What would YOU do?

Sarah Grosz

QUESTION: How do you deal with feeling homesick?

I want to tell you about when I first went to overnight camp in Michigan. I was eight years old. I was all set to go for three weeks. But I had never been away from my mom for more than a week (when I went to visit my dad). A few days before I was ready to go, I was VERY nervous.

The day arrived for me to leave for Michigan. I was flying up with my Sunday School teacher, who was spending the summer there. Once we got to the camp, I was half-nervous and half-excited. I was the last one in my cabin to arrive. The counselor and the other three girls in my cabin all came out and greeted me with so much love! I felt at home right away.
