2018 marks my fifth and final year attending LIFEbeat camps as a young person before I head to university in the autumn to study English Literature (and hopefully get involved as a peer mentor!). Being a part of this community has given me both a second family and encouraged me to pursue my interest in writing and think creatively in ways that I might not have otherwise considered. It’s a wonderful, supportive community of people who have shaped who I am today, and that’s why I’m so happy to be involved in the Council process!
