My Glee Club

After finishing Glee: Complete Season One and watching its season Finale, my tears rolled out in the cheek. The song To Sir With Love had touched the very core of my passion, and at that time I was reminded to my own experience, coaching my own "Glee Club".

I already found out since the very first time watching Glee, that this is a story I can connect myself too. I did have the experience of handling underdog team, SEDC.

Just like Glee, SEDC was nothing. I only got few members, and we never won any competition at my first year of coaching. The school gave us nothing, and we had to try hard to sponsor ourselves. Most of the time, transportation became an obstacle, and the coaches had to escort the members to the competition. Not to mention refreshment and calling credit. Meanwhile, the payback was not that much (financially, but not emotionally).

The Sue Sylvester figure was also there for us. She kept trying to sabotage us in various competitions, making us lose in a completely unfair matter. And just like the character, it was (finally known to be) done out of jealousy. The first year was just another crash and burn. Most of the time, we got beaten up in our last step.

However, as the world turned, we managed to secure ourselves several positions. And from that time, we grew bigger and seized some spotlights at school. And that's how my "glee club" went from nothing to something. Guys, I'm proud of you.
