Upon reaching the Delta Senior School, I was confident yet a bit nervous of socialising with the people there. As we walked into the school, the cheerful students there gave us a warm welcome by greeting us with a J. Their actions made me feel that they are not any different from us. They greeted and smiled at us even though they did not know us then, in which not many of us would do. As we headed to their school field, some of the students stood right in front of us to just give a wave. Although it was not a usual thing for someone to do, I felt really welcomed and this made me realise that by just giving someone a simple action, it can really make your day. From then on, I started giving handshakes to the students there and making new friends.

The best thing that happened to me was something that was insignificant to others. I was playing a game of floorball at first and the students there were really enjoying themselves and having fun. While I was trying to clear the ball with my stick, I lost grip and my stick dropped on the floor. As I was trying to pick it up, one of the students actually grabbed the stick before me and passed it back to me. I was really touched by her action and this made me realise what good have I done to other people on the court when I play floorball in school. However, the worst thing that happened to me during the trip was when I accidentally tripped one of the students there while playing a game of football. As I tried to offer a help by sticking my hand out to him, he got up by himself and continued playing. His actions made me feel that although sometimes people may not appreciate your help, life goes on and you just have to be well-aware that you did the right thing.

In the near future, I would really love to involve myself in such community service events as it has really thought me lessons that cannot be attained from school. However, I would like to participate in different kinds of activities so that the lessons learned can vary. From this service-learning trip, I have learned to not be judgemental of the people around me and sometimes, there are many more kind people that we have yet to know around us.
