champs.

the last 3 days was spent with 18 thirteen year olds, a situation which i've never really envisage myself in. initially when i first started out, i thought to myself that i was in deep shit, what in the world was i supposed to do with them. to be frank, im not a pro-camp person, i only agreed as a friend needed people to help out with the camp. but surprisingly, the feelings took a turn on the last day when the kids were about to leave. somehow all the nonsense that we went through together didnt seem to be in vain when most were reluctant to leave and when i had girls in my group tearing/crying. the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is simply priceless. like teaching, i think this requires passion, cos if it's just for the money that one is into it, the remuneration is definitely not worth it.

and thank to these kids, i have justin bieber's 'baby' in my head right now, i guess it's the 'hottest' song in their school at the moment. =p i almost forgot what it felt like to feel young again until i met them. it's definitely an experience i'll never forget even though i wont deny that it's an emotionally taxing job. for what it's worth, i had my fun.
