Summer Job?

     One summer job that I may choose to apply for is Camptoons. Camptoons is a summer day camp located at various churches including Millbrae Bible Church and Sunset Church in San Francisco. It is dedicated to spreading the gospel to kids and families in the community. Now, I have worked at this camp before and it has given me a great opportunity to become more responsible and independent. But this year I may be traveling to a different country and I still do not know whether or not I will be accepted to work here. However, here is a little bit about Camptoons: it is primarily a child care service and all of the counselors have to have a cartoon name. There are many activities at this camp, including weekly field trips, daily games and crafts, and worship. To apply to volunteer at this camp, I will have to turn in an application and get interviewed
by the heads of the camp. I will be able to request which grade groups I want to work with as well, but it is not guaranteed that I will get the grade I want. Camptoons is a great summer camp, and you really get to bond with your fellow staff and crew, as well as with the kids. Overall it is a very exciting job!

Preliminary Thoughts on my Dream Project

     My first thought on the Dream Project was "Are we actually going to create a fully-functional app?" I was both excited and anxious to start this project, because I think it would be really neat to see a dream of my own become a reality. At first I didn't know what kind of app I would create, but then I was reminded of the Technovation Challenge by my friends. So we decided to work together to create an app along with another friend of ours. We have not yet decided what kind of app we want to make and we have no idea how far we will get into the competition, but I know that nevertheless, we will have a wonderful experience working together on something that has the potential make a great impact on the lives of many.
