Last December (yes i know...its a super late blog entry) i was given the opportunity to be part of the coordinator team at AOL camp. It was a 4 day camp that trained students aged 12 to17 about learning skills and motivated them for their upcoming exams. I was the only female coordinator in a group of 6 coordinators.
My team mates (I nicknamed them till I forgot their real names):

Ridwan (Iwaaan)
Shawn Pereira (Kish)
Adam
My Secret Service Dude
For 4 days...from 8am to 5pm...we laughed, joked, competed and encouraged one another and the participants of the camp. We were each assigned a team, but being the super hyper one, I couldn’t stay still and visited every team. As the hours passed, I began to bond with the participants. Some of them needed the extra push but it was alright, that’s was what we coordinators were for.
Although I was the only girl, my fellow coordinators did not bully me, instead it was the other way around. Nehehe. When we’re not coordinating I spent my time playing Truth or Dare with Shawn and Iwan. It was…controversial but super fun!
On graduation day, I was reluctant to let them go. I was invited on stage to say a few words and I decided not to prepare anything…may every word come from my heart.
After that we took pictures (which no one has sent to me to this day) hugged, and there were some tears (not from me…cuz I really held it in) We exchanged phone numbers (some took mine, but didn’t give me theirs) Overall, it ended well, but I am definitely going to miss them.
Oh yeah, and that picture you see up there, that's the two guys that were my buddies at camp. I stole that picture from Shawn. Nehehe.
I will get more pictures soon! ...somehow...
