Hi all! I’m back! This would be my third blog entry, I am going to share about my Cca. You all had to select your Cca last year,so what did you choose? Tennis? Uniformed groups? Or Chess Club? Whatever Cca it is, I am sure you have truly enjoyed your past one year with your Cca members and forged new friendships with others. Well, I’ve joined table tennis, toghter with my classmates- Sheng Wei and Kwan Meng. I am so glad I have made the right choice. Although I must admit I am not a good player, but at least I have found joy and laughter there, making close friendships with the other players. My friendships with Sheng Wei and Kwan Meng have developed to a deeper level and we have learned to understand each other better, undoubtly because of the time we spent with each other and the memories we shared that cannot be achieved between classmates.
We have also developed a close friendship with our seniors despite the age difference and them spending most of the times with players of the same age. When I first joined table tennis, I had difficulties playing well as I had not practised for half a year! However, through our devoted coaches’ trainings and my seniors’ constant encouragement, I have learned to play well. But in my opinion, I do not find that playing well is everything that matters, all that matters is that you have 4 years of fun in your Cca. Playing well is just to demostrate how much you have learned in your years in that particular Cca, and to let your coaches appreciate the hard work that you have put in, also to bring glory to your school. But having fun is totally different, you first must find joy in your Cca before playing well. If you can play well, but you do not enjoy attending the Cca meetings, what is the point of playing well?
Once a week, we would have to go through Physical Training (PT) where we would exercise rigourously or non-rigourously, frog-jumps, running or soccer are some of the exercises. And also through these exercises, we learned to appreciate each other more in team games such as soccer. Nobody is left in the lurch when teams are formed, just because he cannot play well. And during the game, every attempt in shooting or clearance is appreciated even though it does not suceed. We would never blame anyone when a goal is conceeded too. From this blog entry, I hope that you have taken one important lesson back home and not think of it like a merely relating a Cca. You should learnt to appreciate your 4 years in your Cca fully, together with the other members. One year has flew away already, and the rest of the 3 years would pass even faster. I hope you would not learn to appreciate your Cca members only at the end of 4 years. Start to appreciate your Cca peers now!
