"I got voted best cabin leader during 3rd sesssion and got voted as 2nd best cabin leader of the summer by the rest of the staff. The best thing was that the girl who came first had been there for 13 years. I feel I achieved alot this summer and can see the skills I've learnt impactng my life already."
