"I became a better person!"
How her Y experience made her a better person.
You don't need to travel around the world to learn more about yourself. This is what 17-year-old Laurie, a social sciences student at Dawson College, concluded after spending the last seven summers at Camp YMCA Kanawana in Saint-Sauveur. "Kanawana taught me how to feel more comfortable with people, open up to them more and respect their differences."
"One of the most important things I learned is that when you are there for others, you can get through anything." Her wonderful camp spirit and approach to community living earned Laurie the Non Nobis Solum1 award.
