Then I saw one of the camp counselors approaching me. "Oh great," I thought, since counselors were
always trying to cheer you up or make you laugh.
"Hey," he said, "mind if I have a seat?" I shrugged(耸肩). I wasn't going to encourage him, but I couldn't exactly stop him, either. He sat down alongside me and extended a hand. "I'm Gary," he said, "and
you're Erica, right?" I nodded. "You don't exactly look like you're having a good time," he began.
I crossed my arms and gritted my teeth. "Look," I said, "I didn't want to come to camp, I don't like it, I'm not having fun, and it basically stinks." I glared at Gary.
"So there's nothing here at all for you, huh?" he asked.
"Nothing," I answered.
"Let me show you something," said Gary. He got up, and I followed him along the path until I heard a
sound like a roaring freight train.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Wait and see," he replied, with a small smile.
When we rounded the corner, I couldn't believe what I saw. There was the biggest waterfall I could
ever imagine, right in front of me. "Cool!" I said, and I could feel my eyes getting bigger and a smile tugging at my mouth.
"Still think there's nothing here for you?" asked Gary. "Because there's a whole lot more of this kind of 'nothing' around here."
I had to admit, the waterfall was impressive.
"Look," said Gary, "camp is what you make it. You can be sullen(阴郁的) and closed-minded and
have a rotten four weeks, or you can take a look around you and see some of the incredible sights and
appreciate the opportunity. It would be useless for me to try to make you have fun. You can only do that
for yourself. But if you loosen up a little, you might actually have a good time." With that, he turned and
walked away, leaving me on the path.
That night, by the campfire, I found myself singing along with everyone else. By the time the four weeks were up, I didn't want to leave. I'd seen some amazing things and made some great friends.
Beauty is where you find it. Life is what you make it. I think it's going to be a good year this year. I
mean, I'm going to work to make it one. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to go back to camp next year!

I grew up in Lakeland, Los Angeles．We all lived on my parents' farm．When I was 12,1 got a part-time job on a dairy farm, helping to milk cows．We milked 65 cows at 5 o'clock in the morning and again at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, seven days a week．
One day before daylight, I complained to my father about having to go to milk those cows．My father said, "You know, boy, to work is a blessing．"
Going to college was a rare privilege （特权） for a kid from Lakeland．My father told me if I picked something to study that I liked, I would always look forward to my work．But he also added, "Even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all．" I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined the army to help pay for college．
In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with a baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer．I asked a Bangladesh officer why they weren't using a machine, which would have been a lot easier．He told me a machine would put that lady out of work．Breaking those bricks meant she would earn enough money to feed herself and her baby that day．Although that woman's job was bad, it was enough to keep a small family alive．It reminded me of my father's words: to work is a blessing．
I don't think I'll ever quit working．I'm retired from the army, but I'm still working to help people．I'm not going to stop．I believe in my father's words．I believe in the blessing of work．
