Hey!
After reading the previous two posts I felt this strong urge to post too.
First, I want to thank all of you for being part of my life over the past two years. The journey would have been very different without any of you and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Sure, there were ups and downs, but looking back, the first word that comes to my mind is 'wow'. And it will always be 'wow'. All the outings, especially Sentosa, being late for lessons, sitting at the back, sneezing and suaning (yeah like Xianglin, I've got Sam to thank for that) will form a pretty large part of my memory of life in VJ. I honestly feel very blessed to know all of you and like Wayne I hope we can all stay together.
For someone who dreams of attending college at Harvard or UPenn, my grades fall far short of my dream. If I said I wasn't disappointed I would be lying. But the point I want to make is that there will be many obstacles in life, and this is just one of them. I'm sure many of us are disappointed because we feel that our results do not reflect our effort. But the only way we should channel that disappointment is towards working even harder for our A'Levels. Not just because that is the exam that really matters, but also because the important thing is to always do our best. Like Xianglin said, "It's all in the mind".
Posted below is a speech I want to share with you. It's by J.K Rowling at a Harvard graduation ceremony. It has been pretty inspirational for me to listen to her speech and I hope it'll touch you too. Some of you might have watched it already, for those who haven't, it's about 15mins I think; if you're taking a break from studying, do take some time to watch it. I promise it's not a waste of time.
Part 1.
For me, the last two years have been full of fun, learning, stress, mistakes and regrets. I will always remember the fun and the learning. For the stress, mistakes and regrets, I will only take the learning points away, and be thankful that things could have been worse.
All of us have the potential to ace this exam. Now, let's do our best, and have no regrets:)
unleash the monster in you,
