A trip that I would never forget
I never expected that I would have the opportunity to go for a trip without any of my family members. It was year 2007, when I was 16 years of age.

Some of them were mature adults and some of them were just few years older than me. Therefore, inevitably, disagreements might be occurred due to the different ideas that we generated. Yet, from this experience I had learnt how to get along with others after we tried to tolerate with each other.

We had carried out activities like worshiping, playing games, making artworks and many other interesting activities. Besides, we also helped them to do some self-hygiene works such as removing the fleas on their hairs,...
