It has some sacrifices, that I'm not really used to yet. Everything changes...when I become a 'counselor' or a leader, not a volunteer anymore. The sacrifice is, I can't act like a volunteer anymore. Most of my time spent, won't be say, talking & chilling with my ex-didomite friends, but to be doing work and preparing for the program. Like, right now, I feel a totally different relationship change between when I 'used to be' a volunteer, and 'now', where I've taken on a more responsible role. I don't feel as close to the didomites like I used to. But AGAIN, CM leadersgip camp and retreat isn't about that! I know...but that's the 'sacrifice' I got to get used to.
It's esp different and special in my situation because...I'm only in 1st year! 1 year older than the oldest grade there. Probably not that much older. I feel like I'm part of them sometimes! And as a mentor/teacher, when things hafta get serious, I take on a different role, a different person to do what needs to be done. Almost, at times, I feel this change in relationship amongst them. I am not the same to them as I was before. That's why, this 'earthly' sacrifice; some times I don't know if I can give it up.
