ABOUT ME

Hey so quickly, my names Jake! I'm 20 and currently residing in rock hill new york, america. Thats the country, like real redneck 3 hours from the city one pub and a wal mart town. Here i live/work at camp jened. And this is the best thing i've ever done in my whole life. I cant descibe how truly hard/amazing it is. It's a special needs camp for adults and works under the cerebal palsy association of new york. I was senior counsellor but have been promoted again. My workmates and our guests are a family. Where i live is beautiful and i am obssesd with my job. New york City itself is also incredibly cool as are the other places in the us i've travelled. I miss home alot but i am safe (and tired) and happy (and tired!). It's going to be very hard when i have to leave but its the start of a new adventure as i have a one-way ticket from JFK to London with no idea of where i'll go or do except a 2 year working visa! Oh and me and my roomate will be travelling around NY state and other places after camp if you any ideas of what to do where to go. :D Catch ya later.

PHILOSOPHY

Ahhh cliche! But just live like your gonna die tommorow, bad things happen so we don't make the same mistakes tommorow so just "do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be YEAH!"
