Hey Monish, I would also like to acknowledge you during this camp for stepping up to the challenge and taking the lead throughout these 2 days. You did an excellent job during the moderator discussion yesterday and really saved me from some very sticky situations. :") Thanks so much for that and also for everything you did to lead and guide our tribe.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Monish has stepped up in a lot of occasions and activities. He has helped the team to be more cohesive and has helped the team to progress faster than normal. Good Job Monish! :)

When I was in the army, I had the opportunity to lead 65 men through missions

My personal best leadership experience was in the army, I was a Lieutenant of the SAF. I have always wanted to positively impact others and have my guys be inspired and motivated to do their best at all times. Missions after missions, my guys get tired and feel unmotivated at times as they do have anything to look forward to in the army. As their officer, what I did was to set up a Platoon and company spirit. Through competitions (opening opportunities for them to show their skills/ talents), getting to know them individually and recognising different efforts that they have put in. Ultimately for me, my goal is to have my guys be united, set a common goal and be highly spirited. Throughout one year, I could see growth in my company (Be it, fitness, teamwork, etc). I was very happy with all their contributions to their personal development. Then, one day, my company did a surprise for me to nominate me and wrote a letter to the commanding officer and I received an award for being the best, influential and determined officer in the unit. That award I dedicated to my platoon & company. One thing I've learned throughout this experience is that being a leader is not just a title but taking the extra miles to create opportunities for others to be engaged, enabled and empowered. That's where you will see growth in every individual.

When i was in primary school, i was the team captain for the volleyball team. I had to lead a team of 12 players throughout competitions and trainings. I was required to recite long speeches on award ceremonies. This was my favorite part of primary school as i felt happy to forge strong bonds between my friends and was able to hold victories with my team, with the upmost pride and confidence. This taught me to be empathizing and caring as each and every teammate is different. i learned that teamwork and synergy is important as if the team is not motivated, the abilities and skills will be greatly affected. therefore, during that time, i was loud and noisy during games so as to lift the spirts of my friends.

My personal best leadership experience was being a class monitor of my class, 2G. At the start, my class was really rowdy and unorganised and didn’t follow instructions even from teachers, let alone the class monitors. However, after some time we changed our leadership method from a more aggressive and strict one to a much nicer one where we got to know each and every one of our classmates individually and didn’t exactly force our methods onto them. Over time, the class started listening to us and accepted us as class monitors, and this way we were able to create a very strong class bond through activities, camps etc. I learnt not to give up when encountered with difficulties and also how to adapt to the situation because at the start we couldn’t get the job done but we changed our methods and adjusted them accordingly to achieve our final goal which was ultimately creating a strong class bond and class culture.

(y’all might be able to see the strong class bond in the class pic right? welp)

During a certain group project, most groupmates (including me) felt that there was no point in putting in so much effort just for 10% as we disliked the subject and only did the bare minimum, however, I felt that despite how much hate we had for the subject, we still had to complete the project. I had to take initiative and encourage everyone to complete the project even if we were not interested in the subject. This taught me that our mindset is the most important thing and whatever actions we do is closely linked to it.

My personal best leadership experience was in Primary School. In P5 and P6 I was a prefect and in P6 as a senior prefect I had to teach my juniors how to manage and operate the PA system in the school for morning assembly. It was quite difficult as my juniors were all nervous and scared that they would press the wrong button and the whole school would see that they had made a mistake. Me and my fellow senior prefect had to slowly encourage and teach my juniors to use and operate the PA system and eventually they were able to work together as a team under both me and my fellow senior prefects guidance. From this experience I was able to learn to lead with patience and I learned that leadership involves encouraging, guiding and much more, contrary to what many people think that leadership is all about instructing.

My personal best leadership experience was where i got a chance to lead a team during a group project for literature,we had to create an original play and complete more aspects like a booklet and a write up it was a holiday , and most of us did not really feel like doing it.Thus i had stepped up and set up a mini plan with the entire team through zoom ,reminding them of how the deadline was not far.So we started to complete and split up for some parts of the work,being open to different ideas and this thus allowed us to manage our time properly and complete few weeks even before the deadline and have a good holiday.This allowed me to learn how important planning is and how important it is for someone to lead the team for everything to work out

Basically. I am the vice-captain of the floorball CCA. There was this one time where we were playing a friendly match among ourselves. My team was actually losing 4-1 and we were slowly giving up. I thought that it was still possible for us to win the match and I constantly motivated the team. Slowly, we utilised the other team's mistakes and scored goals. In the end, we won the other team 5-4. What I learnt from it are that determination rewards you and that motivation and someone that constantly gives support will help you to never give up.

My personal best leadership experience is definitely becoming a PSLOP in VS. In fact, it was my first concrete leadership experience as I was not given much opportunities in primary school. It was a very meaningful and fun journey as I was able to communicate with my seniors who taught and honed our skills to be able to take care after a class by ourselves. Our seniors gave us important criticism that we used to improve ourselves in future sessions :).

I think that my best leadership experience was in primary school, during the NSG for hockey in primary 6. It was a very important moment for me as I felt that it was the very first time where I had much importance in a match. Even though I am no captain or vice captain of the team, there was this one game where the captain was injured and the vice was subbed out, and we were losing 1-0, with only 5 minutes left. At that time, I was also sick, thus it was very tiring for me to play. However, since that was the last chance we had, I encouraged all my teammates to work together and finish strong, and we managed to turn the tables and score twice to win the game. Thus from this experience, I can conclude that we should always start strong, finish stronger, and that constantly motivating your peers not only boosts their morale but also helps them to better themselves. Thus even without me being a captain or vice, I stood up to lead the rest of my teammates.

My best personal leadership experience was during a PSLE post-exam activity where I had to lead a group of 10 people to come up with an activity for elderlies at an old folks home. I came up with two activities, singing old songs and a small miniature football game using paper. One problem I faced was that I was the only one doing all the planning. This was mainly because my teammates did not see any need or purpose of doing the activity and they found post-exam activities useless. I felt like giving up as noone else was doing anything to contribute to the team effort. However, I managed to bring the team together by setting deadlines and delegating tasks. I learnt, being a leader, we must take the initiative to gather teammates and ensure they are proactive and we must not give up even if it gets tough. I also learnt that communication is a key aspect of leadership as without me delegating tasks there will be a lack of participation and members will do things their own way.

I used to do Wushu (Chinese martial arts) in primary school as my CCA. Just to clarify the competitions for Wushu is performances and not beating people up :) When I was primary 5, i was my schools Wushu Vice-captain. In the team, majority of us were in-experienced and have never competed in a Wushu competition before. However during that year I lead my team and encouraged them to winning the competition overall. Some made mistakes during their own individual events but I encouraged them and enabled them to continue trying their best during team events.

My personal best leadership experience was in my Secondary 1 Social Innovation Project where my class had to come up with a project to improve our school environment. Our class had then decided to carry out a project revolving around the cleanliness of the toilets. I was in charge of writing a proposal to the teachers as well as carry out interviews with the cleaners and the organising of the project where we decided o our plan as well as timelines that we needed to keep up with and ensure that everyone was doing their part. From this I learnt never to give up no matter how difficult it seems and that anything is possible if we work hard

I was provided with the opportunity to go to Cambodia to carry out community work there. I helped to plan a sporting event where the needy children in Cambodia would participate in. During the process of planning, i faced many challenges and my mind was filled with many thoughts such as 'Will they enjoy this activity?', 'Will they understand what the activities are?' etc. When i reached Cambodia, the atmosphere was very different. The weather was very cold and all. I learnt that we Singaporeans, living in a first world country, are very privileged. We need to appreciate the things we have with us and not be too complacent about it. Empathy was also something that I learnt. Not everyone is as privileged as us. However, since we were are more privileged, it is important for us to lend a helping hand to those who are in need. At Cambodia, I was heartened to see the needy children at their school. Their school facilities were very different than that in Singapore. Many things were different there. However, we are all still humans and we need to help one another out in any way possible. During the sporting event organised by us for the children, they were smiling and had a lot of fun. I feel very heartened to see this happening. They were looking forward to seeing us the next year. However, COVID-19 struck us all, and we were not able to go there again last year and this year. Despite this, I would always remember to think of others and be open minded at all times.

For this year's Drama SYF, I was the oldest member of the main cast, and I had the opportunity to lead my CCA mates and juniors when preparing for the performance. It was a difficult process, as we faced many restrictions and challenges due to COVID. Everyone had contributed and put in much effort in the preparation, and I did the same, encouraging my juniors when they felt down and staying back to help my juniors to practice. We ended up achieving the distinction grade, and I felt joyous that I had successfully led the team amid the various challenges we faced due to COVID. I have learnt that leadership is not a title, as leadership can emerge in anyone in different environments, and it came as a natural thing for me in this case without anyone instructing me or specifically assigning me the role of a leader.

My best leadership experience was my primary school leadership camp in 2018 when I was P5. My school(Cedar primary) was merging with MacPherson Primary school. So in order to prepare us for the journey together with them from the next year onwards, this leadership camp took place and both students from Cedar Primary and MacPherson Primary were taking part in it. In that camp, I had to lead my team in the activites as they had assigned me as the leader. A very important question that I had learnt in the camp was that developing good relationships with your team mebers are key in douing anything as a team. This is becuase we had actually we completeled activites at a slower rate and leess effectively when we didn´t really have much of a understanding between each other and when we started communicating well and developing realtionships, we could do things way more quickly and more easily.

# data[].attributes.body
i was a leader for my class for a school activity, even though i was not the one who planned the activities, i had to lead my classmates to set up everything quickly before the school can play the activities. while asking everyone to help out, i realised that among my classmates, only a few was helping out, while only my close friends and a few other people were helping out. I was at a loss of what to do as we had to set it up before the other students came. thus i just went up to them to ask them to help out and i realised that me asking them to help out could already cause them to help, making me learn that sometimes i need to "nudge" people to help out, just by politely asking them to do so would make them help and there is no need to shout which was what i did when i wanted my classmates to keep quiet during class time. this also made me learn that respect is needed to be a good leader

That one time in CCE where I had to lead a few guys to construct a sailboat. At the end of it, our group got the best matching sailboat. I learned that without a leader a group is metaphorically decapitated, as shown in another group that participated in the activity

My personal best leadership experience was during a debate competition in primary school. I was in debate starting from primary 3, I was in the school team for table tennis before, and I became my debate team's leader during primary 5. Honestly speaking, my team was not the best in debating and lacked self-esteem. Thus, it was a surprise for us that we qualified for quarter-finals. During the quarter-finals of the debate competition, there was an impromptu round where we would have to prepare our debate scripts on the day itself. My team received a debate topic that we were quite unfamiliar with so my team was panicking while we were making the debate scripts. It was a first for us to take part in an impromptu debate session and we got a topic which seemed new for most of us so it would make sense that they would be very stressed out. We were all over the place during the script making. Hence, I had to step up as a leader and I started guiding my teammates through the script making. I made sure to convince them to not give up until the very end. THus, their morale was much better afterwards. Unsurprisingly, we won that debate but lost at the semi-finals but we were happy since we gave our best till the very end. I learnt from this experience that I should keep being optimistic during a challenge and I should step up as a leader when times are tough

I was proud that my tribe could come together as a team and complete all the challenges efficiently. I was also proud that we were able to organize ourselves well, however it could improve with better communication and more proactiveness, and I am also proud that my tribe are good at guessing songs.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I'm most proud of is that we managed to work together as a team and collectively accomplished our tasks (especially during scavenger hunt!)

# data[].attributes.body
One activity or moment I was proud of was when Hermes played scavenger hunt and we were all able to contribute to the total team points which was 32000 in total. I was proud and happy to see everyone being able to find different objects in their homes to help rack up the points. I was also happy that I was able to find lots of unused tissue boxes and packets in my house which added up to about 5000 sheets.

# data[].attributes.body
My proudest moment out of all the activities was during the strike a pose challenge as I saw the whole team smiling as they pose. It really warms my heart as it showed everyone having fun.

# data[].attributes.body
My proudest moment in the bingo is the action relay activity that we did. Although we had little communication and could not clarify what we were acting out, we were still able to communicate the given word/phrase which is quite an achievement in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
I am proud that our team could work together as a team to complete the tasks given and i am happy that i was able to even meet new people and friends an also improve my leadership skills like micee

# data[].attributes.body
im proud of us working together to find all the items and i think everybody participated very actively which allowed us to get 32000 points which made me very proud of my tribemates. another activity i was proud of was the guess the sing as everyone was stating their guesses and singing the rest of the song which allowed others to recognise the song and answer the question quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
i was quite happy when everybody participated in the scavenger hunt and no one was just letting others do the work for them.

I would like to acknowledge Eamon for always seeking opportunites to participate and lead and seizing them whenever he could. He had always ensure to make the best of them and had always participated actively in the tribe by constantly contributing various ideas and suggestion to the tribe.

# data[].attributes.body
one improvement the team could have is to recognise the individual efforts and cheering each other on. We could also work on our team spirit. our cheer still sounds dull.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to work better as a team. I feel that we have gone through the challenges smoothly due to individual efforts and not a team effort. So, I think that we should improve the teamwork of the tribe by talking more and changing our mindsets.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that i can step up more and like our team be more socially aware of their surroundings

# data[].attributes.body

The proudest moment of day 2 of Veloci-T was when I helped my tribe make it through the virtual amazing race through good communication, but our completion was a team effort.

I acknowledge Matthew Budiman for being a very active teammate during challenges and a good leader to follow

# data[].attributes.body
My proudest moment during that everyone in our tribe had worked together very well and that everyone seemed to be more open and willing to work together as a team to overcome challenges. I am also proud that everyone in our tribe had tried their best in completing all the tasks together and that everyone encourages each other no matter what. I also am proud that our tribe did not blame each other when we make a mistake but would actually encourage each other.

*I would like to acknowledge everyone for being a good team member and helping each other actively in every activity. I would also like to acknowledge everyone for having an encouraging mindset, encouraging each other to push on and celebrate small wins.

# data[].attributes.body
i want to thank monish and rayan for breaking the silence and voicing up , encouraging the others to speak up as well

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to thank Ryan for acknowledging me lol :))
I think Matthew Budiman grew a lot too and has brought fun to the camp. He sometimes makes jokes ig and helps keep the tribe in order so that our tribe could do things more efficiently.
The other Rayan as well has contributed a lot in leading us.

# data[].attributes.body
The proudest moment was not any of the activities that we did but the process beneath it. Looking back, it is really astonishing to see how far we have come in terms of how much we have bonded, worked together and helped each other and is definitely very heartwarming to see in my opinion

# data[].attributes.body
My proudest moment in the camp was where we were able to work together as a team and create bonds along the way. This was especially at the amazing race. Personally, I feel that it was both fun and provided a valuable bonding experience. It was also able to show us what we can do with cohesion and combined efforts.

# data[].attributes.body
The person who stood out the most during the camp was definitely Ryan. During the 7 up game, I accidently lost for the entire team. Even thought I was sad, Ryan said it was ok and I felt more relieved, Thank you, Ryan! Small things go a long way :D

# data[].attributes.body
I was happy i got to know more people and make more friends. More importantly, i enjoyed the activities as they improved my leadership skills.

# data[].attributes.body
my proudest moment is when all of us worked together to make a painting even though it was very hard for us to communicate what colours we are using for the more complicated colours

# data[].attributes.body
I was elated to share my thoughts on the origami and most importantly be able to help my peers that did not understand. By modelling the way and inspiring a shared vision between my group, i was able to communicate well and prevent further confusio

# data[].attributes.body
I just want to say thank you to Monish for being a total MVP and reciting the paths again and again for the amazing race.

# data[].attributes.body
My proudest moment of day 2 of Veloci-T was during the mosaic activity as I felt my group was able to assign and agree on who should paint which part of the picture quickly and we were able to work together and help each other out when anyone had a problem. For example, we helped each other out when they couldn't find a good shade of a certain colour of if they were unsure if their sketch matched the picture given.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that someone who is worth mentioning is definitely Matthew. During these two days, I have definitely seen much growth and development in him, as he is a very good role model who would follow the instructions very carefully and also set a good example for the rest of us. He also manages to challenge the process and look at things from many views and tries his best to perfect it and take risks.

# data[].attributes.body
i think monish was the one who always actively participated in the activities, one example is him continuously reciting the numbers that we needed to go on to the next activity

# data[].attributes.body
In this camp, a very important thing that I learnt is that recognizing team members' efforts, be it small or big, it actually impacts them a lot and motivates them a lot too. I also learnt that it is very important to appreiciate the process of leadership and leading our team members is very important( even more important than acheiving the goal). I feel that after I learnt these two important things, I feel proud of actually implementing my lessons later on in Veloci-T

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to acknowledge Rayan for always trying his best to take intitative to lead the tribe and help and support the tribe throughout Veloci-T. He also always participated actively and he also ensure that there never was any silence and he made sure to break the silence. He also encouraged as many people as he could.
