I just emailed an introduction selfishly about myself to my fellow classmates. Ehem, I was TOLD to do so. Hmm… I thought I might have been a little-bit bigheaded about my poly days =D Haha. Ah well what was done cannot be undone *sheepish grin*.
Nevertheless it brought me reminiscing my poly days and how did I ended up there! My O’level grades were not desirably great (Whose isn’t? Then again shoo~ to all the single-digit pointers JC fellows here!). I recalled that I was sitting Bus 66 home from school alone, wondering dreadfully “Oh God, I don’t want this!” “What am I going to face my parents with?” “I am such a disappointment!” “My friends are going to be JC’ians and what am I?” Worst off, it started to rain! (ok people, you may think “how melancholy” (haha) but I so did not make this up…) Anyway, like all hopeful parents, they were disappointed. And nothing of my 16 year old world then could tear my heart than to see their let-down face.
Thank God I have good parents who love me enough to help me see what’s ahead. One night, my prayer to God was that: I promise I would do my best in my poly years, most importantly for His Glory. I wanted to be a testimony for God as a student that is pleasing in His eyes and I was courageously determined to make it happen. It was never a 三分钟热诚because I was aware that things could only get harder. So, I entered NP cluelessly took up Engineering (ETE). Thereafter, I retook 1 O’level subject in my year 1 of poly simultaneously; scoring B3 (from D7). And All Praise to my Almighty Father! for achieving a 3.78GPA of my 3yrs in NP.
Secondary school is merely a phrase in your life. What you study now do not dictate your life forever (though it does influences largely). But it is your attitude as a student that most matters!! Are you making the best out of your school life? Was it just play and do it without God? Half-heartedly? In 2010 with new beginnings, there would be many trials along the way, how are you going to walk this 2010?
