Personal Reflections For Lessons 1-3

I have learnt to always view things with a different perspective. Let my imaginations and creativity run wild, thinking out of the box. Don't just judge and assume just by looking at the surface of something. During lesson, Mr Wong showed us two scenarios- A woman carrying a baby, begging for money, and a homeless healthy man asking people on the streets for help to get him back on his feet. Mr Wong then asked the whole class- If we were each given $100 and can only give one of them the money, who would we give. Without thinking twice, i knew that i would give the woman with a baby. After collating all our answers, Mr Wong told us the truth of both scenarios- the woman carrying the baby was part of an association. The baby wasn't hers. The baby was just to make everyone pity her and give some money to her. She would then pass the money to the association. As for the man, he was really in need of help. He can't find a job. So maybe by giving him the$100, he can buy some new clothes for a job interview and start a new life. From this I learnt to never judge a book by its cover. Always find out the truth before jumping into conclusions. -Charmaine Soh(4)
