Marcela and Molly's Camp Adventures

Molly and I

This is me and my best friend Molly. Our story started at a camp back in 2019. We stayed at camp for four weeks. At first, she and I did not even notice each other. We became friends after about a week. Once we became friends, we did not even acknowledge anybody else as much as we did ourselves. 

 We did every single activity together and never did anything without each other. When the day at camp came when we had to say goodbye, we were sobbing and crying all day. Her parents came early so that they could drive home to New York. I live in Montana so there is diffidently a mileage between us. The camp we are going to is in Maine, so I had to fly home.  

This is my favorite picture of us, so I had to put it as my picture for this project. Me and Molly have not seen each other since camp in 2019. We try to facetime every day, but most of the time either one of us is busy. We have tried to convince our parents to let us see each other again before camp, but we have not been successful. We were so excited to see each other again in the 2020 camp session. When each of us got the email saying that the camp was cancelled, we ignored each other for weeks on end. I wish we did not ignore each other though. I feel like we wasted time talking to each other. We were just so devastated that we could not see each other for another year. 

 The thing is with me and Molly is that we are basically twins. We get each other on whole new levels that I could not get with anybody else. For instance, we both hate and love the same food. We also have very close birthdays. Hers is January twenty fourth and mine is January twenty eighth. We want to see each other for our birthdays, but we do not know what will happen. I would do anything to see this girl again before camp. I do not want to have to wait until June to see her. 

 At the camp there are sessions so there are different dates. I gave up seeing my other friends, just so I could see her again. I hope the camp does not get cancelled again otherwise we will both be devastated. It has been almost two years since I have seen her. Just the thought of me seeing her allows me to imagine running up to her and crying. Imagine not being able to see ur best friend, your twin, your soulmate for another whole other year. I feel sad every day because I cannot see her.  

Now to explain this picture. Me and Molly have made many friends at camp but like I have said, we are the closest to each other. Me and Molly were hugging because she felt homesick and some of our friends came up to us with a rope. Our friends tied us up and started to make us laugh. We have this one adult at camp who takes all the camps photos, and she took photos of us and posted this on the camps Facebook page. My mom sent me an email the next day saying that she loved seeing me happy and especially with my best friend. 

 Me and Molly made the whole camp laugh. I remember a memory of me and Molly at camp when sometimes during our free time, we would take oranges or apples from the cafeteria, and play catch. Everyone at camp always wanted to play with us and so they did. The photographer also took photos of that memory and posted them as well. If we do another project like this, I will probably take that photo and use it.  

For as long as we live, me and Molly will be best friends and care for each other through thick and thin. I cannot imagine if something bad will ever happen to Molly. I of course would be devastated and would worry all the time. I just hope that me and her stay friends and keep this picture above for the rest of our lives in our hearts. I do not really know what else to talk about, so I am going to talk about camp.  

I started going to camp in 2019 because back in 2018 I saw a Disney channel show that was about the camp. I had to ask my parents to go for a while. My parents officially let me go. I was so excited and was happy to meet new friends. I got to camp in July 2019 for the second session of camp for four weeks. I arrived at the camp after flying into Boston and spending the day with my dad sightseeing. He drove me to Maine, and I said goodbye. I could still talk to my family at camp by email and at lunch that is printed and handed out. I never really got homesick until about 3 days before I was leaving camp.  

On the last full day of camp, we had a bid agenda. We would do our activities for the first day as always, and then we would go take showers. After the showers we would get ready for a banquet. At the banquet we would eat steak and corn and nice food. Then we would go back to our cabins and change for the campfire. At the campfire we would talk about camp what we were looking forward to for next year. We would also cry a lot. As well as give out shirts and prizes for how many years you have been there. Then we would fall asleep and go to our cabins and get ready for bed. We would finish packing our stuff and have our last camp huddle up. Then the next day everyone finally left us.
