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 Lessons and Carol 3

It is almost end and Our choir is about to perform Lessons and Carol in chaeple. I am quite nervous and worried. I am practicing almost everysingle day but still i am not confident enough. THe tenor part is so difficult to sing. The melody is odd and the songs do not make pleasant sound. I realized that choir is only worthy of hearing only when it is performed all together. I learned that i need collaboration with one another. We should be able to hear other people's voice at the sametime singing one's own. It is sure difficult but people say practice will make perfect. I think i should go for another round of singing

Update on Community Service 2

Kids love us and we love kids. The boundary is finally gone and we are open minded to one another. We can share what we feel and get help. Of course, there were also some difficulties. For example, i had to be patient because kids there were very naugthy. They liked to make pranks and tease us. I believe they wanted more attention from us. Because we understand that, we were patient.
THere were some new skills that i learned. I learned to cook!. Those kids who did not have parents had no were to get food. They were hungry and were in malnutrition. Our community service decided to cook for them and we did. It was fun and i really enjoyed it. I wish they will enjoy my servings
