My beautiful, brilliant nine-year-old daughter was also fearful and anxious much of the time. When I told her that LAMI was running an overnight experience for Girl Scouts of her age, she was initially thrilled. As the day grew closer, however, she became more and more anxious. When we boarded the beautiful Tallship, Exy Johnson, she was excited ... but also very nervous. But she had nothing to fear. The next 24 hours were absolutely wonderful. The crew guided her around every part of the ship. She learned sea shanties and celestial navigation. She bonded with her bunk mate and munched on snacks as the captain told stories into the night. It was a truly magical experience that expanded her horizons; I will forever be grateful to LAMI for providing her with that opportunity.
