How to fill up the NYAA Diary:

Reflect on activities, record your thoughts and feelings as well as what you have learnt in the NYAA diary.

Example 1 (Service):
During the Earth Hour Event, I was in the Logistics group and I learnt many things. Such things included values that are very useful in our daily lives. One of them was the value of respect.

Respect was a very important value being shown throughout the whole 9 hours in the event. Without respect, I would not have been able to listen to orders by the seniors-in-charge.

Without respect, co-operation can be a good alternative that I have used throughout the event too. Being in a team will help to reduce the time needed to keep things going, especially when we need to hold an important event, for the public.

Working as a team too can be a very fun thing to do. I learnt that it is also important for us to enjoy ourselves and not feel lonely throughout the event.

Example 2: (Service)
After the Earth Hour event, I learnt that just one hour can make a difference and help saved electricity if everyone contributes. During the event, I thought of an idea of making a light stick ball that can be thrown to the crowd when the singer sang 'We are the world'. The idea was a success and I was happy. I hope they get my message of the ball representing Earth.

Everything was fine until the band performance. The pianist was injured due to hitting the ceiling when it was moving in the backstage storage room. Luckily the teachers and organizers were there to assist and called for an ambulance to send her to the hospital asap.

From this incident, I have also learnt that accidents can happen at any time and we can prevent by being careful.
