It is now the summer holidays! *high fives*
I have finished my first year of college, it was hard but I am so pleased I worked through it and managed to get the grades needed to get into my second year of college! Now it's summer, I have been working a lot more as I need to save up as much £££ as possible because I am hoping that this time next summer, I will in working on a summer camp in America as part of the Camp America Program! Applications open in 4 days and I am beyond excited, I have registered and I'm just sitting tight waiting for that email to say that applications are open! Ever since I was little, I've always wanted to work with children and now I'm getting to follow that dream in a lot of aspects in my life and the chance to go and work in America (something I've also always wanted to do) with children just sounds like the perfect opportunity for me! I am hoping to become a general counsellor and work with a specific group of children and help them when moving to different activities, joining in with the activities and encouraging them and also living with them.
This summer I am spending a lot of my time working in order to earn money so that next summer, I can fulfill this dream of mine as well as then spending some time traveling around the US of A! Generally during this summer, I've also been spending a lot of time with my friends and family, catching up with some old friends and doing simple things that I enjoy that I haven't had as much time to do when I've been studying. I'm also going to the gym a lot more and spending more time enjoying the simple things.
Today I went into town to go to the bank for my mum and do some odd jobs, I had put 2 hours on my parking ticket but did not need it all so when I was leaving the car park, I lent my ticket to someone who was about to buy one, which made me feel really pleased that I had done something kind and helpful to someone else. So today I challenge you, to do something kind for someone, whether it's making a cup of tea or sending a nice message or telling someone they look good today, do something that may make a person smile or make their day better.
I hope you're all having a wonderful summer and enjoying the beautiful weather! Let me know what acts of kindness you do to brighten someone's day in the comments below, I would love to hear about it!
Keep smiling! xoxo
