It was not about what I have learned, but it was about the huge amount of wonderful friends I met and how we get on so well together, beyond my expectation.
On the first day, I brought my badass attitude and my classic zombie eyeliner to scare people off to the Athena room at TOS. It was unsurprising that there were no people at the same age as mine, except Thuỳ Linh the Turtle, the very first friend I had been with since I was confident about the two primary-schoolish pigtails, but I give no attention toward her (until I discovered that she established the Wolves Ghost League). The rest is generally two to five years younger than me, so guess what, determinedly I am the oldest member of the camp.
There were 39 campers, 4 teachers, and some supervisors who reminded me of my old splendor era of public-school intelligence.
I was soon called to my team, the team with the blue heart icon which consists of 9 members, the Survival. I liked to call it "Survivor of The Riches", because New Americana has stuck in my head since Dana got into Halsey. At first, I did not expect anything big from these people because they are all shy af that I realized that I am not the shyest person on earth. As the least shy person in the group, I volunteered to be the team leader because there were no other candidates. Yay.

Sâuhawk and the team slogan: "Conquer them all because if you lose, nobody cares" - mainly designed by me in 5 minutes of hope.
Then, a magical thing happened. I applied the majestic rule of gravity into my thoughts (which I recently discovered from Rhonda Byrne's The Secret), and everything happened 99% accurate to my imagination. We earned a huge amount of flags; we mastered every life skills assignment; we won almost every sport activity even I am totally terrible at everything. I just stood at the goal, be a frozen goalkeeper and hope that my team will score a point. Only one point for the last 3 minutes.
See, I (in the turquoise pants) am a sucker at sport, but my art is vibrant.
Survival made me proud. An affection was dedicated to the team, to every single member.All of them are interesting and fit my type. Butterbean Grace, my favorite girl, was a Pony lover, a great artist, and a talented singer. I loved listen to her hitting high and low notes with her vocal skillzzz and provide her some decent accompaniments. I still remember the crybaby Hiển, who overreact to every joke the team made abour him, in a cute way. Bách, who I talked to the most, was actually a metalhead! He listens to all my favorite death metal and hardcore bands, except for some "pussy, popularized" metalcore bands, as he . He told me that he hated SU, and I am the only motivation for him to finish the damn race. Me too. The content was terrifying, but people are great.
Horns up! Hail to the King! (Bach and Me faceswap)
The worst part about SU was sitting motionlessly in the air conditioned room listening to lecturers who explain things with unattractive examples and tried to hard to be funny. Worse is we have to take a nap right after lunch, as a lesson of "respecting the public atmosphere". Wow, no one was sleepy, we all wanted to stay awake with our friends. Even the last day, when we only have a few hours left until the end of SU, we were forced to take a nap. But I followed my heart. I stayed awake and spend the last moment with my family.
We opened an UNO casino on the back seats of the school bus. Whenever we go on a long trip, the casino would be full of players. I must say, lots of fun. We had a chance to cook a meal for the whole team together. Although we did not win the first prize, we cooked with our passion, with patience, with survival skillzzz, of course. Personally, that meal was the best meal I have ever eaten at school.

And doing charity is fun too!
Time gone by, and I felt an unbreakable bond between me and all other members. Only 9 days for the part 1, and that was too short for such an amity team like Survival. Mrs. Hue, one of the 4 teachers, said that if we joined Step Up part 2, we will be able to get in the same group as the part one.
But she lied.
The first morning of SU 2 was a shocking moment for me and the remaining members of glorious Survival. The team was broken, meaning my family was now my nemesis, and that made us almost cried. We begged Mrs. Huệ for the old team placement, but she disagreed because, "you need get used to every situations". So sad. Then I realized that only Survival were sad because we had become a family. I hated my new team, not because of them, but it was a war in my heart.

Ex Survivals are bored and drained after the partition
Actually, the new team, Xplorers, was more active and creative than Survival. Therefore, conflicts were born. I am no longer a Communist team leader. The team was then totally democracy. Yay. But I had a good time with those witty people. I found a SU version of my mom, who complaint about my fat figure and acted exactly like my genetic mom. She has a good calligraphy skill, even she was only in grade 5. Everything got better when there were a no electronic devices challenge on the last two days of the camp (more specific in the next blog).
SU Mom as an enthusiast cheerleader
Something I realized after the entire process of surviving and exploring is I am a great leader, I put too much enthusiasm into my work so that I miss my teams, my glorious yesterday of Survival, my SU Mom, the UNO back seats, the hilarious photographer who captured all my best-looking moments, and all members of the Wolves Ghost League.
Too much love was given that day.
