Personal Narrative Essay: All Good Things That Come To And End

724 Words3 Pages

As the saying goes: ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AND END. So once again the day when we had to say farewell to each other has come. Since only our horse ride group were the only ones left at the camp, we had a few nice silent meals together. But before breakfast, KOVÁCS SYABI had another nervous breakdown cause many of the kids from the Youth Gang were missing and he really wanted that during our last meals together everyone was present. Poor Szabi was very nervous throughout the entire week and I guess for good reasons too. Many of us weren 't doing accordingly to his will. We were either missbehaving with or near the horsers or someone was always late whenever we had activities together. Heck, almost every time some people would start eating before we would say a prayer LOL. And speaking of food, here 's a little video of everyone marching in the dining …show more content…

Oh yea...this year the participation fee for us disabled persons was 60 lej so once again we got off cheap. Hmmm...well I guess it 's time to wrap up this memoir. Even though this year 's camp wasn 't as special as last year, it started out slowly and the rain ruined quite a bit two of our days, by the fourth day, things picked up a notch so in the end we departed from the camp not happy because it was all over, but happy because we managed to make new friends, strenghten our friendship with the old ones and have a really good time together. So this time my overall note for my time spent at the camp will be slighty bigger than my last one: 9. So once again we are all looking forward to next year when the horse camp will turn five years since its existence, of course, by then we will all have learnt not to have too much expectations anymore and make the best of things when the moment arrives. I hope you enjoyed reading this year 's memoir as well and hope to see you all next year at the camp and why not, I hope we bump into eachother sooner on other

The views were like swimming into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain "Lake Winaukee" sign on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to shock and, mesmerize me. Those colors!

All my classmates are sleeping in and enjoying their Saturday morning, but I don’t envy them; I’m excited to start my day volunteering at the local Equine Assisted Therapy center. Although it wasn’t clear to me then, looking back on my experiences working with special needs horses, people and children, I’ve come to the realization that a major component to the healing of these cases is the overcoming of social and mental barriers rather than just physical obstacles. I arrive that morning and introduce myself to Mrs. Deborah, the head instructor, who gave me anything but a brief run down of the importance “you volunteers” play in the healing process of the riders.

Handicapable Camp is an overnight respite camp for individuals 12 and over with mild to moderate disabilities.
