Store of the Year

By Josia de Jager

The new juniors are trying hard to get the store up and running. Off to a slow start with a few days’ delay to the store opening, things are starting to pick up. They are working hard and dealing with this new responsibility.

One change the juniors this year decided to make is the price of freezies. Despite the class of 2024 having a freezie price of two ringgit, the class of 2025 decided to change it back to one ringgit.

The decreased price is not a blind move from the juniors; they have thought it through. By attracting people with those sweet and delicious freezies, they expect the customers to buy other snacks as well.

To the shock of Danny Pham (12), the senior, the grape candies that he loves are more expensive now. This might be to balance out the decreased price of the freezies. On the other hand, he hasn’t complained about the freezie prices.

Another incredible sight is that Uncle Anthony (Auntie Claudia’s husband) is still serving strong to help the Junior Class Store, especially since he has been serving there now for many years. Both he and Auntie Claudia are the anchors of the Junior Class Store. They keep it from going shipwrecked!

In order to promote a more equal workload between students, a new policy has been made, requiring juniors to work at least 30 hours. This should help out with the big load put on the shoulders of the Excom and on Auntie Claudia and Uncle Anthony.

When asked the question, “How would you describe the junior class store?” Andy Tan (11) said, “It’s a bumpy road, but we’re getting there.” Despite the difficulties and responsibilities involved in being a junior, it seems there is hope for the year.

Overall, the juniors will need some practice and trial and error to figure out how the whole system works, but hopefully, they will all work together to get the work done and to figure out the problems that come up.
