Finally managed to have the very first meeting with my debate team after quite a long planning. It was mainly a student-led one (two of them), in-charge of ice-breaking games and running the ‘debate’. At McDonald’s. Surprisingly, it turned out alright.
What struck me to share this was during the three favourite things that we have to list down and share. We’ve got themselves, sports, peculiar things like water at 3am, reading, idols, family and friends. And I realised that my favourite things have changed. Perhaps it’s because they’re my responsibility and routine that I didn’t include them. Instead, I focused on myself. To an extent, I’m the same as another kid of mine, citing him, ‘to love others, first we need to love ourselves’. My three things are soup-based food (ramen, kimchi jiggae, etc.), Stitch (family-oriented, mischievous, destructive but can be cute; unwanted experiment because he’s created to cause chaos yet prove his worth and granted to stay) as well as Harry Potter (friendship, values and not giving in to the dark force).
I observed and participated. Potentials definitely and can be nurtured into a formidable one definitely. But , will they top the pioneers (Lin, Kess, Pok, JZ) who brings glory to the school with the first runner up upon first time joining? We shall see.
Badminton time!
Cheers
Quick reflection
