贝禹墨 (1A1, 2026)   三月二十六日，华侨中学举办了107周年校庆义工活动。活动开始之前，老师先向我们讲述了华侨中学创校人陈嘉庚先生的生平事迹。作为重要的慈善家和教育思想家，陈嘉庚先生参与创办了新加坡多所华校，包括华侨中学、南侨中学和爱同学校等。陈嘉庚先生一生热心教育事业，致力于在南洋地区弘扬中华文化、凝聚民族精神。他在抗日战争时期积极筹款支援祖国，并坚持民族立场，拒绝与侵略者合作，展现了坚毅不屈的精神风骨。陈嘉庚先生的一生，堪称 “侠之大者，为国为民”。   长期以来，华中学子都以陈嘉庚先生为榜样，将服务社会、回馈国家视为责任，并在日常生活中付诸行动。今年，为庆祝校庆，我们前往组屋区，向居民推广节约水电的环保项目。        抵达组屋区后，老师向我们讲解了活动注意事项及与居民沟通的技巧。作为第一次参加活动的中一新生，我们心里都七上八下。一想到要 逐户敲开陌生人的家门面对面做推广， 我们更加忐忑不安。起初，同学们都较为拘谨，面对一扇扇紧闭的大门，甚至迟迟不敢按下门铃。在彼此的鼓励下，组长率先敲开了第一户人家的门，让我们也一起

黄恩加（1i3, 2026) 终于盼来了期待已久的高空项目活动。一到场地，大家就叽叽喳喳地围拢过来，兴奋地排队系好安全绳。教官把我们分成三组：第一组挑战最低的项目，第二组挑战稍高的，第三组则要直面最高处的考验。我之前从没试过高空项目，连自己恐不恐高都不知道，只想着要挑战最难的，想都没想选了第三组。 排了好久的队，终于轮到我了。我带着一股无知的兴奋，我快速地走上钢丝。可当我在钢丝上站定，低头向下瞥，瞬间倒吸一口凉气：“怎么这么高！”我小声嘀咕道。腿开始不受控制地发抖，手心也冒起了冷汗。原来我居然这么恐高！我死死攥住辅助绳，飞快地走过去，生怕慢一点就会栽下去。刚跨到对面平台，我就瘫坐下来，大口喘着气，心脏狂跳得像要撞开胸膛，浑身都在止不住的打颤。我开始后悔，早知道自己恐高，说什么也不会逞能选第三层。 第二关是架在半空的独木桥。看着它摇摇晃晃的样子，我连迈步的勇气都没有了。低头看向地面，十几米的距离让我头晕目眩。我只瘫坐在桥上，用上身的力量一点点往前挪。这时，身后传来好朋友小凯的声音：“站起来吧，走过去比这样爬简单多了。” 我点点头，知道再耗下去只会堵
