describe an experience (draft 2)

Last year, we were freshman that just got in to a new environment, many things to learn and many things to adjust. At that time, the sophomores prepared a perfect welcome camp for us. They designed many interesting activities and games for us, so that we can not only have fun but also be more close to our classmates and to other members in our own department. It was a big thing that they had prepared for very long time, and we had a really fun and great time. However, after a year, we are in our sophomore year now. Therefore, it is our turn to take over this task.  

In order to hold this welcome camp for the freshman, we began preparing since three months ago, and some of us even longer. We have to spare most of our free time learning dancing, short drama, singing, and so on, which is to perform for them. Moreover, a lot of art work should be done, from all the name cards (about 100) to some big posters of lyrics. Around 50 workers involved in this camp spent almost every weekend together, planning, practicing, and rehearsing. We complained about no time to go home, no time to study, no time to do our own thing. However, we still show up in every preparation, cause all we need is trying to make this camp more perfect, and all we want is hoping to make this camp more successful.

Finally, the day came. A cloudy morning, we all woke up so early, tired but excited. Then we took freshman to our destination, and got started. We lead them to do every activity we’ve planned, from playing games to watching shows; and took care of them in any aspect, from dinning to living. We used up all our energy play with them, run with them, and do our best to please them. We, as team leaders, were just like babysitters, keep worrying if they need to go to restroom, if they are thirsty, if everything is ok; we were also their friends to keep coming up with topics to talk to them which is to prevent them from feeling bored. Although our schedule had been out of order for some reason, and the sudden rain had mess up a little of our plan, that was not big deal. We finish the two day camp at last, successfully.

No matter how exhausted we were; no matter how much time and energy we had sacrificed, the moment you hear the freshmen say” the camp is great, is fun”; the moment they say thank you to you, all the efforts worth. We did it! That is what we’d be working so hard for, isn’t it? After the experience of holding this camp, we shared so much time and memory together, and slept together for one night, the relationship between the sophomores gets much closer. And we hold such a big activity all by ourselves successfully, that’s a really special experience that I will never forget.
