The camp was a mind opening experience. I feel like the camp changed my point of view. As a young man of color, I may have issues and difficulties that I face that others do not. This does not mean that I am alone. I now think of others as well, instead of just myself. I left the camp with new hope that we can make a change in our communities.
I still keep in touch with some of them, I still thank them for what they did to me. They changed me. I changed! Like someone wise once told me "It’s better to be seen then heard" well sometimes its better to be heard than seen. I'm not rich. I have no money. My voice is the only powerful thing I own. When you say the right words to the right people, they will follow.
