I never went to EFY (Especially For Youth). It was something that I didn't care enough about to earn the money for. And it was waaaay too expensive here at BYU. Sometimes I wish I had gone, but really I'm pretty okay with the fact that I didn't.
However, I want so badly to be an EFY counselor. I keep reading posts/blogs/statuses about EFY counselors and it's making me so very jealous! I love teenagers! I think they are such fun people to be around. Esp the just barely teens, the 13-14 age group. If I am for some strange reason still her in Provo next summer, it is my goal to be and EFY counselor. I'm pretty sure it would be my dream job. How would it be to have under your care for a whole week a group of teenagers who are wanting to become better, who are in a position to listen to you, to learn from you, to (hopefully) like you and enjoy being with you? I know that I don't have a lot in the way of being an role model for teenagers (I'm pretty weird and awkward and ridiculous), but I do have a testimony of the gospel, a testimony that I would love to share with these kids. To help them find joy in life through the gospel. To help them gain appreciation for this wonderful gift that we have.
Anyways. I probably won't be here next summer. Almost positively won't. But maybe when I get back from my mission I can check this off my list of dreams.
