Reflection

It is only a few months more before I graduate. From Grade 11, I've been doing many things and participating in so many activities for CAS. Unfortunately, I missed posting or writing about a lot of them mainly because of my laziness. At first, I thought these were not really important, so I focused my time on my subjects to get better grades. However, I realized that without these activities, my life in this school would not be interesting. So I started planning to do my blogs, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't write about them completely because of so many IB requirements to submit, tests reviews to do, tests to pass, and university applications to be done. Sometimes, I felt like giving up my life, but when I reflect on all the activities that I have done, I feel a sense of happiness because I feel that I have accomplished more in giving joy to others with my music, in visiting elementary schools where I see the smiling faces of children to give stuffs or when I played with them, in giving service to poor people who really need help, and so many more. When I think back, I remember all the hard times I went through, carrying heavy stuffs, washing instruments for the dentists, practicing, running, walking, travelling to far places, even getting nervous in doing sports and joining in bees. But I feel happy because I actually enjoyed every single activity that I joined. I also became stronger, so I will never have any regrets. These will all be my great memories of my school life in Brent. I am sure that everything I learned about myself, my strengths and weaknesses, my ability to work with others, and my training in giving service to others will all be useful for me in the future because I will be able to use all these experiences in my development and in my ability to improve the lives of other people. I am really thankful that I have this great opportunity of learning all of these things in this school.

Golf Lesson: Putting

Every Saturday, I have my golf lessons at Camp John Hay. Today, I learned how to putt in golf or how to drive the ball into the hole. My teacher also taught me when not to putt. It was a bit tough because my shooting skill is not yet perfect, but I will do my best to learn more and become better at it.

Attending my golf lessons regularly every weekend is very important for me. I have committed into making myself healthy and one way to do this is to exercise. My golf lessons give me enough exercise, making my muscles stronger, and hopefully, I can lose some weight.

Playing golf seems easy, but not really. I learn a new golf skill, a new move, or a new way every weekend, but I also learn many other things when I take my lessons in golf.  I learn a new skill and try to develop it with more practice. I also get to meet my very kind teacher who is very patient with me even if I make many mistakes. I do my best to listen to all his instructions and work cooperatively with him so that I can learn easily.
