Last Sunday was the closing ceremony of the motivational camp my school had held. Actually there are lots of lessons I learned that can be shared, but this one was the one that touched me the most.
The camp started on Saturday and ended on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Along with the closing ceremony was a prize giving ceremony as well. Prizes were given to the best team in the five teams there were, and then The Best Male Camper there, and lastly The Best Female Camper. Sure, everyone wanted to get the Best Team prize, and I did too, seeing as I was the leader of one of the teams. But we didn't get it unfortunately. Of course, that means more things to be reflected on, what are the flaws in my leadership?
Then they gave out the prize to the best male camper, assuming the reason was his team spirit and dance talents. Then they were going to give the prize out for the best female camper. I thought it was going to the captain of the winning Team, and it appears their team thought so too. Getting the Best Team prize had obviously boosted their ego, and they were shamelessly chanting that their team captain would get the prize. But I also silently thought it was her. Then as the chanting for the other girl died down, I heard another name...my friends were calling out my name. I felt that everyone believed in me so much, and I sent them my thanks. But even then, I still didn't believe it would be me. I mean, there were 200 campers there. How big were the chances? Not very.
But when the emcee announced the winner, I still couldn't believe it. My mouth dropped open and my feet dragged me onto the stage. As I headed back to my place, everyone was like: I told you so!!!!
Well, up till now, I still don't believe it!
But thank you to everyone who believes in me, possibly more than I believe myself!
