When I was very young, I had told myself that my ambition is to become a CID. I really loved this, but when I grow up and go to secondary school, I thought that I could join NPCC (National Police Cadet Corp) as my CCA. To my surprise, I could not join because I am not a Singaporean. It really hurt me a lot and I am very disappointed.
The teacher asked me to join other CCA. That time I really felt confused and did not know what could I join? At last, I had no choice so I joined SJAB "The Life Saving Team." I am a person that I scared to see blood, dead people.....how can I help to save people? I asked myself.
After I joined SJAB for few months and had a lot of trainings. I thought of I could change my ambition. Yes or No? I told my dad about this, he comforted me and said "Ah girl, any problem daddy will help you to solve but this time you have to go with your mind. Any thing that you had chosen I will support you." I smiled to my dad. But I still did not know what to do.
My final decision is to save people which mean I continue to be a member of SJAB. The rest of the few months, I had done well in SJAB and soon, I got my first badge. I was overjoyed. I had made a right decision, to save people. I will try my best to overcome my fear of blood and dead people....Now whenever I saw or heard the sentence: The Life Saving Team." I feel proud of SJAB.

It had been a long time since my whole family went out together. One month ago, my brother visited us from China, he come here for one month holiday. After two more days he would be going back. So we decided to take him to East Coast Park and play.
It was a perfect day for a picnic. The bright, smiling sun peeped from the clouds, its warm glow engulfing the East Coast Park.
My siblings, dad and I gathered around on the beach, enjoying the sandwiches that my mum had prepared for us.
Suddenly, a loud splash diverted out attention to the sea. Shock gripped us as we saw what had happen. A boy's head, a mop of jet black hair, was bobbing up and down in the water. The copper-skinned arms were waving about wildly.
My dad dropped his sandwich carelessly and ran towards the sea. There was a large crowed gathering around the beach and noisily making suggestions about what might had happened to the boy.
Meanwhile, my dad was fighting the current to reach the struggling boy.
After a while, my dad came striding up the beach, the boy lying limply in his arm, unconscious. My dad put the boy down and proceeded to resuscitate the boy. A while later, the boy's eyelids fluttered and he began coughing, spewing out the water onto the sand. My dad saved the boy. All the people around the beach were cheering for my dad and the unknown parents of the boy thanked my dad.
From that day onwards, my dad was not only a husband, a father but a hero too.
It was really an experience for me, the next time it happens again I will know what to do.
