【Aiden in English】

        The first day of the summer camp is always tough because there are so many things you don't know. The kids are different, and the counselors are different. The camp near the YMCA is different. The program Sports Combo is different. Everything is different. And on this very day, I adopted to that difference.

        As I stepped out of Dad's car, it felt like entering a world of strangers. I knew no one. That all changed when I met my group. They were really friendly, and I liked most of their personalities. They accepted me without any hesitation and treated me as an equal, which was awesome.

        In kickball where I was one of the best, I received no criticism. In fact, one kid even asked for my name. His name was Alex, and he was humorous and nice. Alex told and explained things to me. I quickly realized that he felt like a true friend, and I was certain that we would have relations.

【紅霞譯文】

        當走出爸爸的汽車之後，我仿佛進入陌生世界，眼前沒有一位熟人。不過，一旦與同組的營員會面，所有的忐忑不安立刻煙消雲散。他們非常友善，個性有嘉，毫不猶豫地接納了我，待我像自己的朋友那樣，令我釋懷。

        夏令營開頭一天令人困擾，因為很多未知的東西，同伴不識，輔導員不熟，基督教青年會附近的營地不知，體育綜合活動內容不清，總而言之，一切不盡相同。此時此刻，我努力適應這種不同。

        在本人擅長的踢球項目上，我表現不錯，有位同伴前來詢問我的姓名。他叫亞歷克斯，風趣溫和，主動介紹事情並解釋給我聽，我很快發覺他如同摯友，相信彼此會建立起友誼。
