On Friday, 22nd August, the junior class served the Penang community in Servathon. Knowing how tired they would be, the seniors took over the junior class store for the day.
As the bell rang marking the start of X-block, a bunch of students from elementary up to high school queued up in front of the store. The crowd was overwhelming for all the seniors as it was their first time working in the store since last semester. It took the seniors some time to adjust themselves to this familiar environment.
The candy, drinks, and freezie-side of the store was really busy but the junior class made it manageable beforehand by organizing the freezer really well so it was easy to find each freezie flavor. Despite the huge crowd, Jung En (12) still greeted each customer with a smile as she passed them a freezie.
The juniors also started selling ice cream cones this year and that tripped the seniors up. Even though the ice cream was frozen and difficult to scoop, both Peter Kim (12) and Sophia Ong (12) scooped a total of over twenty ice cream cones under fifteen minutes. The look on the customer's face as they handed them the ice cream cones was well worth the hand cramps.
Standing at the counter, Aaron Tan (12) took orders one after another. He even scribbled ice cream orders on his arm to make sure he didn't miss any of the orders. Working at least twice a week his entire junior year, Tan said, “It was fun to relive a little bit if the junior year experience, and it really made me miss it. I will miss this class and all the memories.”
Working in the junior class store once again was nostalgic for many of the seniors. It was like a trip down memory lane. It brought back many memories from junior year and it was a great way to serve the Dalat community once again.
