My Hero
My hero is Jazton Chern. He is my hero as he helped me with a lot of things. Although Jazton is sometimes playful and he likes to walk in class but we did many things together. We were in the same CCA and in the same class for five years.
We are best friends and even took part in the boys’ brigade Adventure Quest that we went through five stations and even scalded my hand while cooking. We spent a lot of time learning how to build a tent, how to cook, some life skills and the history of boys’ brigade. We got a silver medal for the competition and went up another grade as we got bronze for the last year. I was shock as I thought we will be getting a bronze medal as one of our teammate was sick and there must be at least four people to get into the first fifteen place and we got only three people so we will get the number sixteenth place. But we really got into the sixteenth place. We were so happy and our officer who brought us here was impressed by us as we got into the sixteenth place. He even treated us to a drink to congratulate us. After that, we went to Pulau Ubin to have an outing there, we were challenged by our officers to tent pitching we was actually losing but because of Jazton and I, we won the competition, we were shocked that we were like the hero in their eyes as we must build the tent in ten minutes but we built it in fifteen minutes so we lost. If we did it, we would get two cans of coke each.
We went back to Singapore by a bun boat. My mother went to fetch me, Jazton and the rest to take a bus to Block 323 which is now beside my new school. We even went out together to eat and play. He was quite naughty but he also went to NUS High School though DSA which stands for Direct School Admission. I was surprised that he entered the camp in NUS High School. He was a genius as I did not know anyone in the school since primary one that has entered NUS High School through DSA which is Direct School Admission. But my mother did not allow me to go as she knows that I cannot enter the school as my marks for the examinations were very bad. I was discouraged but my friends who went for direct school admission say that all of them were rejected by the schools and they were even feeling even sadder than me. In the class, the only person who is Jazton went through the camp of anyone. I wish that I can enter my ideal school like Jazton and my ideal school is Clementi Town Secondary School.
