WE ARE A PCC FAMILY (LITERALLY)
by Eoin Gallagher and Sophie Nelson
As we know, PCC 2018 is full of surprises. This year there is an influx of siblings attending, both students and proctors. Having a sibling, whether it’s a student or a proctor, at a camp can make for an interesting experience.
PCC 2018 is home to more than 300 students, which creates the perfect atmosphere for making friends. Although you may feel obligated to hang out with your sibling, “just know you are free to be your own person,” claimed Eoin Gallagher, brother to second year student Maggie Gallagher. A sibling at camp can make you feel more comfortable but also challenge you to go outside your comfort zone. For second year student Sophia Nelson, that is exactly what her sibling does.
PCC proctors are addressed by Mr. or Ms. with their last name. Their first names are hidden throughout the summer, but it is a hard adjustment for student-proctor siblings. “It’s been hard to call my sister ‘Ms. Nelson’ after living with her for my entire life,” claimed Sophia Nelson, sister to PCC 2018 proctor Ms. Nelson.
There aren’t just student-proctor siblings either, student-student siblings are common too. Second year student Maggie Gallagher has a brother here, who is first year Eoin. “It was not nearly as bad as I expected. I enjoy having little embarrassing moments to remember forever,” commented Maggie. Most students who have siblings at PCC find it a better experience than without them. Caroline Coburn, a second year student who has two sisters at PCC, shed light on her experience. “I do not like PCC as much when I don’t have my sisters here,”.
Siblings may be annoying at home, but at PCC your siblings become some of your best friends.
