National Day Parade 2016

As I was the one that led the NPCC unit, it was very exciting yet nervous for me since it was my first time being in the NDP Parade. I have never been placed in such a position.The training days were very tiring, took most of our days and all of us went home feeling drained. I feel that it was an accomplishment to complete the parade and i felt really happy knowing that its over and it was overall really worth the training sessions. I have been that type of person who is afraid and scared to do things with such a role. Usually stresses out so easily to the point where i feel like i lack in confidence. Nevertheless, I love to try new things and i would certainly want to help myself to get out of my comfort zone, as well as to face my fears. With that, throughout my journey from Sec 1 to NDP Parade to where i am now, i feel much more of a better individual and i am really thankful for things like NDP parade to happen to help me on slowly overcoming the anxiety i had in me.

The entire parade was the best experience I have ever had as an NPCC cadet. I decided to participate in the parade this year as I will not have another chance to do so next year, and I was glad that I made that decision. It felt rewarding just to represent my CCA group, as well as the nation. It made me value all the hard work the real uniformed groups put in for the country. In all, I really enjoyed it and would like to participate again if given the opportunity.

 It was the last parade i will have in my secondary school life and therefore it was something that i cherish a lot. It was a great chance to bond with the other CCA cadets as well as work together to make the parade a successful one. All the handwork and sweat paid off as everybody played their part.

Most of us find the training very tough. Having to stand still in the hot sun, listening to commands and instructions were the real test for our patience and perseverance. Most of us tried not to give up easily and they've succeeded. This event was a meaningful one as it is for our country. This event also allows us to push ourselves and in the end have a satisfaction of performing in the parade after those tough and hot weather training.
