How do you define happiness?
“Happiness is not so much in having as it is in sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”Experiences in life can be so much fun when we relive them. Summer camp is one of those moments in time we remember forever.

It is hilarious to hear some of the answers Jay walkers give. For example; he interviewed a woman who had just graduated from college. She still donned her cap and gown even!
