I transferred into 113 on the last day of orientation, so I don't really have any close friends in my class. When I heard I got into RGS Angklung Orchestra, I accepted it, hoping that I would feel accepted there. And I did.
The seniors in Angklung are very nice, but most importantly, my batchmates accepted me as part of the Sec One Angklung-ers. I felt a part of RGAK, felt a sense of belonging there...
We had a lot of fun during the prac sessions, and I got to know my batchmates better than I know even my own classmates. In the Angklung room, during prac in the old PE dept or foyer, I would always be chatting with someone, unlike in my class, I sit in a corner and just clam up.
When the loudspeaker announced that RGAK would have their SYF on that week, I cheered. It just felt right to do so. Although everyone in my class was staring at me like I gone mad or something, it was an awesome feeling to cheer for a group you truly belong to.
Although we didn't get gold with honours, I just want to say this: Angklung Orchestra is the most awesome CCA in RGS, and thank you for making me feel accepted!!!
