Kern Hong: My Personal Reflections.....

Well, I feel that we have accomplished much. Yes! We have accomplished MUCH! No matter what anyone says. We, as a team, have done well and have been trying our very best to make perfect this project.

As for my own task and responsibilities, I feel that I have tried my very best and have given out my best in my roles and things that are assigned to me. Despite my busy schedule with badminton…and more badminton, I am satisfied with what I have accomplished so far. The planning of events…distributing flyers…pasting posters on the stall…the burger launch…interviewing with the press…

As a team, we have organized ourselves well and are still improving. Compared to the start of term, when we were still not settled down and not familiar with the project, we have done much better in our work distribution and time management.

All that we have done, especially the burger launch, have spread much awareness to the students of our school. Now, I believe that the school is more aware of the food they eat.

Throughout this project, I think that I have learnt much. This includes mainly of team work and taking our roles and responsibilities seriously. I learned that when even ONLY one of our members does not contribute, the whole thing stops progressing.

Service learning is a good thing for students to do. Students get to expose themselves to the community and learn how to interact with them, solving problems and facing challenges along the way.

However, these projects ought to be FUN!... Not something that you dread doing, right? In my opinion, these projects should be more flexible and should concentrate LESS on final reports and documented stuff. They should NOT be so straight and have too many guidelines. As long as the students mind and heart are onto it, they can be considered as doing WELL.

OVERALL, I think that I HAVE DONE WELL…. But there will always be room for improvement. So I guess that I just have to continue to work hard and try to contribute as much as I can to this project.

Lastly, I just want to say in a polite manner, that we are students. Much is expected from us in many areas, and sometimes we just can’t be good in everything. We have many responsibilities and many roles to play and we need to balance our time and concentrate in those that we are weak at.

As a sportsman, I have been busy in my trainings and tournaments. It’s the season and I need to prepare well for it. At the mean time, I….don’ have enough time or energy to put our fullest commitment into this project. It’s HARD! But as the season starts to end, I PROMISE that I will give my very best and contribute more to this project.

Hope that everyone who is involve in this project in one way or another, understands the situation that I am going through, especially my teammates and my teacher mentor. Hope you all understand….

That’s all from me….............................
