What the future holds
Well i cant say of course what the future holds for me. I'm no prophet. But i'll tell you what i'm going for, or at least what this next summer is shaping up to be. First, a quick back story. At the end of this last summer of working at Camp Lebanon, during my exit interview, Pete (the program director) asked me if i would want to work there again next summer if i got the chance. Instantly i said yes, because that summer was easily the best summer of my life. For this next summer however, I've been looking into this thing called Montana Conservation Corp. Don't get me wrong, i would LOVE to work at Lebanon again and will if i get the chance, but I was actually looking at it for the past summer, but it just didn't work out (mainly due to the fact that i didn't get my application in). Also, for a soon to be biology major, this seems to be a perfect fit. So i figure this summer i hope to be in Montana, from May - October (2011). Then the next summer, assuming everything goes as planned, i'd be a Crew Leader for the Youth Crew. You end up working with two different groups of teens throughout the summer, leading them on month long expeditions. By expeditions i mean you teach the kids to be active members of the community. You also teach them a random assortment of outdoorsy things, including trail maintenance. All while teaching them to be good leaders and what not. It sounds pretty freaking awesome i think. Alas, what i do is not my choice, nope. It's God's choice. I can only pray about what he wants me to do. I'm still completely open and willing to go overseas as a missionary, but even after only two weeks of being an I.C.S. major i feel like it's not right. I LOVE my bio class, my other classes are alright, but biology trumps the rest. If things go this way and i got to be involved with MCC like i'm hoping, after doing those two "terms" i would go back to school and finish up my degree in biology. Then start looking for a job as a park ranger. Like i said though, it's not up to me, it's in the hands of The Creator.
