National Service is a common name for compulsory government service. Most dreaded being selected to participate in National Service but those who went for National Service gained much experience too. In many ways, it has changed them and brought them many benefits.
One of the benefits of National Service is that it makes a person more independent. At the warmth of home, everything has been thought out thoroughly by our parents, our clothes washed by employed maids, food prepared on the table, beds kept tidy by employed maids or our mothers. We never really experience being truly independent, not relying on others at all. When an individual is dumped into the campsite, they have to do everything themselves from that second. Forced into a situation like that, they are left with no choice but to do everything themselves.
Besides, it too helps to train participants to be stronger and tougher both physically and mentally. Marching every day under the hot sun sure is a way to train someone to be stronger. Besides, with the tight rules and regulations and the schedules, participants are trained to be more discipline. If they do something wrong they will be punished.
Therefore, people should scrap off their misunderstanding that National Service is unbeneficial because it is so not.
