1. What do you hold most dear in life such that you would strive to protect and defend in times of threat or crisis?
To me, the first group of people to protect during a crisis is my family. To me, our family are both our financial and emotional support for us. In times of need, they will always be there to support you and always be the first one to help you. I know this may sound corny, but families are always the one who pick you up when you fall and will not leave you on the lurch, when you need them the most. My family is the pillar in my life. They supported me from the day I was born and I'm very grateful of that. So in return, I have to step up and protect them as they had protected me in times of need. In conclusion, I would sacrifice anything just to support them, and I would not be what I'm without their support and protection.

2.For the above question, state three different aspects and include in your responses, why you think these specific aspects are important to you.
The 3 different aspects are my family,friends and my country. Family always comes first in everything you do. They would also be to first one you would seek help from in times of need. As a chinese idiom says, 在家靠父母,出外靠朋友. It means that you depend on your parents when you're at home, and you depend on your friends when your in the outside world. So the second aspects are my friends. They provide emotional support, and may go through thick and thin with you. Last but not least is my country, Singapore. As Singapore has been an independence country since, 9 August 1965, we have to practise deterrence in case of any threat or crisis. So, as a Singapore citizen, I have to do my part in defending Singapore for the security and well being of the citizens.
