RV60 Reflections

The purpose of celebrating RV60 is to celabrate RV's birthday. It is also for the alumni to come back and look at the school after they had graduated. However, we faced many issues when we were practicing for RV60. For example, many of us had to come back almost every day for practices and we could barely enjoy our holiday, also spending less time with our family. The practices are also often in the sun and it had been really hot despite being at already 3pm. Also, some of us live very far  awat from school, causing us to reach home at around 8pm. However, we still have to finish our homework and some of us still have other activities like tuition or some other classes. Thus, many of us were very tired and sleepy in school, not being able to pay full attention during lessons.This issues are unique to this situation  as other situations, not most of the students are invovled. I think that people volunteer to help out for national day as they are proud of Singapore and wanted to do a part in celebrating this special day, showing their love for the country. The students in this school does have school pride but they did not realise that as most of them are complaining about being tired. However, on the actual day, most of us started to realise that they are proud of the whole celebration, proud that RV had became 60 years old, as thatis not an easy feat. I am sure most of us felt a sense of pride when we were performing, and when the audience clapped for us. From this inference, I am assuming that the performers had enjoyed performing for the audience. Students should not view negatuvely towards their own school because it would be the school that they will spend few years of their lives in, it would also be the school where you had chosen when you wrote down your choices after PSLE. Also, the school had nutured us, teaching us not only studies, but also manners and things like that. If we view negatively towards our own school, we would not enjoy the years we had spent in the school also, we would feel unhappy and these few years that we would spent in the school would be a torture. We all want to have memorable memories during our school life and we should like our school and appreciate what it had done for us, being grateful. Being a student in RV, I feel proud because it is a school that many students had wanted to enter. Also, it provides good education and a good study environment. I am proud that I have teachers who are willing to spend time to help us when we do not understand some things that were taught in class. I feel very grateful and happy to be a student in RV.
