quotes from students
--for their learning and reflection from the "Beyond Borders" trips
for his College Day speech
for his College Day speech
the theme for this year's speech is on globalisation.
these quotes should pepper the speech with interesting anecdotes along the lines of:
1. what's most culturally interesting/impressive about your country of visit, in relation to Singapore culture?
2. How does being in a foreign country make you more aware of your being Singaporean?
3. What does "home" mean to you? How has your visit changed your experience of what home is?
the anecdotes/quotes should be funny, witty, concise....
group leaders, pls post at least 1 solid anecdote per group on this blog or email it to me by tomorrow. Just got the request today. thanks!
I'll offer one of my own:
1. what i found most interesting: the row of wig shops in the "African" sector of France. Obviously, French women of African origin do not like the hair they were born with, or they have social pressures to undo the hair they have. we hardly see wig shops in Singapore and certainly not 5 or 6 of them in row!
