I loved taking on a supervisory bossman role because I was able to do everything they way I thought was best. (With a little direction from my favourite intern director Mr Mike!). Nobody under-estimated me and (nearly) nobody questioned my authority or my intelligence. I loved it. I prayed really hard for this past week because it was more than a one-week-holiday-camp for me. It was a trial for directing CPAC this summer and a test to see if it is something I really do want to pursue after the next year. It definitely wasn't without it's frustrations...there were so many incidents where I wanted to try and do everything myself and there were times when I wished I could just sit with the kids for longer but they respected me alot more this week and it motivated me to make the week as good as I could for them. I loved it. And I'm good at it.
Highlights....
Watching Jamil reading the last supper from the bible while we took communion and the class just listening patiently to him was awesome. Nikola is an odd kid but when he recited the memory verse after only guessing 3 letters in a game of hangman, I was stunned. He is a smart kid and he earned alot of respect that class and I was so encouraged watching on the sidelines. Jilvan and Nicole taking centre stage during closing program with the traveller and the princess skit made me smile. I was so proud of them and the way they made people laugh.
The frustations and the late nights and the early mornings and the sniffles and the coughs were all worth it. After blogging about it I don't want to even talk about the negatives anymore. Roll on the summer....
Also....being house manager is not cool.
