Three weeks that changed me all
How many impressions I brought. Three weeks in the forest with the children in the role of a counselor changed everything. I learned to refuel a bed, eat healthy food, manage the behavior of children. Oh, it was hard. The working day of the counselor begins at 7:30 and ends at 2-3 nights, if you are lucky. In addition to entertainment, there are general camps, performances in which some do not want to participate. And our task is to come up with everything, to attract the maximum number of children. And you also need to make sure that no one died, does not run away and miss. It’s good that I was lucky to work in a private camp, where children from wealthy families, a high level of counselors and leadership.
I want to tell so many things! During these 21 days I had different responsibilities, children and problems. Either the child with hyperactivity takes out the brain, then someone cries around his mother, then the idiot fights, then the boys are peering behind the showers. In the next posts, I will talk about all such situations, about the ethics of the counselor and my thoughts. I must say right away that my idea of education, education and camps has changed dramatically. I would never have thought that I would scream at the children and threaten them. But, damn it, sometimes such idiots come across, and in the evening an important performance.
Of course, there are always more positive points. These are mimic kids! I spent the first day after parting in Moscow. I went to "Dolkabar" and almost burst into tears. Typically, counselors cry when they collect suitcases. I had this moment for a day. How I miss these bright days, these cool guys, to whom I got so attached in three weeks. It seems that they are your best friends, whom you know for a hundred years.
Time in the camp goes differently. The first week seemed to go a month. And the whole change is a year. Is it true. You no longer remember what you did the day before yesterday, because it was so long ago. I led journalism in the camp. We made 4 outputs of the newspaper. Although I did not open the talents, it was fun to share experience.
Ahead is a lot of interesting things. I promise. So many emotions and impressions, it breaks straight. I do not have time to press the keys, thoughts run faster than fingers.
