Questions 1

Introduction

Growing up in life is a difficult task, we need to chose the path that will bring us benefit as we grow older. So, there are times when we make the wrong decision or the worst decision which we will regret in our life for a lifetime. There is a person in my life that has taught me how to respect and also learn to be a mature person, she is my grandmother. The one that always supported me and train me is always been my Grandma. I can use this chance to thanks my grandma and she always are the one who I look up too and the one that who persuaded me. She is my awesome Grandma, I am so lucky to be his grandson; she is the one that I like to share about the influence she gave it on me.

Main body

When I was younger, I was very close with her even until now. She had becomes my inspiration when I was 4 years old. During that time, I was so determine to follow her footsteps and follow her teaching and remembered it so that I’ll use it in the future. My parents are not available that those time, because they are busy with their work for the income. So, my grandma is the one who take care of me. As years goes on, I was getting older. I still remembered when I was in primary four; I did badly in my exam. So, I decided to hide from my parents even impersonate my father’s signature and hand in my report card to my teacher. However, I wasn’t fortunate and got caught. I got scolded badly and they grounded me too. As my parents finish brainwashed me, my grandma told me that I have changed my attitude greatly, in a negative way. If she didn’t told me, I won’t be able to realize it myself. I listened to her and change my attitude into a better boy.

Is a week early before the examination time again, I was still playing around lying at bed. I just do my activities and sport. My grandma told me is time to study, she said; you don’t want to get another bad result do you? And get scolded by your father again? Then she continue and said is not only for your father or mother or neither me, this is for your education this will help you in your bright future and one day you may well be repaying us back with your success. She was so determined and I was been confer by her and I went on to be a good boy at my room to study quietly. After the exam, I get a great result for my all the subjects and my grandma congratulate me for my great result. I was also a happy person and went on to celebrate with her and my family.

My grandmother was the one who has always taught to never give on your dream and whatever you like in doing it and don’t give up hope. Then there were one day, I get pick up by my parents instead of my grandmother, my parents straight took me to the private hospital where my grandmother who was accidentally in an accident with a motor rider. When she about to pick me up from school to home. I was shock when is my parents who came to pick me up, I was told by my mother and I just can’t keep it inside and at the end I cry out loud and shouted Grandma. As the doctor said my grandma was in coma, I was quiet like for 3 to 4 hours that I can’t re-act or think about anything. I can’t do anything about it, I just hope my grandma will be awake and wish her to wake so that we could see her lovely smile again. My grandma was the one who always teach me never give up a thing that you love or anything that you like. Every day after school I straight went to the hospital to see my grandma, talk to her and spend almost 3 hour with her every day before going home. As life goes on, this continues from days to months and finally year, nearly pasted 3 years I was doing the same thing over and all over again, after class I visit her again and talk to her and one time her eyes opens ups and she was awake from her coma. I was touch that she has waked up after a long 3 years. Therefore, my tears were flowing down my cheeks but it is tears of joy. That day i make a vow to myself i will get 7A’s in my PMR exam. I never give up hope for my grandma, and this is what grandma educated me. Then i went on to fulfil my promised to get full A’s for my PMR result so as my SPM results too.

I still remember when i was in my college life; I was just having the time of my life. Enjoying all the time i can. One day, while playing games at a cyber cafe, my friend, CK gave a stick of cigarette. He persuaded me to smoke and I gave it a sip. Soon, I got addicted to it and I had to smoke secretly when I’m at home but that didn’t last for long as grandma found out and she encourage me to quit smoking. She said this is a negative thinking ways and this is drug, by smoking i as your grandmother want you to quit smoking. Then she settles down with her angriness, she sat down and talks to me in one on one before my parents come back. She tell me to think positive as i always do, don’t let your smoking friend influence you, smoking is bad for health and it course us to sickness. I listen to my Grandma advice and give up smoking. Besides, I am glad that i have such a wonderful grandmother and gave me the most influence.

My grandmother gives me the motivation about one of my projects in college, my grandma was actually a top student back then. She tells me to have more confidence in yourself and be proud of what you done and always end it with a smile. She has really made me what I am today. Because that time, i was under so much pressure competing in a competition with so many top student and at the end, i end up in second place, i grandma watched me when i was competing, and she is so proud of me. But my grandma always has faith in me no matter what i do or when i do it.

Conclusion

In conclusion, my grandmother had influenced me in many ways and different ways to built me up to be a better person. It been 20 years now, since i was born and my grandmother have also been there for me and help me true all the negative problems. She has a very good personality and a good karma to communicate with people. I believe that if I have her influences and I will always succeed. I’m glad that’s how my grandmother is. I will always appreciate her existence in my life and always love her as much as i can.

Question 2

Introduction

This question is about community service that can be a valuable part of my college experience. Community services are activities and services pursued in a school or in the community with the purpose of having students volunteer their time and energy to help others. Community service can be a one-time event such as a bake sale, fundraiser, or festival. Alternatively, community service may be an ongoing activity including tutoring students, visiting senior citizens, and cleaning public spaces. I am going to devote one years for SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals). Animals have always been my passion, as i want to help all of them to find a home or find a new owner or called family. If I could devote a year of service to the volunteer project for the SPCA it will be a dream come true for me. I wish to help all the animals in one piece. Animals got heart like us humans as well. Show the love for animal.

Main body

Since I was younger, I have always wanted to rare puppy because it is adorable and it is also men’s best friend. Thus, my mission when I was a kid was to be vet doctor to save not only dogs’ life but other animals too. However, I do not have the capability to be vet doctor so I can only be a volunteer helper for animals care. As my college recently have a volunteer project for a year.

Therefore, I have chosen to try to devote my one year of service to SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals). SPCA is an organization that is specially organized for animals care. Such as for homeless animals, SPCA provides shelters and also food for the abandon animals.

Other than that, as they also allow adoption of animals to society. As most of the animals these days are either abandon by their owners or most of it is stray animals. Therefore, my mission is to help all these animals find their path way ore happiness. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to All Animals is a non-profit animal welfare organization originally founded in England in 1824. SPCA were imply in many countries. Malaysia is on the list as well. Thus, it’s a very honouring volunteer job as helping animals likely to be saving a life. I hope my time with SPCA, i will assign to feed animals and allow them to play at certain limited time given. However, I won’t be satisfied as I want a harder task such as help these pathetic pitiful animals to find a new owner and also fight for animal rights.

Before i going to start my one year community service for the SPCA, my mission is to get a more space for the SPCA home ground to find a living place for a dog on the road or cat that can live peacefully place where they can called home and wait for their faith to see who ever have the motivation to take care of a animals and become the new owner of the animals and take care the them with love. By doing this, i need a big sponsorship by a big company by whoever it is that got the love for the animals. I will take this money to make the SPCA bigger for a better home.

I would like to share my knowledge that i have study over the years, my house got a puppy too that i trained to do a lot of trick and can be consider by playing with them to make them feel happier in their life of an animal. This is one of the ways for us and them to communicate as well, and this will help us in future to be more understood what their feeling and what are they asking us. So, we won’t have the problem of miscommunication anymore over with the animals.

I would like to share about my personal skill that i have learnt over the past to take care of the animals. But, I’m not a professional caretaker but i know some simple steps that can make the animals feel comfortable. Maybe, we could start a class for those who love animals and who like to learn more about them. We can earn money from this idea; to help out the poor little innocent kitten and puppy who got throw by their owner. This is one of the ways support the SPCA. Besides that, we could create some activities for the animal lover and caretaker to play some game with their pet along side. This will be really interesting to watch, to see the friendship between the pet and the owners relationship. This is a good opportunity to show the little kids for the fun a animals as a pet in their life style. I hope the government will approve for what we do and our care and love for the animals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, community service will do a lot to help us and to learn more, experience more and it also a lifestyle that can’t see true every single day. Invite yourself for the offer that they give, is voluntary work intended to help people or animal in a particular area. Take a challenge to dare yourself. It helps you by making you feel special and important to something.
