After visiting the old folks home, i realise that we are very fortunate. Even thought Singapore maybe a first world country, there are still many people in need of money,care and support. I feel quite sad as I am not able to fully help them, I can only do simple things for them like perform for them. It is a different experience between seeing the old folks and being there to help them. Sometimes we do not appreciate our grandparents, we may find that there are very troublesome but when we realise that they are actually very caring for us, it might be too late.
Through the service learning, I enjoyed performing taiji for the old folks. Even they are not able to follow or learn, I am still glad that it placed a smile on their faces. The worst experience was probably when I was about to leave the home. I could see the sadness in their eyes even though they didn't say or express it. I learnt that we should treasure our loved ones when we still have the chance.
I will try to do community work whenever I can. There are many other more unfortunate people in the world, I will want to do something for them.
