My story is about Shel SIlverstein's
book "The Giving Tree." I have a connection
with this book because at my sleepaway
camp the two oldest bunks would-- they
would read it together with the staff,
and we would always-- it would be right after the
main banquet, which is when the ninth
graders would join the 10th graders. And
it's a big emotional night and so
afterwards we would always read "The Giving Tree." And it's really letting the
older kids pass down the title the reigning
title to the ninth graders, because next
summer they will be the
head of camp. And so it's really
emotional because it's the night they--
the night before packing day, which is
the last day of camp and so every time I
see this book in stores I read it.
I always think of my camp, my camp friends
and how much I miss it.
