Siti Naqkiah Bte Adnal I want to talk about my life before CARE programme came and taught us how to behave better. This programme is really effective and it explained what we should do or not do. I’m one of the many students that joined this programme for the past three and a half years. Anyway, this is my final year I will be in secondary school. I will be taking N-level examination soon. CARE programme really changed my attitude and now I am successful in my studies. We can learn a lot of useful skills too. When I was in secondary one, I was a quiet girl. I kept everything to myself and did not share my problems with other. I used to think that I was useless and stupid. At the same time, I was also playful. I did not think about my studies and played a lot. I did not think what would happen in the future. My mother always nagged and nagged at me to change my behaviour. She was worried for me and always advised me to pay attention to my studies rather than playing around and wasting my time. My teacher advised me too. When in secondary three, I started to put in effort in my studies. I am still playful but I reduced the time I spent playing. I prefer to stay back after school doing my own revision. The CARE programme also helped me to prepare for the N-level examinations that I would be taking the following year. It helped me to choose the right courses that I would like to take in ITE. It was really useful to me. CARE had also taught us the meaning of “BOLD” (Beaver, Owl, Lion and Dolphin). Each animal has its own meaning and characteristics. The animals that represented me was owl. Owl is wise and loyal to friends. Owl takes time to accept changes. This lesson is really interesting for me and it’s so much fun learning it. CARE programme has also taught us not to smoke or drink. We also learnt what are the consequences of doing that. Other than that, we also learnt communication skills. Communication skills taught us how to speak well in public. Standing in front of the class and speaking up loud is another example. I need all these skills to make me more successful in life. Whenever I feel frustrated. I will throw out all my feelings. I did not keep it in my heart anymore. I find that it is so troublesome. I will make myself tired by playing basketball, running or anything that will make me forget the problem that is troubling me. I think it is better than doing stupid things like fighting etc. Last school term, my classmates and I went for a 3 day, 2 night camp at Pulau Ubin sponsored by CARE. We had lots of fun camping there. There are also some experiences that I would not forget. We learnt about teamwork, sharing and caring. We are supportive too. I really enjoyed the camp. Anyway, this is my first time camping at Pulau Ubin. I learnt to be an independent person after going through all this. The CARE teachers are also kind-hearted and nice. They are very friendly and treat us like adults. If we need their help, they will help us in every way. I am glad to have known them. I will not forget everything they have done for us. I hope by sharing all this it may help my friends to be successful in life. We should not waste our effort in becoming a better person. You may find it bored sometimes but you may benefit something from it. |
