Chinese chat
A month has passed since I have joined the Chinese chat. I am currently partnered up with a G7 student, Kate. She’s in a position where no one in her family speaks Chinese so she can only practice it in school. Being in a similar place, I know how it feels to be struggling, especially […]
Chinese Chat
I have decided to join Chinese Chat as it allows me to help younger students who are struggling and in need of extra support. They may not have anyone to speak with at home which can be challenging when learning Chinese as it can be hard to improve on it if you could only practice […]
Netball
It has officially been my first week of netball training and I have missed it. Having done netball since I was 7, I’ve grown up playing it and due to COVID, we weren’t allowed to have any trainings so I am grateful for this opportunity. I thought I would be slightly rusty after not playing […]
Showcase
Having only 8 weeks (1 rehearsal per week) before the actual show, we had many after-school rehearsals. They began as early as 9 am and ended as late as 1 pm. Dancing for 4 hours is not only fun but extremely tiring as you start to lose your energy. That also means that 4 hours […]
AMK minds
It’s been half a year since I joined AMK minds. Although it’s not exactly how it was supposed to be due to Covid-19, I really enjoy planning videos for them. It’s quite hard because we can’t physically be with them so the best we can do is try to be very enthusiastic and keep the […]

I’m really happy to be doing something that will benefit a cause. One of […]
Sailing
Sailing is an activity that I participate in with my family over the weekends. We have races on either Saturday and Sunday. Sailing is a very competitive sport. There’s never a dull moment. You always try to make the boat go faster. Every second count. Over the weekend, there were 2 boats in my class […]
2020 Brazil Culturama
Culturama has been such a fun experience although it was done virtually. In this dance, we performed to a more upbeat song as if we were in a carnival. As I did not have much experience in dancing to that style, it was challenging as energy was very important in this dance. No matter how […]
Movement and fitness with AMK MINDS
I joined this service as I like helping people. Last year I did YMCA which is helping young kids learn about the arts. I decided to do something different this year but in the same category which is why I choose AMK MINDS. I like doing fitness which is another reason why I choose it. […]
