First day of TC 2006 Senior. Finally, less Hillsong, more new songs. Only took eight photos, uploaded two.
I’ve been thinking about volunteers at TC and teams. I know that they want all of us on teams whenever we’re not doing anything, but I don’t think it’s beneficial at all for us.
For me, being on AV, I’ve barely had any time with my team at all for the past two years. Whenever I have been with my team, it’s been awkward, because everyone is getting to know one another, and I just pop in and out because I have to go to practices and stuff. This year, I think it’s worse because I’m only with them during rec and I’ve missed all of my interactions today. I must seem like a random dude that just pops out of nowhere.
That’s why I didn’t join a team at Junior. It’s totally awkward and is only really to keep us busy.
The other thing is that it’s very demanding and tiring. After doing media or worship, everyone involved is probably ready to sleep. But, what do we have after media? Rec.
So yeah, I don’t think there’s any point in putting us onto teams unless we’re going to be there at least for some interactions. I think the volunteers benefit more from interactions with their teams than rec. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have them join a team at all.
