oh i should ask my mom if her school’s summer camp is opening up and accepting camp counselor job apps again i would like to once more be a questionable role model for a bunch of rich and sheltered christian children
#i don't think all of them are rich-rich? at least not the local kids#the international kids are ofc typically rich#when my sister had this job she said a kid once handed her $700 to hold as she bought some trinket from the gift shop#and also every week they go to a different theme park like knott's or disneyland so it's like hoo baby#i only went to knott's bc i was a part-time first year paid worker and i had to take someone else's place that day#but it was rlly fun i was always put in charge of the international students bc i speak snippets of chinese#which is why i can say with confidence that fifth grade boys from mainland china are typically the twerpiest#not 2 be far 2 proud of my taiwanese heritage on main but there was a very palpable difference#btwn the international kids coming in from taiwan and the international kids coming in from china#honestly tho every group has their good and their bad but in the scale of twerpdom fifth grade mainland china boys. at the bottom#mainland china girls could be pretty twerpy too but i guess they're more covert abt it#idk i kind of miss having a bunch of kids latch onto my every limb and speak too fast for me to understand#i think my sister kind of resented being 'The ESL Counselor(tm)' bc 1. it highlights our lack of language skills#and 2. she was trying to have a normal social life with the other counselors and actually bond with children she could talk to#she also doesn't like kids as much as i do probs bc she had to deal w/me growing up lmao#so where i can get along p well w/children bc i'm unafraid of allowing myself to be childish and having fun w/my position#she probably felt a lot more responsibility. and also bc the head supervisor until my year had a huge stick up her ass#i met her once when she came to visit when i was supervising lunch and she scolded me for resting my elbow on the trash can#and also eating the food kids were gonna THROW AWAY C'MON LADY#is it unprofessional? massively. is professionalism a scam and illusion? 100% that food was going in the garbage#i am GOING to take at LEAST one chicken tendie#oh i also had to specify 'part-time first year paid worker' bc they also ran on high school volunteers from the school itself#it basically covered all their annual mandatory volunteer hours#one of them was like barely fourteen i think and she was a twerp she was too hard on the kids#one time there was this kid who liked to hold onto my arm and i didn't mind bc he was in my group#and she was just like 'let go of miss hua' and pulled him off and i was like 'excuse me he was happy and i am fine with this' in my head#the worm speaks#man okay so i guess i do have a lot to talk abt w/that summer n my thoughts on it it just doesn't come up a lot huh
