Streetlights Like Fireworks
“I’m still groggy from staying up last night, playing through a headphone practice amp long after my fellow Leaders in Training stopped talking and called it a day. My face is dripping sweat, my T-shirt already soaked through from both humidity and exertion. I try to ignore my canoe team as they keep badgering me to get in the game since we’re losing. Not that this is a race, officially, since the camp claims all activities to be non-competitive.
The five twelve-year-old boys in my boat don’t seem particularly concerned about being respectful of my status as an “LIT.” Evidently, they see it pretty much the same way I do. Just three more days to go.
Last year was my first as a “Leader in Training” and I’d briefly hoped that I’d at least be treated even somewhat like an adult. Not the case, I quickly learned. We’re bound by the same rules as the younger campers.
We sleep in cabins without air conditioning alongside a bunch of smelly guys who love sports. We can’t bring computers or use ...cell phones except at specified times on weekends.MoreLess
