Last year my parents sent me to a summer camp. I'm not a sociable person and in a new company i feel shy and sometimes scared, because all the people I meet in my life betray me in the end. That's why the news about the camp disappointed me. When i arrived at the camp, i tried not to talk with other people because of my shyness, but the first evening with my squad was pretty nice. Guys were friendly and positive, and I feel more confident with them. I told some good jokes to introduce myself and the squad appreciated them. I tried to show myself in contests and competitions, worked hard. I gained new friends with help of my sense of humor and industry, I inspired my squad to win the most important contest in our shift, and they found me as amusing and lovely person. When the shift ended, I cried because i didn't want to say goodbye to my new friends which had helped me to believe in friendship
