Chapel Lessons

By

We should make more friends.

This week was the last week of school before the mid-semester break, and different teachers have taught students the importance of making friends.

This week, in the middle school chapel, Mrs. Sierra Veerasingam (Referred to as Mrs. V) and her SAT group worked together to show a visual example of the story of Paul, who went over countries to share his testimony and resulting a wide spread of Christianity around the world. This day, Mrs. V taught about choosing who influences you, and what influence you have on others and presented the 3 actions, which are: Adding friends/relationships, subtracting negative influencing relationships, and influencing other people, to multiply your influence. The middle schoolers chose a wise choice of giving positive influence to their teachers and friends this day.

For the elementary chapel, the Leadership Development team (Referred to as LD), has come to play a skit on what a wise choice is. The LD team has shown an example of a student who followed the teachers instructions and could have a safe recess, whereas another student who did not follow the teachers instruction and became lost in an unknown building. This skit taught the elementary students what a wise choice is, and what they could do to help a friend to make a wise choice. 

Additionally, Mrs.V has called her friend, Time Traveler Tressa (Referred to as TTT), for teaching the students about the Bible, where TTT sent the students back in the age of Bible for a deeper understanding of the story. This day, TTT sent the students to the time of Micah, teaching us what God actually wants from us, which is to fully depend on God. As TTT finished showing the life of Micah, the students came back to this time, and left the class thinking about what a wise choice is.

For the high school chapel, the LD team has come to teach the students about sin. In this message, Aiden Boyd, Rebekah Woods, Abraham Johnson, and Hajin Kim taught individually about the Problem, Salvation, Sanctification, and Motivation of sin both through the text and their experience. I have interviewed Abraham Johnson, who has talked about sin in chapel, and Abraham has told me that he used a long time thinking about what he could teach other people about the sanctification of sin, that can impact others. 

After the message, students stayed in Harbor hall to have a talk with the LD, for spiritual counseling or prayer, and the students had a good question to think about during the mid semester break.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
