Strengths – Never Too Old to Try

My first summer job outside of Louisiana was at Camp Rio Vista in Kerrville, Texas. Seventeen and one of the youngest water front counselors; this was a summer for many “firsts”. I learned I was a natural goofy foot surfer after long weekends surfing Port Aransas, and in the springs of San Marcus did my first scuba diving. My best friend at camp ran the archery program, and I spent most of my off hours with a bow in my hands. I was a natural at archery, and after that summer back in the swamps of Louisiana, where friends carried sawed off shotguns for poisonous snakes, I carried a bow and 5 arrows. We learn our strengths through trial and error and we are never too old to try.
