ever wondered why our juniors don't have the red cross spirit?
like how we used to all feel this pull to come for red cross every week even though we are sometimes sick, how we don't want to be casualties and take part in punishments even though we are not 100% well. How easy it was for us to look up to and respect our seniors. It was something that they didn't have to ask of us, do you remember?
what about now?

why do you think they don't have the red cross spirit?
who is leading them now?
do we have the red cross spirit?

After all the sombre passing of roles from one batch to another, didn't it feel like something was amiss. As if something that belonged to the previous batch had left with them. Doesn't it feel that way?

Is it really the juniors fault for not knowing how to love red cross?
Or is it because, we haven't been showing them...

I myself, even as a senior now, don't feel the need to be there for them.
But still i drag myself there every single thursday, because i've seen a difference in a few of them, a difference strong enough to remind me of how much fun all this used to be.

Something is missing.
This cca is just a cca.
There's no spirit of love for it anymore.

Remember how in sec1, we blamed ourselves for the dismiss of punishments which left our seniors in tears, how we were afraid to lose the bond from within our level due this minor setback, do you remember?
I complained that we could have been like the guides without punishments, but then, i was wrong.

The guides have a love for their cca, for what they do.
What about us?

We are worse than them.
Clearly.

If we can't show the juniors how to love red cross, how can they love it too?
Just by saying it out loud, and acknowledging that they don't have a love for it doesn't change anything.

You know what else.
We, as a level, have no bond.
You might say i'm wrong, and that's fine with me.
But really, look at yourselves, the way we treat each other.
Tell me, there's no cooperation and love in this level, not anymore.
There used to be.


What happened to it?

(haha, now i shall wait, for someone to tell me, "Jacq, take that post down, it's not right of you to post things like that on your blog". Ha. Ha. I shall wait in all jaded cynicism there is, for the hypocrite to throw these words upon me. It's like whipping someone with a feather. Nothing, no...nothing at all.)
