Describe your DCB journey in one word<br />
Eventful.<br />
A summary of your DCB journey<br />
I began my journey when the school first opened in 2005.<br />
Back then, everyone in Early Years still went to school on<br />
another campus. It was where I found my love for football<br />
and met many lifelong friends. Moving into Junior School, I<br />
also moved to the current campus. Transitioning into Year 3<br />
was a little frightening at first. However, I soon realised how<br />
much fun Junior School would be. Senior School was when I<br />
matured more and learnt more about how to study. Now, in<br />
my final year, I can safely say my DCB journey is what<br />
shaped me into who I am today, both in terms of academics<br />
and personality.<br />
Your best memories of DCB<br />
Most of my best memories of DCB are from the residential,<br />
service and sports trips that I participated in. Trips are great<br />
opportunities for students to form new relationships. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
provide chances for students to get more familiar with<br />
different teachers, as well as students whom they do not<br />
typically chat with at school. I can accredit many of my best<br />
friendships to my time spent on residential trips.<br />
Your take-away from DCB<br />
DCB has taught me the importance of leadership and<br />
respect. <strong>The</strong> school offers many platforms for students to<br />
step out of their comfort zones and take on leadership<br />
positions. Looking up to fellow students displaying<br />
leadership, confidence and respect has helped me realise<br />
my own potential. Furthermore, the teachers who have<br />
supported me along my journey have shown me that<br />
respect is not bound by age or status. Respect can be a<br />
mutual relationship formed between all people.<br />
Where do you see yourself 15 years from now?<br />
In 15 years, I see myself working a comfortable and<br />
enjoyable job, as well as living in a comfortable home with<br />
people I love. By then, I hope to be able to provide for my<br />
parents after all the sacrifices they made for me. I hope my<br />
life decisions will make them proud.<br />
