Her hard work and perseverance contributed to the college clinching the certificate of distinction at the 2013 Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (Concert Bands). During rehearsals, she worked hard to improve her skills. She demonstrated good time management skills in managing her Symphonic Band commitments and studies, especially during the competition period when she had practices up to 5 times a week. She was also actively involved in her pursuit of music and participated in the biennial concert of the Symphonic Band, Aureus Experentia XV. Li Yin further honed her communication and interaction skills when the band participated in two Local Exchanges, one with the Hin Hwa High School from Malaysia, and another with the Symphonic Band from Ping-
Jen High School (Taiwan). She was also involved in other events such as the college Open House and Co-Curricular Activities Bazaar where she promoted the Symphonic Band enthusiastically, showing her passion and dedication.

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to act selflessly and always attempt to best represent my community. The Larner COM commitment to service aligns with my philanthropic views of healthcare. In my experience volunteering at a local homeless clinic, we ask each patient: “If you could not have come here, where would you have gone?” Many patients’ answer is nowhere. The involvement that students maintain in the local Community Health Center of Burlington provides an opportunity to work with populations similar to those I have assist in Colorado.…

    Through CFJ I have led students in service in multiple service work as we serve those who are marginalized. My service work is a form of unselfish leadership because it is unpaid and requires hard work, intentionality, patience, solidarity, and understanding. In addition, it also requires education as we educate participants who we lead and serve with. Through CFJ, I have served as an Alternative breaks site leader, Lydia's House site leader and served in the X-change program as a site coordinator at Homework club, Evanston, and St. Vincent DePaul. I do all these because it is the universal good of the world as it gives those who we serve joy and happiness as they feel that they are loved in the…

    Our service projects were based at an orphanage centre in a remote town. The living environment was of very poor quality - no air-conditioning, no proper bathrooms and no tap water. However, I forgot all my unpleasant feeling of Cambodia at the moment I met the adorable orphans. Most of them were skinny with dirty clothes on and without shoes on their feet. They were all excited to see visitors come and cheered with joy. Their innocent smiles deeply impressed me. It was hard to communicate with the kids in words because of language barrier but this problem was solved through simple hand gestures, body language and smiles. We taught them simple English and played games with them. It was hard to describe how much the orphans enjoyed to have our companionship. It was love and care which broke the barrier among people and brought unity. They played an important role to light up the lives of others and brought more happiness than other materials could do in life.…

    In spite of its imperfections, the world is not as apathetic as it can be. In the midst of the insensitive nature of the society, there are still those people who seek to uplift others’ lives; those who offer to us a part of themselves, however small. Their apparent motivations may vary, but there is always that overarching reason behind it all: the sense of fulfilment when you did what you can, both small and great, to uplift your society. For me, this thought is ever present whenever I do something to serve others around me. In all the services I rendered and will render to my community, there is always the thought that I am doing these things because there is that indispensable feeling of fulfilment.…

    The Global Village School Located in downtown Decatur, Georgia is a leading education provider to teenage girls from across the countries experiencing war. Its mission is “to help international students from war- torn countries adjust to education in America.” As a non- profit organization, the Global Village School has impacted the lives of many refugee girls whose hope had been dashed by events of war in their native countries. After the interruption of their education by the experiences of war and the subsequent events as refugees, most of the teenage girls drop out of public school as the situation cannot offer them a chance to pursue their studies. In the fall of 2011 as part of my class curriculum, I was ordered to do 15 hours community service at the Global Village School. Particularly, when one volunteers in the school there are tremendous positive changes dawned on them. Since I have been given the opportunity to volunteer and work with the girls I have learned to be more appreciative, supportive, and inspirational.…

    My Community Service Project (CSP) – to acknowledge the existence of non-local students and help them blend into our community – is an opportunity to shift away from the stereotyped definition of ‘community service’ (i.e. helping less fortunate communities) and paint a new light to it as well as to remind students not to neglect the true essence of giving, sharing and caring in the midst of the paper chase. This CSP has become a training ground for me to hone and sharpen newly-acquired theories and soft skills in a real life context and to grow in them as an individual and as Team Soin’s leader. Besides, working as a Team Lead (‘Lead’) in Madagascar: A Crate Adventure at Universal Studios Singapore, I have to learn to solve conflicts and negotiate break timings among my colleagues. Despite heavy emphasis placed on these skills by corporations, I was not equipped with them until I undertake LTB.…

    Firstly, The first lesson I learned when participated in the Charity Fair was about the significance of generosity in our community. The Charity Fair's preparation was obtaining the unused personal stuffs such as back bags, books, even clothes, and decorative sculptures. In order to complete the task efficiently, I and my friends had to encourage Abbey students to give away their stuffs with banners and paper leaves. It took us some time to think of the model for captivating banners, and the idea was obliterating the egotistical mind of the students and heartening their munificence to the destitute people. Therefore, we created banners that contained less words but more meanings. For instance, The banners such as "Utilizing our abandoned stuffs by giving them away" and "Let our old commodities bring new happiness to the others" successfully captured the attentions of other students, so our collecting process went smoothly and resulted in an better outcome than that in our expectations. Sometimes people need a little encouragements in order to express their altruism towards others. I realized that when we provides people with the suitable means to do good deeds, everyone will choose to help others as much as their affordability allows them to do.…
