This is the last song

Today is the beginning of a sad season: real adulthood.

It mustn't be this way though. I have had the summer of my life, here at Philmont. And although so many of my friends are leaving, it is important to remember that it has been amazing, and nothing will change that.

In two days I will pick up my 20th crew. It may not be a huge number or matter much, but I have had impact on many lives, roughly 200 people. Then again, they have had impact on me too.

So, as I collect the memories of a place that I love dearly, I too will look forward.

To what? I am still unsure. But, till that really

happens, I can still enjoy the challenge that an unknown future may bring.
