Blog Prompt Week 1

Hey guys, its been quite a while since I've written blog. Well, term 3 has began and I'm already facing huge amount of stress. And now, i will be posting a reflection on the poem tilted "The soldier".

I believe that national service is compulsory in Singapore because national service helps Singapore defend herself in times of war. I have this same spirit of patriotism towards Singapore. It is because Singapore provided an environment which no other countries can ever offer. Singapore is safe and crime rates are low. Singapore government also plays a big role. They ensure that every Singaporeans deserve the equal amount of opportunities and each of everyone of us are treated fairly. I do not consider myself a patriot to my country. It is because I'm selfish when it comes to serving and giving to my country.

I believe you could add more description to your post instead of being brief. You could describe how Singapore has provided us an environment that no other countries can ever offer, or perhaps talk more about what makes you selfish in not serving your country. I guess these descriptions would make it a better post and make it more interesting.
