I can't wait for Summit so this can be over.
I've been the best leader I know how to be. I've even written apology letters to several people. Some how, I am still never right. I'm at the point where I'm about to just say "I quit. Get a new captain" because this has gotten way out of hand. No one listens to a word I say. I've had to tell one person more than once to change and they wouldn't so I figured "Maybe if I try to humble myself they'll be more respectful." So I wrote an apology letter. The response I received back was not what I expected at all and things are probably worse now than they ever were before.
There are other people who apparently think that they are the captain and not me. Apparently, I can be criticized even when it's not my fault, but if I try to give it, I am wrong.
So that's about it. Something needs to change. I've done my part and nothing is changing. So I think you can see where my frustration is coming from.

Don't be discouraged when you apologize to someone and it doesn't quite work out as hoped. Sometimes, people use apologies as means to vent on someone else. Other times, they don't feel the reconciliation until they've gotten their hurt off their chest and into the open.
I'm glad you've made that move. Never be discouraged from doing good.
Summit will be a blast, and the hard work will pay off. Something you might consider, something that I'd do if the team were having a hard time focusing, is taking one "practice night" and just making it a "fun night" without Awana games or anything. Maybe just pizza, drinks, and some fun things for everyone to do. I've found for myself that a break does more to help me focus and rejuvenate than a lot of other things.
Whatever the case, stay the course, and you'll be stoked about the result.
Marcelo, I hope you know that most of the people on the team respect you. There are people (almost everyone on the team) who have been on your side the entire year. Try to look past anyone who is disrespecting you and for the rest of the team, stay a strong leader.
Hey...I'm praying for you and this, if that counts for anything.

I'm praying for you. I know how it's like to be the leader of something and to feel like you're ready to say "I quit." Recently that's happened a lot with the AWANA band and I've been in the middle of it all. Thankfully we've gotten over it now, but every once and a while, I still feel like I'm about ready to quit. Again, I'm praying for you and counting down the days until summit.
