Till this day, i'm wondering... what is my learning style? What are my strengths and weaknesses? What am i good at and what i am bad in. These things will only be answered when time goes by. people will obviously say, "Gabriel, you're good in soccer!" Well, i'm not. Compared to other people, i'm just someone that is lousy in that sport. But the love for that sport made me a better person in that sport. The only thing that knows how to answer these questions correctly is truly non other than God Himself, the Creator that created everything around us and of course, even ourselves. He has a plan for each of us, from the nano-second that we were born, to the last breath that we take.
Tomorrow will be the start of a new chapter in our lives. From the foundational education in primary school, we need to prepare our minds and hearts to meet the challenges of a more intense and stressful secondary life. Forget about the PSLE scores that we got, like what daniel shim(a score of 261, missing the scholarship mark by just 1 mark) said. Get up and do your best in everything that you do. Nabeel, don't worry about not being able to get into ACS(I). Don't let this setback discourage you. Failure is truly failure when we let it bring us down and discourages us to press forward. True success is when we learn from our mistakes and setbacks and persevere to work harder and achieve our goals! Remember, it is not a 100m dash but a marathon that we are running. SO PRESS ON!!! The finishing line is the last breath that we take and along this run, there are many obstacles along the way. This marathon is special, there are many shortcuts that we can take, and because of that, harder and harsher obstacles that we have to face.
Tomorrow will be like the first day of school, when everyone doesn't know most of the students in his/her class. We have to be able to get to know each other and also be good and trustworthy friends. Don't just stay with the friends that we made in Primary School, but also get to relate with the classmates new to us. Not being with any of my good friends, it is tough for me but i know that i will be able to get new friends in my class.
This chapter is not just of our secondary school life, but also our teenage life when we have to really have a lot of self-control. We will have to control our feelings and think twice before saying something bad to our friends or family. There will be full of defiance if we do not control our feelings so please be mindful of what you say and do(same goes for me, haha). This is why i urge each and every one of us to have a very strong bond with our family members.
I'll be bringing just all the forms that we have to hand up tomorrow and my pencil box too. We would just need to wear our school uniform only. there won't be any activities where we need to wear our PE attire. I wish everyone all the best and of course, HAPPY HARI RAYA HAJI!!!!!!!
