Sandcastle Building Reflection (Ai Chuin)

This was a fun and meaningful event. I have learnt a lot about the importance of teamwork, and having faith and patience from this activity.

Before the event, I had my doubts about building a sandcastle successfully. I was glad to have the guidance from the instructors and the cooperation from my team mates which made the sandcastle building possible.

The overcast morning on that day led me to think that the event would be cancelled. However, all of us persevered on despite the slight drizzle amidst the gusts of wind. We were finally rewarded with a clear sky and a nice rainbow at the end. =)

Sandcastle building requires patience especially when it comes to laying the foundation. If it is not done faithfully and properly from the start, it won't work and all our subsequent effort will be wasted.

This is the same for teaching. It is important for us to ensure that students are able to grasp fundamental concepts right from the beginning so that they will be more well-equipped to understand what we will be teaching them susequently.

In conclusion, I would really like to thank our SWC members for taking the time and effort to organise such a meaningful activity. Kudos to all of you who made this possible!!
