Teaching kids tennis in Grade 9 was a fulfilling and fun experience. I volunteered to coach younger children at a local tennis camp, where I had to adapt my communication style to make the lessons engaging and understandable. Breaking down techniques into simple steps and keeping the drills fun and interactive was a challenge, but seeing the kids improve over time was incredibly rewarding. It also taught me valuable skills in leadership and patience, as I had to adjust my approach to meet each child's needs. This experience reinforced my passion for tennis and my desire to help others develop their skills.

On April 5th, 2024, Thai Club participated in Wells International School's Annual Farmer's Market with the goal of raising funds for charitable organizations. We set up a booth selling spicy noodles (Yum Mama) and Thai tea (Cha Thai). To stand out at the busy event, we wanted to offer something unique and appealing to customers. After a suggestion from Thai Club members, we decided on Yum Mama and Cha Thai. On the day of the event, we received a high volume of orders, especially for Yum Mama, which led to delays in fulfilling some orders. Recognizing this issue, we quickly adjusted by reallocating some team members from the Cha Thai station to Yum Mama to boost efficiency. This experience taught me the importance of staying aware of the situation and adapting to challenges in real time.

In Grade 11, I had the opportunity to participate in an ROTC Military Trip, where we camped in the woods to experience real-life military situations. The trip was both physically demanding and mentally challenging, as we had to adapt to the harsh environment and work as a team to complete various tasks. From setting up tents and cooking meals over an open fire to navigating through the woods using military techniques, every activity tested our endurance, resourcefulness, and leadership skills. Although the conditions were tough, the experience taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance, teamwork, and handling adversity in real-world situations.
