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!!!
