Founder's Day CIP
Hwa Chong students commemorated Hwa Chong's founder's day by doing CIP work. My class was assigned to bring elderly citizens to visit Resorts World Sentosa.
I was initially rather worried, because i did not know what i could say to the elderly. I was assigned to a woman who could only speak Cantonese, luckily i could understand Cantonese! She was very excited to meet me and soon began telling me about her childhood, how she came to Singapore and her previous visits to Sentosa.
After this trip, i learnt the importance of taking care of the elderly and how much joy a simple visit like this can bring.

What does it mean to ‘put yourself in another person’s shoes’? What personal qualities are necessary to be able to see things as someone else does?
To put myself in another person’s shoes is to see things from their point of view, and to understand something by thinking the way they do. To put myself in another person’s shoes, I need to be unbiased and not prejudiced. I need to be able not allow my own bias to cloud my judgment.

As you followed the action in the courtroom, which character did you empathize with the most?
In the courtroom, I empathized with Tom Robinson the most. He had one hand that could not be used. Furthermore, even though Atticus proved clearly that he did not rape Mayella Ewell, and that there was no way he could have done it, the other witnesses still did not admit that they were lying. In the end, even the judges made a biased decision and sentenced him as guilty.

What do you think is involved in making a fair judgment about a person or situation? Explain
I think that to make a fair decision, we need to know all the facts about the person or situation. After knowing all the facts about the person or situation, we need to consider various aspects. Firstly, we need to know the context in which the situation occurred, or how the situation came to be. Next, we need to consider the perspective from which we want to think about the person or value. Lastly, we might also need to know what other people think about the particular person or situation because we might have left out something in our judgment.

The light blue sky was being invaded by fluffy dark clouds. The emerald green sea looked so far and distant. Waves broke into white foam on the beach. A small island in the corner is the only thing that makes this scene seem real.

Essential Questions: Historical Background of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee
Knowing the background, cultural and historical background of a novel is very important. It allows us to gain a deeper understanding of message the author is trying to send. Their might also be some parts of the story that we would not be understanding, unless we know the situation when the author was writing the story.
