I never thought this would happen so fast but it feels great to finally feel a sense of attachment to my boys. Getting to know every single one of them better, crack my head to think of improvements for weekly meetings, well, i've never done all these or at least take much pride or effort in doing it. I want things to happen. I want things to change but more importantly, i want them to have fun.
When i was a venture and about to embark on ops rovering, i always had picture that i would be the bad guy and the boys wouldnt like me that much. At least that was my experience as a boy.
However, its all very different now. If they make a mistake, i would rather sit down and discuss with them instead of resorting to ''violence''.
During the first day where the sec1s came in, as i was teaching them about knots and other scouting matters, i found myself pausing for a brief moment and i looked at the rest of the boys who were doing footdrill at that moment. I realised how fast it will be for them to grow up and be like the rest.
I cant really find the words but i somewhat feel honoured to be given the opportunity to guide these boys in whatever capacity i am capable of.
Vincent once mentioned that he feels the sense of accomplishment to see through the boys grow from sec1 untill they graduate. Maybe i'd be able to see through his eyes afterall and hope to gain the experiences that he got as well.
Well, i hope for the best and for everything to all go well.. or at least as planned. ;D
