REFLECTION

All PISMP semester 4 students are required to involve in Bina Insan Guru (BIG). We are
required to plan any community service in order to fulfill our BIG. We went to Felda Soeharto,
Selangor for this program which started from 27 th to 29th Oktober 2014. This program gives a lot
of benefits to us. However, there are some weaknesses that has to be improved in the future.
During this BIG, I found that there are many benefits that I gain. Firstly, I could see that
every individual give their full cooperation in doing their works. Each student works in the group
that has been assigned by the committee. Everyone did not complain about the grouping and
willing to help each other to make sure that everything can be done in the time given. There are
also some students that willing to help the others even though they had done their part. I also
tried to give my best and full effort in other to help my team finishing our work. I found that
tolerance and teamwork are very important as we have work with other people, so we have to
make sure that all of us will satisfy with each other and any problem will not occur.
Next, I could see the close bond among all the students. I could see that this activity
have made us become closer and helped us to build the bond between every person in the
cohort. Some students may not really know other students from other courses. So, this program
helps us to meet and socialize with others which also give us opportunity to make new friends.
We have chances to meet, greet others, work together, eat together many more. I saw that
everyone have a good time together. Even though it has many works to be done and a bit tiring
but we are sure enjoyed ourselves. I am sure that this 3 days 2 nights camp helps every student
to create sweet memories and all efforts given are worth it as we could see that the outcomes
are satisfying.
Lastly, this BIG also helps the students to reflect about our life and learn to be grateful.
During this BIG, we are given opportunity to helps the senior citizen and single mother by
helping them with their chores. Some of them are not as healthy as us but then they are still
trying to do the chores and even take care of their disable child. This situation makes me feel
that we should be grateful with what we have. We should not complain about hardship that we
gone through because there are more people who are having harder time then us. Therefore,
we should reflect ourselves and be thankful with what we have and try to others who are
needed.

The weakness that I observed during this BIG is about punctuality. Some students
arrived late for several activities and briefing. This creates a problem for the lecturers and
committee as they sometimes have to wait for them to start the briefing or event. The activities
that we planned also cannot start on time according to the schedule which later, make other
activities being delayed. Therefore, in next program, we should improve this problem by come
up with plans and so on. for instance, rules and punishment would be a good help to make sure
that the students aware about the importance of punctuality. If students are punctual, every
activities can start on time according to the schedule.
To sum up, I am very happy to be part of this BIG as it gives a lot of benefits and
memories. However, there is still some parts that need to be improved in the future. Therefore, I
hope that our next BIG or other programs would be better and improved than before.
