Assignment 3 - Palmer Lee

The summer between seventh and eighth grade, I went to a summer camp called Duke TIP. It was for people who had scored well on the ACT, and gave these kids the opportunity to experience some of what college would be like for three weeks. The one I went to was in Davidson, North Carolina, and I got the opportunity to be around other people who had similar interests as mine. While I was there, I learned a few more advanced concepts, and I learned that just because people have the same interests doesn’t by any means show that they have the same, or even similar, personality traits. This camp also revealed a more social side of me that I didn’t realize I had before. Since then, I’ve been more willing to talk with new people. This experience may enrich my educational environment by allowing me to approach more difficult topics in a different way than I would’ve before I went.
