Reflection and summary on fort siloso,shao wei

Before the trip, we went to several website to gather information on Elizabeth choy, her life, her birth, her death and her accomplishment and why was she honoured as a brave heroine. At fort siloso we interviewed the tour guide and ask for her opinion on Elizabeth choy. Elizabeth choy was born in Sabah in 1910, but moved to Singapore in 1929 to further her studies. She
became a teacher to support her siblings when her mother passed away. During the postwar period she was also a politician, teacher and founder of a school for the blind. She provided the troops with daily necessities. She was then captured as a POW(Prisoner Of War) and suffered in a harsh environment. We experienced it as we entered the hot and stuffy POW station at fort siloso. wilson and zhimin both took good pictures and videos(interview) regarding to the war and Elizabeth at fort siloso, even though not everything went well we still mange to produce quality work.

Overall, Elizabeth choy is a loyal, kind and definitely a person who can endure hardship. For that, she is worthy of our respect, we should strive to be attain her never say die attitude.
