Drilling Badge (28/3) Reflections

On Saturday , 28th March , we had our drilling badge test in school. We arrived early to practice beforehand with the company of the other seniors (thank you seniors!!!). We started off with uniform check by seniors then proceeded on with our practice.

At around 9am , we started our drilling badge test when Mdm Hasnah arrived. She checked our uniform again and gave us a few commands to start of our test. After her commands , XueWei started off as the first candidate of the test.

We were asked to choose 4 cards from different category : Malay commands , teaching in numbers , English commands and set ceremony. 

There were mistakes made during the test which made us felt really bad as some skills were initially taught and emphasized by the seniors to us and it also made us slightly demoralized as we really wanted to do well and not disappoint anyone. However , I believe that everyone of us did our best for the test and put in our best effort we could give during the test. 

The entire test throughout was stressful yet fulfilling for us as we were really anxious and was afraid that we might disappoint our seniors and ourselves after the many hours we stayed back together for practice. It was also fulfilling as we got to learn many new skills like how to fold the world flag and also how the taps were supposed to be sung. 

When the test was finally over , we all felt a relief. After the mistakes made during the test , we'll definitely push ourselves even harder to be more responsible for ourselves and also pick up more of the skills that we've yet to learn. 

((stop looking & be focused???))
