Description:

Joel started his life in SJI in the class of 105. Shy and quiet at first, he slowly became much more open to his peers, cracking up the funniest jokes with the team and his mates. He started off canoeing really well, an impressive t1 rower, being one of the first few who were able to do pull ups, doing an incredible amount of pushups for a sec 1! He wowed many seniors too, but of course, Joel never let that get into his head, he continues striving for the best.

In Secondary 2, Joel was partnered with Ze Jie in a t2 boat, a huge, wide annoying boat, but nevertheless, Joel had always been there to encourage Ze Jie to push on, not only did he encourage his partner, Joel was one of the motivational forces behind the team, encouraging every single one of them. The two of them then went on to win 2nd in the t2-500m event.
Joel has since moved on to a more streamlined, state of the art, Nelo C1, or Nelo C2.

Joel has a strong sense of determination, a 'never say die' attitude, a great, trustworthy buddy who'll never fail to cheer his peers up when they're down. Another joker in the team, who'll never fail to bring about laugher during benchpress PT. PLUS, Joel's a really fantastic cuber, being able to solve the rubik's cube in around less than 20 or 15 seconds, what a feat! He is also able to really strike a balance in studies, canoeing and CUBING!

Joel, never failing to impress others with his muscles and cubing skills, is a treaure to the SJI canoeing team. Challenge him in speed cubing if you dare, be warned!
