#624; and when we're gone, we'll still be a trying and a singing this song

I think what makes this March Camp so much more different from all the previous camps is the love that's floating around even after it's already over. I don't know what we did or how it happened, but this March Camp let so many people grow- closer together, and yet as individuals.
This camp reminded me yet again how amazing b11atch is- how even though we may not be the closest of friends to all of them individually despite having our closest friends in guides, there's somehow this easy feeling of comfort and security around each other, and the feeling that they'll always be there to help you, no matter what. Batch heart-to-heart on the second night was amazing- all our little insecurities and worries and troubles just came spilling out, and everybody just helped. Nobody judged; it was purely the strongest desire to help each other, in order to help guides. And everyone was so focused on the issues cropping up in the junior batches, their patrols and how to fix it. It's just like what was mentioned during batch talk on the last day, this year, we really were working towards a common goal, whether we knew it or not.
And this year, nobody kept running back to b11atch, like last year. I loved how everything KPA wanted us to change/grow into just happened so naturally that camp- forgive me if I say b11atch did a marvelous job of senioring the patrols, and yet, at the end of the day, just like it was promised a year ago, we could still return to each other and feel completely at ease.
And to our amazing, amazing, amazing juniors-
Sec 3s: You guys have grown so much this year, and I don't know if you've noticed it. I don't really know how to say this, but you've turned into seniors, and real good ones at that. Thank you for taking care of Guides when we're not around, thank you for giving us reason to put a little more trust into you stepping up in three months. :)
Sec 2s: I guess we may not have seen it yet, but I trust that you guys are getting so so much closer. It actually is getting more obvious- with all your little circles and your lovely batch photo circulating on facebook. Your batch reminds me a lot of my batch actually, with all the cliques that somehow manage to flow into each other and become... one :) Be good seniors, won't you :)
Sec 1s: Y'all are the cutest juniors we could have ever asked for :) I don't know if you guys know this (if you ever read this) but when a bunch of you burst into the stream song it made b11atch so so so happy because the J1s taught us this and somehow we've been the only batch in love with it and it's just so heartwarming to know that even as we leave there'll be another song-obsessed batch, possibly. I love how you guys let yourselves love Guides so easily, and thanks for being such a happy little junior batch we'll never forget :)
And to B11ATCH: I love you, I love you, I love each and every one of you.
