Dear Integrity 4,

Here's the long-awaited journal entry for this week. In conjunction with the National Day Celebrations, you are to write on the following:

'What does it mean to be a Singaporean.'

You may wish to follow the guidelines on this topic:

(a) What does being a Singaporean mean in general?
(b) What does being a Singaporean mean to me?
(c) What can or has Singapore do/done for me?
(d) What can I do for Singapore?
(e) If given the opportunity, would I leave the shores of Singapore in the hope of a better future? Why or why not?

As usual, the word count will be between 200 to 300 words. Please finish this journal entry by 21 August 2009. Thank you.

Regards,
Ms Chin
