<Focus of the Year>
In order to broaden our horizons, it is important for
students to strike a balance between studies and
extra-curricular activities. This year, I opted for
community service as my goal. However, after I
have joined a few activities, I found that my
greatest interest was in music.
Among the activities I have participated in during
the year, I believe the school choir has contributed
most to my personal growth. I have been a choir
member for three years. This year, …
<Background Details>
… I picked community services as my focus
this year... I joined a trip to the Ark
Orphanage in Sichuan from 11 to 18 August
2008. During the visit, I had the chance to
work with children who were victims of the
disastrous earthquake in May and helped out
in the orphanage. As I had been there twice
before, the children knew me quite well. The
orphanage was facing quite a lot of
problems at that time, like …
<Feelings, Thoughts & Learning>
… I had a great experience this time, as I learnt
how to care about people less fortunate than
me. I also learnt a lot about teaching children.
The teachers there taught me that lots of
patience and love are needed when working
with children. I realized how lucky I was living
in Hong Kong, with loving parents and a
brother. I also became more sympathetic
towards handicapped children …
<Feelings, Thoughts & Learning>
… On that day, I went to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre to enjoy the
performance of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. At first, I
thought their performance would be boring, but I changed my mind
just after they sang their first song. There were only twenty-six
members in the choir, but their voices could reach the whole
audience in the huge hall. Also, they didn’t need any
accompaniment. I thought they were brilliant since it was so easy to
go off key. After watching the choir’s performance, I have learnt
some musical skills, like I should tuck my tummy in when singing …
Another experience that touched me was the choir’s brotherhood.
During their performance, one of the bass singers did not feel well
and had to take a rest. Then the other members sang more loudly to
cover for him. At the end of the show, they even gave him a bunch
of flowers. The choir’s friendship and collaborative skills were shown
vividly to the audience …
