Christine

My major extracurricular activities include music, a Rehabilitation Centre, the school magazine, and tutoring.

My involvement in music has been both enjoyable and instructive for me. My experience with the symphony orchestra has given me an opportunity to play with a professional group and develop my knowledge of symphonic repertoire.

Not only have I developed my skills as a musician and as an ensemble player, but I have also helped create music that has given pleasure to both an audience and myself. Outside of Symphony, practice, performance, and competition have all furthered my musical development as well as increased my discipline and understanding of dedication. I have derived great pleasure from both playing and listening to music, and have come to regard it as a great way to manage stress.

I started working in Nursing Ward M-5 (geriatrics) of the Rehabilitation Centre this year, and have found it to be a very valuable experience. After talking and visiting with the different patients. I have developed a greater appreciation for things that I used to take for granted, such as my health, youth, independence, and mobility. It also gives me pleasure to give pleasure to the patients that I visit every week.
