Lessons and Carols 2015

I participated in the Lessons and Carols at the school chapel. This is done at Brent School every December, and I am very honored to have played in this orchestra. We played many different Christmas carols and  we accompanied songs sang by the choir. There were many people who attended, and I was happy that my parents were there, too. Joining the Lessons and Carols is a wonderful thing, because we don't only get to enjoy it, but we are also able to make many people happy on Christmas.

For me, this activity has teaching me many things. I have joined even in the previous years, so I am getting to develop my music skills whenever we learn new pieces. Practicing after school is very challenging, especially because there is a lot of homework to be done, but I am always glad to accept the challenge because of my love for music.  I grow more aware of my strengths and weaknesses in playing the violin, so I get to improve myself and be better at it. It is also important for me to not only be committed to this task, but also to work collaboratively with my group, because if I don't, then it is impossible for us to have great harmony.

Playing Golf

I played in the golf field at Camp John Hay today. I played with my classmate, Christy, and we had a great time. I applied the skills that I have been learning from my golf instructor, and he said I did very well with my moves. It is fun to get into sports like golf. This gives me the opportunity to exercise for my health while having fun.

I was able to initiate and plan this activity with my friend and neighbor, Christy, who was willing to spend time in the field with me. Playing golf and applying all the skills I have learned so far gives me the chance to be more and more aware of my strengths and weaknesses in this activity. It is challenging, especially when playing with a very good opponent. I learned that if I persevere and stay committed and not quit in the middle of the game, I can learn more and be better at this sport.  Playing with Christy has also given me the chance to develop my skills, because I can learn from her the things that I still don't know, and she can learn from me, too.
