The following are another 2 reflections done by our cadets, who participated in the First Aid Competition;

Nabilah
I felt happy, fun and not tired at all. I get to learn evac, brush up some of my first aid and have more team work. As i was fasting at that point of time, it gave me more motivation to move on. During one of the trainings, as a stretcher squad, we had one of the NCC cadet and there was one incident when we were carrying him - the stretcher wanted to fall from great height, i was shock and cry on the spot.

After that incident, i learn from my mistake. Even if anything happens to us, we have to move on. I will, give my best for the next time if i join the First Aid Competition again. I want to have more trainings, as we get to train more on our skills.

I feel really proud, to be able to represent Greendale as part of a red cross cadet but, at the same time i am disappointed as we did not get to win any award. I have learnt that it takes practice to make perfect, although it was my first time but I definetly learnt a lot of experience. Teamwork is really important especially in a team like the stretcher squard I was in which we had to work together if not the casualty would fall off or get hurt and that I have learnt that being a team is better than being an individual, as a team we get to share the happiness as well as the sad times.

What I have encounted is the team spirit shown by the different schools and the feeling of being in a competition. How I can improve is to practice for the competition earlier and train the other cadets first aid so that when the next competition comes we can be more prepared and that they can join the competition too.
