#Salads and Love Lives
 

We have a problem. I love camp. I enjoy doing all sorts of things around here like homework and swimming but, a lot of people simply don't know about legacies. About people like me. And since I'm blogging anyway, why not include a part of me in it? So here I am.

I hope you didn't think I left for good because that would be kind of embarassing :P. But I have a mission. A mission to make legacy lives easier. And when there's a will there's a way. And my way of doing it is interviewing legacies and sharing it with all of you so you can understand us legacies way better and so you can see us from a different lens.

 

This week I talked to Emily Windfall. She is a 20 year old legacy of Demeter and Aphrodite. She is also a Graduate AI and since she is so experienced and much older than me, I thought she would be a good place to start! She might even know things I don't know about myself! Without further ado, here's our interview:

Anemone
We legacies only get 5 powers across our lives, and half of what demigods normally have. Could you talk a little bit more about your experience figuring out those powers?
 
Emily
So, when I was pretty young my vision began to increase in quality dramatically, and by the time I was 9, I could see around like 5 miles away as though it were nothing. After some digging, I found that it was likely this came from Dite. As I got older, I was able to make flowers bloom, make healing potions and plant teleport.
 
Anemone
What is camp like for a legacy like you? Are classes easier or harder?
 
Emily
I would say it’s pretty normal, but one thing that sets me apart from a lot of other legacies is that I wasn’t brought here when I was around 7 or 8 like a lot of others; my dad brought me and my sister here when we were quite a few years older than that, closer to 11-12. Classes are essentially the same, although like for most of us it can be a struggle because ADHD.
 
Anemone
Do you find it harder to talk to other campers? And of course, do people ALWAYS assume you're a demigod?
 
Emily
YES, and gods above is it annoying! Like, when everyone’s always like ‘who’s your godly parent, who is it?’ And I'm just chillin over here like, bro what. This can make it quite difficult to connect with other campers.
 
Anemone
Is there anything else YOU would like to say to everyone here at camp?
 
Emily
Watch out for your salads and your love lives :P

Thank you again Emily for your time and sharing your experience with us! That is all for this week folks. Now, here's a question for you all: Aphrodite or Demeter . Remember, all actions have consequences so whatever you pick will result in something! There's only one right answer :P. Bonus points for explaining why you picked what you picked! See you all next time!
