To be known

I think, no, I know that it is in human nature to want to be known. To be acknowledged and recognized is part of our social desires, and being in a place where nobody knows you by sight is a tough thing. Having hung out with a lot of other out-of-state students, this seems to be one of the biggest parts of adjusting to a new life in college. I've been fortunate enough to find a fun group of kids who are all so different from one another but are part of the crucial community that I have become a part of. Last Tuesday night, as I went to Young Life on campus, I got the opportunity to spend my weekend at Crooked Creek Ranch, a gorgeous Young Life camp in the mountains, directly west of Denver. Although I was the only one from my group of friends who went, I was quickly pulled into the group of people who have dedicated their lives to helping spread the love. Although it felt nice to be back on campus, it feels even nicer to be part of another great community.





This is a video I captured during the ClaimJumper, a huge swing we went off of. Obviously the camera didn't stay like I had it, so if you put your right ear to your right shoulder, it makes a little more sense. Haha, basically proof I did it :)
