Had 2 days of camp which was compulsory for us SOH students to attend. It was a resilience camp, literally. I never felt so tired and yet fun at the same time all together. Honestly, I didnt feel like attending it at all the day before and boy was I dreading. But after the camp, I felt like I have achieved something really big and I hope that it will help me at any time of the day or the year.
Of course, there were bound to be some rotten apples in the team but I was glad that it was only the minority. Otherwise I would have just to kill me right away.
Was also really happy that most of us were comfortable to work together after just a few hours of knowing each other. I mean, we had no choice right? So I think that we all had the same thoughts of making the best out of it. And we did :) I regret not exercising before this camp because really, we had to be both physically and mentally prepared. I feel that this camp really tests the mind because its tough. Hence, resilience.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed all the activities except for 1. Wouldn't wna spoil the fun by typing what all the activities were about though. Just gna state that I really hope one day, I would be able to overcome my claustrophobia cos honestly having phobias suck. It sucks big time. I felt like I was a failure for not being able to overcome it and a major loser, period. I swear I thought to myself that there was no point living if I cldn't face this phobia of mine but I.just.can't :'( I instantly cried the moment I got out from the place and I didnt want to actually. It just came out by itself. God at that moment, I really hated myself so much but then again, I had to put on a front to show that I was okay. Really, it was one of the saddest moments of my life, top 3.
You can say that I still had a great time despite some setbacks because the people I were with, were awesome and they never failed to encourage me throughout. :) Honestly, this kind of camps are like slaps in the face of reality.
