I find it oddly amusing going around surfing blogs. admist all the enthusiasm about COALs and all, there is just that underlying sense of sacarsm and irony. and if I am honest, as with everything else that is done in cedar.

supposedly, in cedar, we are all leaders. and supposedly, those actually going for COALs, counting out prefects and PSLs, are all leaders of some sort within their ccas. logically looking at it then, we, campers, are all leaders, no?

yet there are so many problems with all the groups. the campers know it. the instructors know it. and probably, the teachers know it as well.

so isnt it just simply dripping with irony when we know so damn darn well that the problems all stem from one source?

at the end of the day, I am sure all the problems can be traced back to one source. and we arent idiots either, I doubt any camper isnt aware of this. then why. why is there still unhappiness within groups? why are the instructors not happy with how we are doing? why is it so that there isnt smooth cooperation? we ought to know right? how to best handle stuff, how to cooperate with each other. we are leaders? I feel quite let down. not by the camp, not by the instructors, not even with the campers. we are all trying our very bests, I know.

I know different people handle stuff differently, view stuff differently. that there are different leadership styles, but, I dont know. it just doesnt seem to satisfy my question, does it? we ought to know, we ought to be able to handle all these, but we arent, aint doing it well, aint doing it well enough.

the sense of disappointment is so tangible in the air, even in something as simple as a blog post. where's the yardstick? where's right and where's wrong? and where's good and where's bad? I feel so blind and without an aim when we are talking about COALs.


but we'll just try, and try and try harder. try and try and try harder. we wont give up, will we?

cause I still want to believe that we are stars, and that we can shine brightly, together. not even just echo, but everyone, really, every single one of us. I still want to hold on to that knowledge, that it only takes a spark, to get a fire going. call me idealistic, but I dont want to let go, not yet.
