I was very happy in World Camp, even though it was not in every minute and second. I have changed in my attitude toward people. Until I became a volunteer of IYF, I was not very interested in other people's affairs, I mean I will not talk to people around me or pay attention to what they are talking about when I believe that it's not important or relevant to me. I felt lonely sometimes because of this attitude. I used to wish I could be another person who was very welcomed and friendly. I wished I had been someone who could talk to anyone, at any time, at any place, and in any occassion, both formal and informal. World Camp had made me felt the changes within me. I have been trying to talk to people around me even those who I don't know at all or don't know well because I learned this from the mind education. Someone may say that it's not good to be so open to other people, but I believe it's good for me.
My family is not as conservative as other families do. My mum is not so complaining as other mothers. I can have friends, even male friends, to visit my house and chat for more than an hour. However, if you ask any of my friends' family if their friends of the opposite sex could visit their house, they would say that it is impossible. Even taking photos with each other or calling on the phone are restricted. Why so? It's too outdated to have such a constraint!
