Interview with Mr Yeo
Monday, February 25, 2008 6:37 AM
The following is an interview with Mr Yeo, a very heart-broken teacher who is not able to make it for his beloved student council’s investiture, on 25th February 2008, Monday. (note I represents for interviewer, Y represents Mr Yeo) I: Now, Mr Yeo, thanks for agreeing to this interview on your walnut project – 81 hearts and 1 family. Can you tell us how you come out with the tagline ’81 hearts and 1 family’? Y: Oh, okie, basically when I was thinking of how to portray the councilors to the school for its annual investiture, I feel that there is a need to put forth a vivid statement, that although student council is not a CCA or a class, but we are bonded and that all of us are a big family. No matter if you are year 2 or year 4, we are one big family. As there are 81 student councilors, therefore there are 81 hearts to form a big family. Although these 81 hearts are of different age, size and personalities, but there is only 1 heartbeat – that of to care, to serve and to lead. I: Can you tell us more about what is so different in this project as compared to the rest of those that you did in the past? I: So how do you feel about not able to attend the investiture today? Y: You bet! I want my councilor to know that the measure of leadership is not the quality of the head, but the tone of the body. The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. I also want them to know that the path of being a servant leader is not an easy one to take. In this journey, one will face obstacles and disappointments; one will face the wet blanket from those who do not belong to the family; one will face the harshness of life; one will face time management challenges. BUT, I also want them to know that, in this journey, they are not alone. What they are facing are what their seniors had faced and overcome – with friendship and support from fellow councilors. No man is an island; only with the support and bonding among each family members then we are able to soar high and expand our horizons.
