Vanguard Gap Year 2019-2020

I had an incredible year at Vanguard. Although it wasn't always what I expected, the program helped me to grow as an individual, understanding better how to function as an individual, grow in my faith, and choose how I wanted to spend my time living in community with others. It helped me to see areas where I was weaker than I thought, as well as areas where I have strengths, and with the support and guidance of staff and leaders on camp I was able to grow into my strengths and overcome some of my weaknesses to better round out who I want to be and prepare me for future challenges. It challenged my faith to grow and be grounded in what I believe and why I believe it.
