Reflections on Service Learning Day
This monday, it was our service learning day. All the secondary ones set up stalls and they sold food, drinks and some even set up games. Our stall were very different from the others and it was a haunted house. As you know, a haunted house is a house filled with ghosts. Our class pupils all contributed and acted like ghosts while some of them were the operators. All the ghosts put on make-up and the most realistic "ghost" was Xing Qin. She was a "Ju-on" and she looked really scary.I was also a "Ju-on" with Xing Qin and Jing Pin. Although Jing Pin's make-up was not the most realistic, he looked very cute in his make-up. I felt that my make-up was the ugliest because Yuan Xuan made me look like "Batman". I had no choice but to go and wash off all my make-up and ask Xin Yan to help me to make-up.
Our "Haunted House' was prepared on Saturday and on the actual day, Monday. I could not go to help on Monday and I really felt very ashamed of myself. However, I helped out in the preparation on the actual day. I helped to put lightsticks, control the flying head and others. Although I know it was not much, I really hoped I had contributed in a way. I feel that the service learning project was very successful as we had earned a lot of money. We earned over three hundred dollars and I found that it was a lot. Although Miss Thor's vase broke halfway through the project, the others were all fine.From this experience, I learned that teamwork is very important for a group. Without teamwork, a group would be very disorganised and united, causing quarrels or even fights to happen between them.
From this service learning project, I learnt that my friends were very caring, responsible and united. The welfare officers also showed care and compassion by helping those who are afraid out of the CD shelter.Our class were also very responsible in what they should do and they helped one another with problems faced.I found that 1E6 was a very enthusiastic class and I really loved joining 1E6.
