after two years of hard (and heart) work, pushing the teams into top eight... we are one of the five schools that stayed in top eight... so i can safely say that we are one of the top five debating colleges in singapore... i am ready to leave everything behind and move on...
why?
i'm disappointed... the students don't seemed at all interested or motivated to put in any quality in their routine training. yes, granted that the main competition season is over, but that does not mean that we just rest on our laurels and not strive to improve... second week in a row, i have heard nothing but trash on the debating floor... pure crap! to think that each team had competition speakers on them... debators that i invested my sweat and blood into... yet the material they offer is shameful... what did i do wrong? what happened to the passion and love for debating?
i'm disillusioned... ever since the three stooges took over, nothing has gone smooth. i have to train my team like some underground spy force. they want to claim the glory but are unwilling to put in any effort to better the society... i receive emails with no word of appreciation but dripping with undercurrents... why do i even bother? i should just view the whole thing as a paying job... do what i need to, then scoot... like someone commented today, it's ironic how someone from acjc is putting in so much effort and the teachers cannot be bothered... yes, save your own skins and your little behinds... after all, that's all you care about anyway...
time to start afresh, at least i know that i can whip teams into shape in under two months... sometimes love just ain't enough...
