Why do I Do It?

First of all, I like to do volunteer work as I can help people and in the meantime learn new things!! So I joined the RSVP club and also help to save the Earth.

My first job was to go up on the stage and I gave a speech on tetra-paks. Although it was my second time going on stage, I was quite nervous and I shivered when I faced the crowd who was staring at me as if there was something on my beautiful face=)...

So I plucked my courage and stepped in front of everyone and gave a speech. Finally it was over but I said to myself, "I did it! I did it !!!" A sense of satisfaction came over me...

Second, I was appointed to be the leader of the RSVP Recruitment. I have to work with Yong Zhi to set up the booth and decorate it. We planned so hard until the actual day. Another sense of satisfaction came over me when we saw the pledges and people who were so full of passion about Earth fill up the application forms.

Soon, the two days were over and we were all so happy to see the overwhelming response!!! We actually collected about 108 pledges!!!

To me, it is not the prize that I was waiting for but the satisfaction I get and the things I learned throughout all the activities. But of course MUST HAVE FUN!!!

Volunteering for RSVP

It was really fun and interesting to work for RSVP with my fellow classmates like Heng Yi and many more.

My first task was to give a speech on the recruiting of RSVP. As it was my first time I did not do well but I was happy that I had tried my best. Next I was one of the people in charge of the Quiz Corner.

I had to sacrifice my recess of playing soccer but I didn't mind as it was part of telling the pupils of Bukit Timah Primary School about their environment .

I was very happy when I got the adorable frog. I have learnt lots of things from this club . It is the best club in Bukit Timah Primary School so far.

My Experience as a Leader

I was very interested in RSVP immediately when Mrs Chien told us about it.

I was very excited about the RSVP big day after we had spent time and effort on the boards. We worked together as a team, coordinating well.

After the first day, many enthuastic people came with their pledges, either wanting to support us or to join us. We already surpassed our goal of reaching the amount of new members on the first day, which shows how enthusiastic BTPS pupils actually are.

I was shocked to see such a big crowd, which probably meant I wasn't really prepared for it I guess. After counting the pledges today, I realised it was actually quite a big number, 108.

This experience of being a student leader told me that it was a good thing that we worked together as a team, or it would have been hard to complete.
I hope that we could have more of such clubs in BTPS!!!! And of course, Thank you Mrs Chien for the cute froggie! ^^

My Pledge

I pledge not to make Earth like a great giant fire ball of toxic gases released with plastic like this

I promise not to let our Earth suffer from human-caused diseases such as Ozone layer depletion and global warming
(Although I don't think I can, I will try my best)

I will not let Earth become a shrivelled ball like this.
