Getting to Know Me (or not…)!!!
Hi there everyone, Zack here! I hope you’re all having a wonderful morning, or afternoon. Or evening… Or whenever you’re reading this! Sorry about the slightly ominous title, just thought it might grab all of your attention with a little bit of mystery. Anyway, here’s a short little piece about myself to (hopefully) tell you whatever you need to know about me. The first thing you should know is that I love playing games, and don’t very much love just reading through things. If you feel the same then you’ll love going through this bio as it’s slightly different than others because I’ve made a guessing game out of it (don’t worry, all the answers are at the end!). For each section, there will be a few choices, and you must try to pick the right one. Be sure to keep track of what your total score is (or not, you do you, yay individuality!). Although, being the nice person I am, you get this first part for free. I’m a 20-year-old student and this is going to be my first time ever in the USA! The really fun part comes in when you get to camp. You guys can all tell me your scores and we’ll see who wins! How’s that for spicing things up? Anyways, without further ado or more rambling, though rambling can be fun. Just talking about the things you like and don’t like, the art of conversation, learning whatever you can about someone, potentially making some new friends, expanding your hor-… Sorry, just rambled (can’t help it!). Let’s go!

6. Whilst I was in college (in England we have this before University, sorry to confuse you guys!), I actually helped to run a camp! Granted it was on a much smaller scale than the wonderful world of Augusta (be sure to ask me about it!). But what did the camp focus on?

And breathe… Really hope you guys enjoyed playing along! I’m sure you all did amazingly and hopefully you got to know a little bit more about me (and even more hopefully this has made you want to get to know me even more!). But now I’m going to actually speak to you guys. About what I hope I can give to you during your time here. The main thing is the summer of a lifetime. Where else could you go to do a high ropes course, use ancient weaponry, play the drums, go swimming in a gorgeous lake and learn how to be a blacksmith, and all at the same place? I’ll wait…..

Didn’t think so. My job here is to help you do as much of this stuff as possible and have the best time whilst doing it. Now, what exactly is in it for me? To be honest, nothing much at all. Except for seeing all your smiling faces and bigger smiles as you (sadly) leave at the end of your time at Augusta. Hopefully I can do this by being my usual happy, fun-loving and all-in-all daft and silly self. After all, what better way to laugh and play than by being a no-holds barred, outgoing person? But most of all, I’m looking forward to getting to know as many of you wonderful people as possible, which makes me think. How about we continue our game from earlier, except we swap places? If you’re interested, I’d like you guys to think of some questions about yourself, your interests and your hobbies, write them down just like I did here and then ask me them when we finally meet!
Unfortunately, that’s about everything I could tell you about myself right now. I’m sure we’ll really chop it up when you all arrive. As I said, I can ramble on and on and on until you eventually get si- never mind, saved it this time. Goodbye for now, future Augustans! I’ll see you all very soon!!!
Oops, almost forgot! Here’s the answers from earlier!
1. A
2. C
3. C
4. B
5. C
6. C
7. C
Bet you have not seen that many C’s since you looked at a globe! (Oh yeah, I forgot to mention a love a lame “dad joke”!)
