Due to my full attendance for two consecutive years, excellent academic performance throusghout the year in Grade 6, positive attitude during online courses last semester, serve as a class representative for teachers and students, actively participate in extracurricular activities and community affairs, I was honored to get the highest award, NACIS Scholarship, from my school in the beginning of Grade 7.
Pink Day is the school's annual anti-bullying event. In 2021, before my graduation from primary school, I gave a speech at the assembly for the entire school, Say No to bullying! Be kind! Through the experience of a young boy named Brian, a character in picture book The Invisible Boy, I show a bullying phenomenon that we often overlook, and that is Isolation.
I used to be a shy and quiet child in the lower grades of primary school like Brian, but as new classmates joined my class, I found that they were more nervous and sensitive. Therefore, I applied to join the school's psychological committee in the fifth grade. Under the guidance of teachers, I helped students in the class to solve the contradictions in getting along with others.
I was very grateful to Mr Sean and Ms Rose for their help, which enabled me to become more courageous and express my ideas boldly while serving others.
