We had a car wash this year to raise money for our job week. We were supposed to be asking our teachers to support us by letting us wag their cars. However, most of that work was done by our scout leaders. I feel that we should be more initiative and participative when it comes to such activities as it is our job week and not our leaders'.
Before we started the car wash, we were briefed to not pour the water over to car to get rid of the soap. Instead we were told to rinse our rags and then wash off the soap. Unfortunately, this rule was broken by many of my fellow scouts as they were playing with the water. When we carried out this activity, we were in the middle of a dry spell and the need to conserve water was extremely high. I feel that we should be more responsible in conserving water, a precious resource, and not waste it as Singapore has limited resources and there could be a day when we might have a lack of water.
Many of us were playing as we washed the cars and were not serious in our work. In my opinion this is a very selfish behaviour. This shows that we do not care for things that do not belong to us. If we put ourselves in the shoes of the car owners, we too would not wish for others to damage our precious belongings.
I also learnt the power of teamwork through this activity. When we worked together, we were able to get the job done quicker than working in separate individuals in order to simultaneously wash the cars at the same time.
