♥ Lifesaving is different from Red Cross!!!

Are you jinxed? Or been cursed to cause any CCA you’re in charge of to be closed down? I certainly hope you will not be in charge of any other CCA after this, lest they close down and make others angry too. I seriously hope you were just talking big when you said you had learnt lifesaving before as you certainly do not realise the importance of this skill. If you had known, I don’t think the CCA would close down. I would say that you did not do anything to stop the 2 CCAs from closing down. Now there’s not going to be much first aider in the school. Did you try to make the school realise this point? I doubt so…

 

I was told that there were 3 reasons for which the 5th Meridian Lifesavers would be the last batch –

1. No achievements

2. Not enough intakes

3. To cut cost

 

Oh dear, I must have robbed that poor guy of his silver medal last year. Then Esmond must have confounded the time keeper so that he came up within top eight of his event to score points for the school. Talking about achievements, I think certain CCA that hits small balls can’t achieve anything either right?

 

Not enough intakes? That’s rubbish. ICS can run with so few members that every member held an exco positions.

 

I would think the problem lies with the school. Cut costs? Not enough intakes? Not like lifesaving costs a lot. Our CCA always had thousands of dollars of excess funds because we hardly use them. I should think the school wants to put more money into their beloved soccer team. Soccer can’t save people. More like the ball can. It floats, thus it can be used as a rescue aid. Hmm… the soccer trophy can be used to kill people… so useful…

 

So why waste money for impractical stuff such as glory? Is your chest going to grow bigger with the pride that you have no need for lifejackets anymore? You’ll just float in the water right?

 

Oh! I know! They’re going to hold more tests to stress and demoralize the students, so they need the money to print the papers! -.-“

 

Come on… like a pink panther once said: “Set your priorities right!”

 

A life is worth so much more than pride and results. I certainly hope you all know how to save yourself if you don’t want others to save you. May the force be with you all…




Oh yes, please refer to Esmond's blog for an alternate point of view. His blog can be found here
