Reflctions

I am missing out on on small things such as cleaning my room and self exercise as i have not enough time to does tasks. Sometimes to relieve my stress, i play some Xbox games. But once i start, i find it very difficult at times to stop playing the game. Especially when i have just bought a new game. I also have an urge to keep updated on my friend's activities on Facebook and will stop doing my work at home to check what they are doing. I feel like i should better plan my schedule so that my life is in better order and take notes of what to remember in life.

I think that i should have put my arm more parallel to the ground. However, overall, i think i did okay.

Lead yourself - Personal Management reflections

I think that i am the type of person who is good at starting things, this is so because i always set goals for myself but end up forgetting them or giving up halfway, so much so that it feels as if there is a sword dangling over my head. I need to accomplish all the homework or as much as i can so as to make my day feel like a success.

Reflections on Great Leaders

A person of good character looks like a person with an approachable look, carries him or herself very well and has good manners. To become a person of character, one must first be responsible and have good manners and self judgment. They must also be honest and polite so as not to ruin their image. Others say that my character is helpful and hardworking at times but playful and childish at other times. I would like to become more polite and well mannered as sometimes i tend to do something wrong and embarrass myself.

Communications

1 Why is communication important?

Communication is important because without it, we cannot tell tell others what we are trying to tell them.

2 What is/are your favourite form/s of communication? Why?

My favourite form of communication is face to face because I can tell the person’s feelings through their facial expressions, voice and body language. That way i know when I am talking too much and stop to prevent the person from getting bored.

3 How do you decide which form of communication to use in a situation?

I decide which form of communication to use by seeing if the other person can be seen. If that person can be seen, most likely i will be able t communicate with him or her. If that person cannot be seen, I will use non-verbal communication such as SMS or MSN to converse with him or her.

4 What difficulties do you face in communicating with others?

I do not face any difficulties when communicating with someone face to face but when i am communicating with someone non-verbally, i cannot tell how they are feeling as they might hide their feelings. Sometimes, I cannot explain to someone what i want to tell him as i cannot show him what i mean.


Orientation Camp Reflections

What are the three main points (or more) that you had learnt from all the activities?
1. I learnt that our class is like a machine, each individual is like a gear. All it takes for the machine to break down is for one of the gears to fail. This shows that each individual is important and has his or her role to play.
2. We should stop complaining when we are doing chores for other people because on the the other hand, someone else is also doing chores for us.
3. We should participate in all activities even though it may seem tedious or difficult because you might still learn from the experience.
All these pointers can be useful when we are doing work in class.

If you have to have another chance to try all the activities, which one will you choose? Why?
I will try the rock wall again because I did not make it as high as i wanted to go to so I would like another chance to try again.

If there is one thing you would like to change about yourself, what would that be?
I would like to change how picky i am with food. At the camp, the food was not to my liking but I had no choice but to eat it because if i did not, i would go hungry. This has thought me how privileged i am with good food like McDonalds to eat.

Amazing Race Personal Reflections

I understand that one of the school values, 'Expanding Our Learning Network', means that to learn more, we might have to think out of the box, and this, in a way, will let us expand our knowledge. At SST we are independent learners. This means that we will have to keep expanding our knowledge to keep up with studies and work. We can also learn from our mistakes and other fellow student's successes. That is why expanding our learning network is is important.
