33. In order to broaden our horizons, it is important for students to strike a balance between studies and extra-curricular activities. This year, I opted for community service as my goal. However, after I have joined a few activities, I found that my greatest interest was in music. Among the activities I have participated in during the year, I believe the school choir has contributed most to my personal growth. I have been a choir member for three years. This year, …

34. … I picked community services as my focus this year... I joined a trip to the Ark Orphanage in Sichuan from 11 to 18 August 2008. During the visit, I had the chance to work with children who were victims of the disastrous earthquake in May and helped out in the orphanage. As I had been there twice before, the children knew me quite well. The orphanage was facing quite a lot of problems at that time, like …

35. … I had a great experience this time, as I learnt how to care about people less fortunate than me. I also learnt a lot about teaching children. The teachers there taught me that lots of patience and love are needed when working with children. I realized how lucky I was living in Hong Kong, with loving parents and a brother. I also became more sympathetic towards handicapped children …

36. … On that day, I went to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre to enjoy the performance of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir. At first, I thought their performance would be boring, but I changed my mind just after they sang their first song. There were only twenty-six members in the choir, but their voices could reach the whole audience in the huge hall. Also, they didn’t need any accompaniment. I thought they were brilliant since it was so easy to go off key. After watching the choir’s performance, I have learnt some musical skills, like I should tuck my tummy in when singing … Another experience that touched me was the choir’s brotherhood. During their performance, one of the bass singers did not feel well and had to take a rest. Then the other members sang more loudly to cover for him. At the end of the show, they even gave him a bunch of flowers. The choir’s friendship and collaborative skills were shown vividly to the audience …
