Dear parents^^:
I feel so great to write the first letter for you! Maybe you are worried about me. But, as you can read, I am still surviving^^.
In order to describe the Camp green lake briefly, I just say several words to you: hot, thirsty and tired!!! There is no air-conditioner in this desert land, but don’t worry, according to some records, people who always stay in air-conditioner rooms will have some serious diseases. So it is kind of relief. Also all the people here have to dig the holes all day without enough water. Fortunately, as you know, I don’t like drinking water in my daily life, so I feel better than others. You do not need to worry! Everyday, we get up at 4 o’clock in the morning. It is too early for everyone, I know. But it is the coolest time in a day, so the early time saves me, always.
Ok, let’s talk about people in the camp. You must be surprised that the “warden” is a beautiful lady. She likes nail polish, mom, just like you. And she is also kind that if we find something she likes, she will give us a day for rest^^. I have rested for a long time, you know, I’m pretty clever^^. Also I have several friends. They are all friendly. But there is no doubt that sometimes we argues with each other. However, we will be ok after several seconds. You know, children thing! I think that I can improve my social and internal skills trough some arguments.
Ok, it is too late for me now. I have to get up early tomorrow to find something Warden likes!!! Then I can take a few days’ rest. Believe me, when I come back, I will be totally different, especially the skin color! ==
Your dear daughter
Ashley
