After reading Xin Wei's post, I suddenly have the urge to say something, even though it is past my bedtime already..
Whenever someone approach you to attend an event, what is your first response?
I think that 90% of the people would ask "Who else is going?" instead of answering "Yes" or "No". The second response would usually end up with "duno" or "see first" because your friends are not going.
That is one of the reason for the poor participation of events/performances/activites.
No one wants to attend something alone, or pairs or in small groups. When there are more people going, taking for example the band concert, there will be more fun. Those who were at the concert should know what jia wei shouted during that time. It is such things that make the fun.
The problem now lies here: no one knows whether others is going, then everyone would end up not going, because NO ONE wants to go alone.
Same situation applies to class outing.
Class outing is meaningless if we don't have a decent number of people going. We understand that some have their own things to do, their own commitments, but class outing is a class thing. We don't call it a class outing anymore if less than 10 people turn up. It becomes just an ordinary outing with friends. More bonding between friends.. and it actually worsen the unity of the class - the formation of cliques.
I have nothing personal against cliques. In fact, everyone has their own friends that they feel more comfortable with. Cliques are fine as long as they are not exclusive. However, we must not only stick around with friends whom we are familiar with, talk more to your classmates. You may complain that HOMEWORK is the only topic in common, because that is what ALL OF US do. If we go out together as a class, attend events, I am sure there are lots of things we can share with each other.
Sounds like a vicious cycle eh?
I may not have the right to tell everyone about this. I myself is not a very active person in the class as well. Yet, Xin Wei has given all of us the wake up call, the call for unity, cooperation. This should not be neglected and everyone has a part to play in promoting a better class spirit.
With this I thank Yan Min for actively trying to bond the class. He is the only person I can think of that is doing a part to get the class spirit. But looks like we have failed him... |
