

Now, I leave to go to Sambica for 5 days! And then I'm back at my house for the weekend, and go back on Sunday nights. It's going to be a very different experience. But one that I think I really need. I believe that it's going to grow me and stretch me in a different way. I'm not the same person I was last year when I came to camp. I need different things now. And I think the PIT program will be able to offer them. I still have a lot of work to do, but working with the kids is going to be the greatest part of the whole thing.

Last week I got to sit and talk with a little boy. His name is Andrew. He is really shy, but he was even more so right here because he'd hurt himself and didn't want to interact with anyone. I sat for a few minutes, just talking to him, with no response. And after a little while, he started answering my questions. It was the most beautiful thing to watch this boy start to come out of his hiding place and interact with me.

And that is what I'm looking forward to the most about being with the kids. It's not going to be the same as this boy, but just being able to be with them, play with them, and teach them how to do different things is going to be my absolute favorite part. Kids are my passion, and I hope to be working with them every single day of my life.

And with that, I'll see you all on Friday! :)

In Him,
Maddie Rose
