hard shoulder

So Ive been away for the past few weeks volunteering for charity and it really has given me an insight not just on how people care about others but coincidences as well.
I just got back from camping out on the borders of Essex, some next scout thing called Jamboree.
It was full of kids 10-18 from all over the place, and most of them were on it.
I met alot of people and learnt new skills, I also had fate giving me the chance to meet some Americans, its weird because nearly everyone I met was really nice, they didn't judge on anything except personality. I think alot of people lack that nowadays espish the areas where I live.
Anyway I got invited to go to America and as soon as I get the paper to go, Im on that next flight to Chicago or Phoenix.
