~:[CH6 - Day 295]:~ Powering Through

It was a challenge for many to wake up after Homecoming and even more of a challenge to be in committee all day, however, they did it. They did a pretty good job all things considering. We had a small group of less than 40 students, which is a small group for us. However, they still managed a solid amount of awards and even more importantly, did a good job representing our school. As I saw them together, I kept thinking about how they all learn and grow together. While many of them may not still talk as much as they do now ten or twenty years down the road, it still is a great thing to make the kind of connections you do through MUN and other school activities. It's great to grow and learn with each, share the same struggles, celebrate the same successes, and to ultimately help each other along the way. As exhausted as they may all have been, I think they also powered each other up, giving them the energy to make it to the end of the day. I was also pooped by the time I got home, as I couldn't keep my eyes open to finish up all my work, however, I was content with what I finished and so I decided to turn in early. These kinds of weekends are killer on the mind and body, but when I think back, I wouldn't change it because as tiring as it is, it's an investment into these students who pay me back with all the precious memories that time, money and energy cannot buy and that's what keeps me powering through.
