PRISCILLA'S REFLECTION! :D

To me, Elizabeth Choy was an ordinary woman made extraordinary through her acts. What makes a hero a hero? Elizabeth Choy has the qualities and values of determination, valor, bravery.. and the list goes on. Elizabeth Choy was a truly remarkable woman and a shining example of courage and compassion.

Elizabeth Choy and her husband were jailed and tortured by the Japanese Military Administration Department for helping to pass food, medicine and messages to British prisoners of war during the Japanese Occupation. By refusing to tell the Japanese anything about the British, Elizabeth Choy had shown patriotism to the country.

Some values and reference we should embody from Elizabeth choy...

E - Endurance
L - Lovable
I - Inspirational
Z - Zephyr
A - Ambitious
B - Brave
E - Empathy
T - Trustworthy
H - Helpful

She taught a nation what it is to live a life less ordinary and taught me how to live a live more meaningfully.

ELIZABETH CHOY IS MY HEROINE! :D

CANDY'S POST!!!! :D

A hero is someone who is courageous. A hero is someone who is selfless. A hero is someone who is remembered by others. Indeed, Mrs Elizabeth Choy, the war heroine has all these…

I feel that Elizabeth Choy is really a war heroine with a kind heart. Her perseverance indeed admires me. Even after being tortured so many times by the Japanese, she still refused to give the Japanese any information about the British. If I were her, I would already have given up and told the Japanese everything that I know so as to end my sufferings.

Truly, I admire Mrs Elizabeth Choy as she is someone that I applaud and look upon to. After the war, she continued to educate people in Singapore and spoke frequently on behalf of the poor and the needy to help them to gain more benefits from the government. Her deep concern and kindness for the unfortunate inspire me to help others whenever we can to contribute back to the society.

Elizabeth Choy… a war heroine indeed.
