My experience with American summer camps. It’s been the worst experience in my whole life

I wanted to do something while university was out. So I decided to go to an American summer camp. I’m from the UK so I got a visa, a flight and paid all agency fees, and went to it. In total it cost me £1.5k The people at the camp were awful, I was bullied by the other staff. I felt so awful everyday. All I wanted to do was hide. I’ll take my fair share of blame, being so sad all the time, means I didn’t do a good job. But they reported me for almost everything. A camper over heard a conversation I was having about pay. He was being paid $500 less. I know in America has this thing about pay. That camper told her counsellor about my conversation. I was given talking to.

I wanted to do something while university was out. So I decided to go to an American summer camp.

I’m from the UK so I got a visa, a flight and paid all agency fees, and went to it. In total it cost me £1.5k

The people at the camp were awful, I was bullied by the other staff. I felt so awful everyday. All I wanted to do was hide.

I’ll take my fair share of blame, being so sad all the time, means I didn’t do a good job.

But they reported me for almost everything. A camper over heard a conversation I was having about pay. He was being paid $500 less. I know in America has this thing about pay.

That camper told her counsellor about my conversation. I was given talking to.

Another time it was our half-day and I wanted to go to some museums, this one counsellor, who I later had big problems with told me I couldn’t and it would be selfish to deviate from her plan.

When I told her I’m going to do t and she can pick me up later, she reported me, but the manager had my side on this one.

She made life a million times worse from that day. I booked my flight home on that day.

I told them yesterday that I wanted to leave, but I’ll stay till the 8th so I don’t screw them over. And I told them when my flight was

So today they screwed me over, they fired me, so I have to stay in a hotel costing $300 for 4 nights which isn’t bad, but puts me more in the whole.

I’m really sad, I just wanted to make children happy. It’s the worst experience of my life.

I’m trying to be positive, but I just want to go home.
