Second Week

The kids are definitely starting to show their colors now, with all their issues from back home and problems with one another.  However we have definitely been able to talk with the girls especially as a group to solve some of the issues they have with one another.  The talks have been very effective and I think that it's great that they are so willing to talk to one another.  

Today was definitely the first day that I have seen Tessa so happy since she came to camp. Usually she starts out with her head down, not wanting to do much on her own.  However she really changed today with her head held high with a huge smile and it really seemed like she was really starting to enjoy herself and with all the other girls.  

The main goal that I really want to achieve by the end of the 6 weeks is to allow them to know that even though they might not have the best situations at home, they are all wonderful children who just need some positive guidance sometimes in their lives and can still achieve whatever they want in life if they set their minds to it.
