"I want to attend Telem Camp 2012" Essay - Eno, 15
I want to attend Telem Camp 2012 because I want to meet other young adults of African descent and learn from them about their culture. I also want to learn how to develop my team work and leadership skills. I also enjoy activities outdoors and want to learn more about nature because I adore nature and its resources. Because my school schedule can be very intense, I do not usually get the time to relax or have fun. Attending Telem Camp would give me a chance to relax, have fun, and get to know more about other people.
I am really looking forward to playing and learning new games with other African kids and laughing at the jokes we all make. In doing so, I would also experience the life of growing as a young African lady. When I was back in Ghana, I didn’t have the chance to travel around our continent and when I came to America at the age of twelve, I still haven’t had the opportunity to travel around to see the lives of people in other countries, especially in Africa.
Attending Telem Camp would be just like traveling around the globe since I get to meet new people from all over Africa where I am from. I am willing to learn more about the people of Africa and about their ethnicities and life styles.
