I’m a person, that’s the way I want to introduce myself. As a person, who I am now is a beautiful combination of things about the past, the present and the future.
Let’s start with some of those facts…
“If you can dream it, you can do it”
My name is Constanza and people call me Coni. I’m 20 years old and I was born and lived all my life in Argentina – a beautiful country in South America where you can find huge cities, mountains, rivers, beaches, waterfalls, glaciers and snow.
Here’s a map that shows where is the country where I’m from 😀
This year is my first time at Camp Augusta.
I’ve been in Med School for two years right after finishing High School but I decided to open my possibilities and trying new things.
I love nature and being outdoors, especially in the summer. Lying on the grass by a tree under the sun light is one of the things I enjoy the most. I’m really active so I don’t like being too much time without doing something. I have a great time when I play sports despite of the fact that I’m not very good at them. But if there’s something that excites me that is being away from the ground… climbing trees or riding horses, zip-lining and rollercoasters as well. One of the reasons why I like these activities is the fresh wind which seems to be faster and stronger than it is on the ground. That freedom sensation makes me feel joy no matter where I am. Clearly, parachuting is on my wish list.
One of my biggest dreams is to travel around the world and get to know and feel all the different cultures.
I am a person who wants a change in the world. One of the paths I follow to try to do so is to help people.
With small acts I think we can change a life. A word, a hug, a smile, an advice, a look in the eyes, a joke, a polite greeting to the bus driver. Little things that can change moments, can change days so they can change lives.
I worked with children instructing rollerskating 5 years ago. In the last two years, a university classmates group and I organized chats and debates about health issues at elementary and high schools.
Another thing I believe is that if we want to make the world a better place, we must not forget that we are not alone here – animals and plants are as important as we are. So help them, keep them safe and make them grow is another challenge we face.
When I first heard about Camp Augusta I could feel it as a place where people have a real connection with nature, with each other and with themselves. It’s a place of constant challenge and growth that allows children and also staff to try, fail, success and learn all the time.
I’m more than excited about spending the summer in this place of wish, wonder and surprise called Camp Augusta.
I can’t wait to meet every camper, to listen to their stories, to share experiences, to learn from each other and to grow together.
