My family has a tradition of having a family reunions every other year. One year I was working for a summer camp and our vacation fell on the same week as my family reunion. The plan was that I would go to the family reunion for a few day make a appearance, then go to San Fran for a few days with some friends.When it came time to go I decided not to go to the family reunion. Instead I went to Las Vegas with a group of people and pal around with a good friend of mine.
The thing is I did not know that My friends uncle that he was going to stay with didn't want extra company. An the group of people that we went with really didn't invite me to go with them, my friend invited me. At this point I felt very unwanted and was wishing that I could go back in time a change my decision. I end up having to go with the others and invade on their plans. On top of all the discomfort I was feeling I had family and friends that were angry with me for going to Vegas and skipping out of the family reunion. I end up having a bad time in Vegas there wasn't much I could do there since I was only 18 yrs old. An the group I was with were 20-30 years of age. It was hard for the whole group having me around they were unable to do some of the things they wanted to do. I could feel the tent ion between some of the people that I was with. They made it very apparent that I didn't belong with out saying anything.
I found out that you should not make assumption always make sure your plans are set before you go. Make sure you are wanted by all member of a group before you invade on their plans. An mom's are always right. She told me I should just come home, but I didn't listen and ended up having a trouble experience.
