CAS Reflection – Visiting Sekolah Babakan Madang 8 June 2013
On Saturday, 8 June 2013, my classmates and I went to a school called Sekolah Babakan Madang, where it is located in front of our school, Sekolah Pelita Harapan. We were divided into different groups, where each group have to teach one chosen grades, where my group who consist of myself, Nathalia, Govino, Yudhis, Fio, and Dea, were chosen to teach grade 3 students in the Sekolah Babakan Madang. We chose to teach them about simple English, combined with simple math, and at the end we asked them to dance with us. What I feel when I was doing this activity was blessed, and absolutely happy because I could help them even though it is not that big, but I believe it could change a thing. What I perceive and think about this activity of CAS was to believe that I could help them with my action. What this activity means to me myself was it was very meaningful, because helping other people was a honor to do which God teaches us to help other people. The values that I learn from this activity was to always be appreciative on what we have, because there are other people who are not as lucky as yourself. I think that the important of doing this CAS activity to myself was for me to realize how lucky I am to be studying in a good school, SPH, and also for me to realize how I should be really thankful by study more because I have the opportunity to. The important about this activity to the community was for them to also realize what other people around them who are not as lucky as them, by helping them even for just a little, because little things could cause big things. The important for the environment was that for engage other people to participate, or to have the same ideas like ours. How this CAS activity changes my perspective towards other people or the environment was to appreciate other people’s levels, and not to be satisfied and arrogant to what we have, because we could distribute the things that we have by doing this kind of CAS activity. The things that I could do to widen my awareness towards other people or the environment was to accept what other people think, and to encourage them with the facts and the benefits that we could receive, which the thing we could receive was to spread the joy and pleasure that God would give to us.
