3H Gabriel Tan (35)

Service-learning has caused me to realise that living as humans is to help one another, all for a better life. Service-learning experience has indeed changed me in a few aspects. I have learnt to treat others, myself and the community with equal respect. With respect come new friendship, and a better quality of life. My thinking towards others, myself and the community has shifted from the self-centred thinking in the past to a spare-a-thought-for-them thinking. This has enabled me to interact with people amiably. The way I carry out actions to them and I also revolved in the spare-a-thought-for-them thinking. The best experience that happened to me would be the social interaction I got involved with the elderly. This experience yields a learning point for me. Personally, I believed that the elderly wants proper care and to be still able to learn with support, though they do not exhibit it. This has got thinking that the young people like me would all grow old. We will then want what all elderly wants. Yes, we have to offer support to liven up their twilight years. Upon entering my college and adult years, I will still stay involved in the community. To take care of your parents when they aged would be a natural thing. So, why not go offer your resources, be it mental of physical, to those really in need. Stretch out and teach them new things! We all want to be enriched right?!
