Shying away in the background on the crowd of people. Weighing in at a mere 38KG and measuring in about 1.60m in height. He is only in Secondary 2. The sunlight reflecting off his face makes him look much more fairer. I gave him a pat on his shoulder and offered him a drink, but he shys away.
His name is Joash.... And amidst of almost 200 youths whom took part in the Amazing Race yesterday, Joash is my HERO!!!
Looking beyond the seemingly frail and pale exterior... this young boy has got a big heart and great character. Part of the amazing race called for us to run from end to end of East Coast Park and overcoming some interesting station games. Many may have passed the chance on Joash and expected him to take the easy way out. WRONG! Joash ran his lungs out together with us and in his silent ways took on each station challenge with confidence! And that makes him a hero!
You must be wondering.. "Huh? Like that also can be called a hero ah?" That's right.. a true hero is not simply justified by the results and achievements. But rather the character and attitude displayed.
Joash might be the smallest person in size amongst the 200 youths. But he has a great heart and determination that made him stood taller above everyone and outshine them all.
Everyone can achieve results.. but not everyone can nuture such a great attitude of a hero!
