SP CAMPERS.
There are numerous amounts of people i have yet to thank, apologise, embrace.
The experience, is out of this world.
Every single camp, there are different things to remember.
Even if there were times where i wanted to get aggressive.
Times when i just wanted to lift off to lala land.
Times when i was laughing so hard.
Times when it was just hard to hold back my tears.
For sure, it won't end here.
I still remember my very first batch of students.
They were not those students who shine the brightest.
But they are the best at what they do.
Which is being themselves.
I remember you.
I still remember being called names; "Uncle, Cookie Monster".
I still remember the "BURN CLAP", how hilarious and fun it was.
My students were a bunch of lovely people, cute, fun and shy.
Hard to even believe they are Secondary 1.
I remember you.
You cheered, you screamed, you laughed.
I made you run, all across Telok Blangah, as one.
I knew how tired you are, but you still kept on going.
And at the end, you made me cry so hard.
I remember you.
I screamed, i reprimanded.
And i almost fainted.
It was a challenge, but somehow i know.
I touched that little heart of yours.
I remember you.
The magical campfire.
Hogwarts as i call it, with a touch of shuffling.
I saw your tired faces, some already fell asleep.
But you did your best, to shine.
I remember you.
Those cheers, that laughter.
The cute group names, it was hilarious.
I'm sad it did not end smoothly.
But i hope i did something that makes you remember.
Because; i remember you.
You were not proactive, you were not that responsive.
But that is what makes you shine the most, your friendship.
Build on that bond, don't neglect your friends.
I still remember making jokes with you, bang bang candy!
I remember you.
Surely.
This is not totally over, i know.
Because every end, leads to a new beginning.
Each and every one of you, made me believe.
In my own aspiration.
To Inspire.
To Change.
So many things that happened.
So many things i wish i could say.
Wish i could share.
Wish i could write more.
But i am happy, that i did what i did.
And you remember, what i did.
And the friends i made here.
The many many friends i made.
I thank you all, for giving me the chance.
To be myself, and to shine in my own right.
No matter our differences, no matter our arguments.
I still wouldn't change you for another.
Because we touched those lives, together.
As we touched each others' life.
I remember you.
"BOOTS, SHOES, SNEAKERS, SOCKS! SP CAMPERS REALLY ROCKS!"
