Long overdued
I know I promised myself that I would write weekly. But this post is just way overdued. Well, to bring myself up to date. I’ve currently lost about 2.5kg. More or less. And to tell you the truth. I’m bored of going to the gym 3 times weekly. It’s just taking a toll on me especially since I’ve been going to the childcare center daily.
The children there are truly a spoiled bunch of brats that I’ve ever seen for a group of pitiful children staying away from their parents. In fact, they’re all so spoiled that I’ve taken off my cap to the social workers and childminders working there.
*Sighs* how I long to go back to the days before the internship. I’ve lost most of my weight at the childcare center actually…I’ve been losing my appetite these past 2 weeks thanks to those children. I don’t know they are going to make it out in the world if they don’t learn the ways of the world while they’re young.
These children have totally no respect for elders, no respect for other people’s things, no respect for themselves, in fact, they have absolutely no respect for anything. Not only that, they lack leadership skills, follower skills, responsibility, or any other skills.
What with that hovering over their heads, volunteers from far and wide have no sense of responsibility towards these children. They come and go as they like. They are, to the children, like Santa Claus every weekend. The volunteers breeze into the childcare bearing gifts and joy, happy to see the children smiling, they leave feeling happy and proud to be the bearer of those smiles.
What they don’t know is that, doing what they did just helped make the children feel special and spoiled all the more. After that, they give hell to the adults working at the childcare. Needless to mention, the children are living a heck of a better life than I ever did. They have good food, clothes, a roof over their heads, and people who come to visit them bearing gifts. All I had were bare necessities and a strict family upbringing. Not that I’m complaining of course.
:/ spending time with them is just taking a toll on my life. After the internship ends. I swear I’ll only visit them maybe once or twice a month. More than that and I’ll go into major depression…
