Singapore – ‘I am proud of you’
Singapore is a small but independent country. Our country is thriving. In our country, even poor people have a roof over their head. Even poor people can go to schools to learn.
Unlike our neighbours, we do not have natural resources to rely on. When the children from poor families go to school, they have no money to eat. Some charities, such as the Pocket Money Fund, gather money from other generous Singaporeans to give to the poor children.
I am proud of my country because we are compassionate and generous. When our neighbours face national disasters, we are ever-ready to lend a helping hand. A few years ago, when the tsunami struck, we were the first to attend to them. Singaporeans are generous in giving financial help to the countries devastated by natural disasters.
When Stamford Raffles founded Singapore, she was still a small fishing village. Today, she has become the third busiest port and one of the top airports in the world. This is the result of the hard work of Singaporeans.
We will host the 2010 Youth Olympics. I am proud that we beat Moscow to host this event. We do not have many strong sports people who won many Olympics medals. Yet the committee think that we are capable of doing this.
These are why I am proud to be a Singaporean.
