The Highs and Lows of My JC Experience( Yu Hefei)

My two-week JC immersion program has completed in a complicated mood. In my view, whether we regard our JC immersion a good time or bad one largely depends on the nature or gender of our buddies. I think my experiences are bittersweet; sweet for I made acquaintance with a lot of local students, bitter for the little sleep for 2 weeks and the poor time I stayed together with my buddy.

I still remember the stirring PE class I have attended in TP JC in which I got a good grade in the 2400-meter running. The P.E lessens in Singapore which have more task are quite different from those in China. Before running, my buddy told me that maybe it was hard for me to complete the race. I didn’t have assurance either owing to the lack of the experience of running so long. But as the race progressed, reckoning my strength was still enough for the rest of running, I started to speed up. Finally, I got the third place in that race.

I think my proudest high happened in the ping-pong CCA club. I played with players from different counties, and I had a good time with them. It was not the result but the process that made mine feel happy. Now many members of that club are good friends of me and we chat online frequently. It was a pleasant memory from my JC experiences.

As for my lows in my JC immersion, the worst thing I think was the fact that I didn’t become a real intimate of my buddy. Maybe the reason was that there existed some cultural gaps between my buddy and me and the class I attended in TP JC didn’t appeal to me so that I spent much of my time sleeping in the school library. There was an air-conditioned reading room attached to the library. From my experience, it was a veritable comfortable resort for sleeping.

My JC immersion program has already finished, I think whether we had a good time or bad memory is not important. The things we learned from it were more valuable to us.
