Packing my bags into the back of the horse float I started to get really excitied about camp. I quickly ran through my check list; sleeping bag, pillow, bed and drink bottle. Check! I heard Mum call out to hop in the car. We were about to go!
Leadership camp should be lots of fun and full of excitement, I thought to myself as we arrived. I hopped out of the car, grabbed my bag off mum and caught up with some of my friends from other schools. Soon after, the names of people in each tent were read out. Thankfully I was with Cheyann. While setting up our gear I started sneezing and instantly realized that I had hay fever. Running to Mum she noticed straight away that my eyes were swelling up and that I looked itchy. She snatched me some antihistamines though I wouldn't respond. So i sat in the lounge for the next half an hour thinking it would go away. But sadly it didn't, it just became much worse. Mum looked at me. "I think I will be taking you home." I didn't say anything. I knew I could not have fun running around with hay fever so i stood up and grabbed my bag and into the car I went.
It was a shame that I couldn't stay but my hay-fever turned into a cold and i know that I wouldn't have had a good time. There is one positive bit because when i came back to school everyone was talking about some Fear Factor and how they had to eat sardines and onion!
