I wasted 2 days playing games and watching videos.
When I thought back, I realized I should have just borrowed books and read.
That way, I could have spent more time in a more meaningful way.
I went back to my secondary school self and regained my interest in documentaries
I'm gonna watch Home, Earth, Oceans and planet earth.
Then, that was when I started questioning myself more about the future.
As Singaporeans, we all know how safe Singapore really is.
Even tourists or the foreigners can feel that.
However, to say honestly, I've long wanted to travel since secondary school.
Not to have fun but to gain experience and be more of a volunteer.
I still remembered in sec 4 where Miss Yap organised a trip to ChiangMai to help the children over there.
Only the sec 3s could go because they had the time to do so.
Banjamin and I actually went up to Miss Yap and asked if we could go along.
But due to the upcoming Os, we really couldn't go.
We were disappointed but at least we tried.
Looking back at it, I really admired what I did back then.
At least I had the heart and was concerned about the issue.
I love Miss Yap.
She can be a little aggressive at times but the passion she always carried in her
was so heartfelt.
She was truly concerned about the nature and earth and from that I learned.
Back to the topic.
Singapore is safe, no doubt about it.
But after thinking about it, I would really travel over the world to help the unfortunate.
Even if it means risking my life or so, I would do it.
I would choose to leave.
It sounds stupid but really, take a look around you.
While we can have fun and make choices, there are really people out there suffering.
I try to sound like a hero but it is the truth I speak.
I have options and I would choose to help.
It sucks to know something is happening and yet not being able to help.
But as of now,
I will continue to work hard for my studies
and while I cannot be overseas to volunteer, I can help Singapore's unfortunate still.
There's always people in need of help everywhere.
I can always start from here.
Here I promise myself.
When I have the power to do so, I will leave.
I will travel abroad and help others.
Because I just feel that life can be more meaningful when you do contribute and impact others.
