All youths have that something in them and what actually is lacking is a chance to showcase and nurture that part of them.
Sheng Long being one of the few pioneer members of SP.PRIMERS chose to continue serving in this family even after graduation. Always setting high standards for himself and his EXCO, he is a man who leads by example.As a BB Boy in his secondary school days, he had knowledge of SP.PRIMERS even before he came to the polytechnic. However he was not considering it as a long term CCA as the club was deemed too dull and inactive to satisfy and fuel his passion to try new things.
He often criticized the programs run by the seniors. The reason Sheng Long was always so disgruntled was that the club lacked vision, thus he decided to quit after attending the first ever combined orientation camp with NP and NY Primers.
However a simple phone call changed his journey. Kenny had invited Sheng Long to join them in a time of planning for the new academic year and through this he got to know Ps Danny whom shared his heart with him. In that time of sharing, he wondered how a person could have so much passion and belief in something that is unseen. He later found out the answer – faith.
He saw the vision that Ps Danny had and committed himself to assist in building the club up. After a tough time planning for recruitment (which is now known as YOUcampaign), he found joy working with the people around him for a common goal.
Sheng Long believes that all youths should be given a platform to shine and unleash their potential. All youths have that something in them and what actually is lacking is a chance to showcase and nurture that part of them. He is committed in giving them that platform. To him, it is more important to be willing to put in effort and heart into doing something rather than seeing the results.
His very own principle is to lead by example. He never suggests things that are unrealistic or unachievable. He makes sure that he is competent enough for a certain task before delegating to the younger ones. From there, he walks through the journey of learning with them.
Despite his hectic and inconsistent schedule in the Air Force, the spirit of the family in Primers keeps Sheng Long going. He is always encouraged when he sees how each and everyone in Primers stick it out in bad and stressful times and share the joy in good times.
This officer loves to discover new things and enjoys designing and experimenting with colors in his free time. His outgoing personality renders him the one normally initiating a chat or sharing his experience in a group. His advice for the youths out there is to take that first step and try and you will not regret it!
