Final Reflection on Community Service

Community Service Club gave me lots of good experience. I had fun helping and i am sure kids in Little Flower Children's Home enjoyed playing with us. However, above all I earned learnings from community Service. I learned the value of service. Previously, I thought community Service as a club where bunch of hypocrites pretends to help. Obviously, i did not consider Community service club positively. Yet, as i join the club and perform the service, I learned that the act is not from hypocrisy but rather from good nature in man. After changing the way i view community service, i became more willing to help. I slowly learned to understand kids and to help them from the heart. Though kids sometimes made the work difficult, I tried to be patient. Eventually, I was able to open their mind. Secondly, I learned to collaborate with others. The work done in Community Service club is quite tough. We have to watch over the kids and grant what kids ask for.

Final Reflection on Lessons and Carol

We have finally performed Lessons and Carol in Chaepl. I feel both exhausted and energetic 2 hours of performance was quite tiring but the break after it was sweet. In this Lessons and Carol, i have discovered many things about me. First of all, i learned that i can sing. Personally, i hated going to singing room because i was shy of my voice. I thought others would laugh at my voice. However, after getting some compliment from my supervisor ma'am Julie, i became confident. Now, i am not afraid of singing
Secondly, i learned the power of collaboration and unity. Like what i mentioned in previous updates, choir only makes pleasing sound when it is together. Yet, singing together is difficult since other singer's voice can interupt. Sometimes it is even disturbing to hear. Nevertheless, through collaboration such difficulty was overcomed. Understanding between members allowed more fluent communication and increased the quality of performance.

Final Reflection on Global Issue Network (1st sem)

Global Issue Network White Coasts on Every Kid is most valuable club to me. I was one of the founder and i have gave most effort to this club. As a return, I also earned many things from this club. I would like to mention some of those in this final reflection.
First of all, I learned how valuable knowledge is. Normally, people consider me just as an academic person. Yes it is true. I don't like sports, games and social activity. I love studying. However, the Global Issue Network has changed my personality. It made me more socially active person. By me going to different communities and teach science, i learned that i can already help others with what i know. I do not have to be a successful economist or business man. I as a student can already teach and help others.
Through such experience, i learned the value of knowledge.
Secondly, i learned what it means overcome challenges. Since GIN is a new club in BISB, there were no foundation. No one knew what to do. This was our difficulty. Yet, our group and supervision Mrs. Wright did not stop working. Though we are not sure, we have worked on every aspects and try to come up with a concrete work. After all those challenges, our White Coats on Every kid has become an one of the well established club.
Thirdly, I learned how to collaborate. White Coats on Every kid is a club that requires tremendous amount of work. We have to design experiment and worksheet, find the best way to teach and guide kids. Obviously, one person cannot accomplish them. Thus, we have collaborated. We assigned roles effectively and helped one another if others needed help. The quality of work has increased amazingly! Once again the power of collaboration was great.
I believe there are still more to learn in this White Coats on Every Kid and i am ready  

Update on Community Service 4

Today was our last day in Little Flower Children's Home. There are lots of feelings coming into mind. First of all, i think i will really miss this place. Over the two month of meaningful time in this school, i have made some friends. I did quite many activities with these kids. I have cooked them food, played soccer, basketball and ice breaker together. 2 hours in Little Flower Children's home after Monday school has became a part of my life. I can't believe that i will no longer experience this.
There were lots of challenges and collaboration made during this service. I have faced challenge of understanding and being patient. I also learned that if the members of community service club help each other, we can give people much better service. For the personal learning, i learned how blessed i am. I am so grateful that i can go to school, eat 3 meals a day and sleep in warm house. Those kids in Little Flower Children House' gave me good opportunity to look back what i have.

Update on Global Issue Network 4

Global Issue Network, White Coats on Every Kid is getting concrete. Through division of work, each members surely know what he or she needs to do and are very responsible. In the process of assigning role, there were some conflict due to amount of work. Yet, members learned to sacrifice their wants and were soon harmonized again. For me, my role is to check whether the experiment that members have thought are appropriate for the kids. I put myself in a position of kids who do not really know about science and try to test if i can really understand. While doing so, i felt blessed for what i know. It also made me motivated to study harder for those who were not given opportunity to work.

The work of Global Issue Network is very satisfying to me. I feel more valuable as i use my knowledge for the benefit of society. In addition, the collaboration done in White coats on Every kid gives me little joy. I hope members to be hardworking until the very end of GIN

Final Reflection on Varsity Football

Subic Cup is over and it was tough. It was not only difficult but also demanding. During the game, our members fought as they blamed one another's mistake. Obviously the game was full of chaos in the beginning. I never knew soccer was such a difficult exercise.
However, as game went on, things got better. I and other members learned to collaborate and assign position that will make our team much stronger. Instead of mockery, we gave compliments to one another and covered mistake by running much harder. Like a comic book, as we collaborated, our team got stronger and we even made up to 2nd place. This taught me that football is not just a matter of individual but rather a cooperation.
In Varsity Football, I tackled different challenges. I had to improve my fitness, learn new skills, help others and really commit myself in it. Nevertheless, there were also lots of things that i learned. First of all, I learned to communicate in a sense that will not offend others. Soccer is a violent exercise. We get injuries and of course we get angry. In those time, blame won't work. Through soccer, i learned to communicate peacefully even in times of fight. Secondly, i discovered that i could also be an athlete. Since i was young, i loved to play computer game, not exercise. I did so because i knew that i won't be good in it. However, Varsity soccer has changed my sight. I learned that if i try, i could also make fantastic goals. Lastly, Varsity soccer taught me how to be persistent. Like what i mentioned, soccer is a difficult game. I really wanted to give up many times. But i didn't. After all, the memory are so rewarding. I learn that effort will payback in the end.

Final reflection on Model United Nation grade

The Model United Nation went to the Model United Nation Assembly held in Manila on March 9th. On MUNA conference, each of MUN members were assigned a country that he or she need to investigate on. I was chosen as the delegate of Pakistan. I had to research Pakistan's stance on Human right issue and its current situation. After researching about Pakistan, I collaborated with other MUN members from different schools and made resolutions for the Global issues. With the resolution that I came up with, MUN members debated on it and made different amendments. Despite it was my first time to join the actual MUNA conference, the support from Brent School Baguio MUN member and from local MUN members allowed me to enjoy the conference.

In the event of MUN Assembly, I had several opportunities to learn valuable lessons. First of all, by debating and lobbying with the students who I have never met with, I was able to develop my ability of making friends. Because I had to do opening speech in front of hundreds students, I was quite nervous. However, after successfully finishing the speech, I became proud of myself and learned that I could also be a public speaker. Learning and debating on global issue was fun but above all, it was experience and lessons that made me MUN valuable.
Secondly, MUN taught me the importance of broadening one's point of view. Basically, MUN is all about being other nations opinion. Thus, I had to think in a way that other nations would think. This experience allowed me to understand other people's opinion and taught me how to harmonize my idea with others.
The experience in MUN seemed as if the effort have paid off. If I did not try, I could not have made it. However, with the help of others, I continued to be engaged in MUN and finally be a proud candidate of GIN. As a whole MUN taught me the importance of commitment.
