Today is the very important day for us as the board of committes for the year '13/14 is announced. I have so prepared myself mentally that no matter what, I will still stay strong and tough. Yes, I managed to do so because certain things which you have put so much hope in will not turn out right. I has no bad feeling, instead I can have a grin on my face. I told myself: "No matter what's the result, I will not cry or feel depressed over it. Tomorrow will be a better day for me."
School politics always happen to us, who are just teens. It really pisses me off at times and at this very moment too. Just because they have siblings, they deserve to be elected. Just because they can talk eloquently till it makes no sense, they impress our seniors. Just because they are 'popular' in school, they manage to get into the board. Like seriously, you may said they are the 'best' and they are 'well-deserved' but never did you try working as a team with them. The experience is totally horrible. I had my worst three days in my division camp this year. I had never told anyone what exactly happened but I couldn't keep this to myself anymore. My team is actually consisted of four of us. All of them are spoilt, pampered kids. Things did not turn our well on the very first day. They brought literally less than five cooking appliance or equipments, some left out certain ingredients. Like seriously, don't you have the passion and honour to do your job well? If not, just leave. And that's not the end. I tried to control myself from raging, I couldn't bear their who-cares attitude. After we have prepared the th dinner on the second night, we gave a sigh of relief but I was pretty tensed up. I wanted everyone to start cleaning uo before the flies invade our place but no one pretty cares. Some of them even simply wash the appliance and left. And at last, I was the only one left when some are having fun at the canteen. Great!!! One of them even came to me and said she felt bad to leave me doing all the things but she has to go and asked me to leave as well. At that time, I have done most of the washing with my SENIOR helping me. I told her that no, because that's not my way of doing things and it's not hygeine at all. On that evening, I washed,swept, rewiped the tables, clean all the spaghetti on the floor. That may seem to be an easy job but definitely not. I was thoroughly exhausted but yet I dont behave like certain people to leave and bathe. Not to mention I actually broke down for the first time in my st john life.
Enough of this bad experience. So the decision made today was out of my expectation due to the reshuffle of post they have made. Some of them DO NOT deserve the post and in fact, some other people who really put in their effort deserve it. Let just say this girl Z, she is totally irresponsible. In our eyes, we have seen everything she has done, from losing receipts to throwing her job to others but yet she was elected today. Some showed no passion in serving for mankind, a really simple thing as a st john. They did not go for duty, camps and if you are to ask who's our state/area commander, they will defintely stare at you blankly.
I know this may or may not be the end of my life in st john. This may be a pitstop for me to overcome. I have really shone as a St John every since form one, I fulfilled the noble mission to serve the society. I have no regrets. I may not be the best but one day, I will prove them wrong.
