Personal Narrative: Camp Sunshine

226 Words1 Page

I decided to sign up for Camp Sunshine to make my resume look better. I was dreading the camp until the day it began. I couldn’t imagine spending hours with children I didn’t know. I asked myself, how could I help these girls who are so different than me? We have nothing in common. However, on my first day, when I arrived at Camp Sunshine, the staff members immediately accepted me like family. I felt welcome and that I could speak with anyone if I was having any difficulty.

  • Summary Of Reminiscences Of My Life In Camp, By Susie King Taylor

    721 Words  | 3 Pages

    Stories from the Civil War often are told from a man's perspective and rarely from a woman's point of view. In 1902, Susie King Taylor wrote her memoir, Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops Late 1st S. C. Volunteers, to explain her role in the war as a wife to a soldier, the regiments' laundress, a teacher, and a nurse. Taylor is famously known for being the first black nurse during the Civil War, but her memoir gives historians a closer look at her life and multiple roles during the war. In 1848, Taylor was born into slavery in Savannah, Georgia.

It just wasn’t a big deal”. These narratives told in the documentary are revealing of how much the campers’ social and mental well-being improves while they’re at camp. The setting they’re in provides them with social support that they clearly had not been receiving in their lives outside of camp, or else their experiences at camp wouldn’t have been so revolutionary and
