where is the time?
i know this is awfully off topic but...
in reply to what nasir has mentioned..
think about it this way.
would you be actively seeking for comn service to do if the compulsory 80hours of comn service wasnt factored in? or would you be more caught up with the whirlpool of flurry activities that has been happening in school, trying to adapt to school life as a freshman?
im sure everyone sincerely wants to do comn service. you get your friends along, they are like "oh im fine with it". but when it gets down to seeking for it actively on their own parts, would they actually get down to it? would you?
put it simply, im rather cynical at the illusion of young adults nowadays wanting to do comn serve. most of them are all talk no action. most of them say say only la. if you dont make it compulsory for the tertiary students, you can hear them come up with reasons like "oh i've got a date, cant make it." "oh my cca comes more important." different people have different priority, and comn serve (as much as they would like to do it) is wayy down there. and ultimately it boils down to not having the time for it. so when are they going to give back to society? never?
i once had a friend who wanted to join medical school, the reason being: she foresees herself NOT HAVING THE TIME in future to give back to society, hence she wants to give it back during her career - one which enables her to earn and give back at the same time.
just think about it. what does it say?
im sorry for being so skeptical, but that is what i generally see across most tertiary students, especially smu students.
