It got me thinking... it really did... make me think about my aim and purpose to join cca...
In Secondary School, we're practically 'forced' to join a cca. No cca? you'll get questioned by the HOD of cca...
But that's not the point. I join because of a certain liking to it. Every cca will have its pros and cons. Uniform group may be tough. But there fun side to it too. I learn to love it, to develop my passion in it, though there were times that i do dislike the activity that was done, like drills.
I learn quite a lot from Girl Guides. Outdoor cooking, drill, planning of major events, camping skills. Not forgetting the fact that I know my besties from GG... The hard time, the fun time... it just make up a large part of my secondary school life. I seriously can't imagine how different my secondary school life would be without GG... It is GG that shape me up, to be who I am now.
And that's why I choose to continue GG as an external cca, despite that it was not consider as an cca in my school. Or maybe I should say, I joined Y.A. (young adult) as the external cca. Yes I have to set aside time. Yes I have to put in more effort. But what I gain are the experiences, something that is priceless. And the sence of acheivement. I guess, that something that is priceless and irreplaceble too...
Perhaps, the time spent in Secondary School cca kinda 'hook' me to cca? It really feel weird without a cca. Like there's no purpose in going to school, other than to get that diploma cert.
I joined an arts related cca, SA. Not the dance or drama, but rather as a backstage crew. A whole new experience. A whole new skill.
Being just 1 of the members in 1 of the 4 departments, it's kinda of scary to work with the whole big family. The first time working with the rest of the family, it really scare me off, especially when I just join not long ago and had only went for 1 event at that point of time. Bt two other big events change my mindset. and now I can't wait to work with the rest of the family again.
Perhaps, it was the recognisation from the seniors in the cca. It feels different when you get remember by a senior and when you don't. It make you feel more like part of the big family. I know, cause in GG, I wasn't really remembered by my seniors, 2 years before me. But for SA, I was remembered by the seniors, the seniors from the committee. not to mention that at the point of time, I didn't even know who is who, much less who is the committee member.
CCA... I joined, not because of the point I get to earn. But because of the experience I get to gain. The friends I get to make.
CCA... it's not a point earning system. It's more than just putting in time and effort for it.
Now let me ask you... Why have you join/joined a cca?
