1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?

I am Ng Jun Yi, 22. From what I've observed, I guess I'm one of the few in my class that will have this response: I hold most dear in my life; friends. But only a selective few would I strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis. Not that my family isn't important, its just that I'm convinced of their own ability to survive. Therefore, I prize my friends above all.


2. For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.

I prize my friends above all because they show me care and concern. Especially when I'm feeling down. It is thanks to them I'm able to overcome several obstacles in life. Secondly, they also share with me times of laughter, fun, and enjoyment. It is always them who are able to make me laugh, smile, or cry. Without them, I don't think I would be able to experience these many human emotions. In fact, they are one of the main reasons I choose to live. Without them, I would feel as though part of me has been destroyed. Thirdly, they are willing to give voluntarily without receiving. Or returning, for that matter. I'm very grateful for that aspect of them. These are the reasons I think so highly of my friends.
