I know you guys miss my thought-provoking posts, so here's one to make your day and hopefully set you thinking about certain issues! (:
To everyone:
I hope you guys are coping well with secondary school life so far! I'm guessing that some of you are feeling rather drained out because of your studies and CCA commitments lately, especially the sec 4s who are struggling with Prelims. And for the minority (I hope), y'all may be experiencing some serious relationship problems (friend-friend, guy-girl,
To Ex Co '09-'10:
I know it has been a long and tough journey for you guys, especially this year. Although there were many obstacles along the way, I'm still glad that I've chosen the 6 of you as the Ex Co in my heart. If y'all are disappointed in yourself, don't feel that way because it's truly the process that matters. I'm sure y'all have picked up a lot of lessons along the way. E.g. how to work as a team. Easy it may sound to non-leaders, but you guys should know how hard it is by now. So give yourself a pat on the shoulder for all that you've done for the Board. Take the important lessons away and make sure y'all don't repeat the same mistakes when y'all step into the working world. (:
To sec 4s:
I suppose you guys are stepping down by the end of this term. Just want to thank you all for all your contributions to the Board for the past few years. I really appreciate it. (: Although I'm not close to every single one of you, I hope y'all are coping well so far. It's going to be a tough ride this year. But rmb that it's merely the toughest period for y'all in your 4 years spent in Cedar, and definitely not the toughest period for y'all in your life. So do take things easy and don't give yourself too much stress. (:
To sec 3s:
I know this is one of the toughest period for you guys since most of you are stepping up as the new leaders of your CCAs. It's often hard at the beginning, but learn to adapt quickly k. Gear yourself up for the challenges ahead. It's all about time management and positive thinking. Don't magnify problems and make your life miserable. Tell yourself that you can do it. I know that sounds cliche, but more than often, it works!!! If you keep telling yourself that you cannot cope with all your commitments, trust me, you'll really end up accomplishing nothing at all. Don't waste your time worrying. Believe in yourself. (:
To sec 2s:
Ok this is tough because I don't know you guys well enough. Just want to say a big thank-you to those who still bother saying hi to me whenever I go back to Cedar. It truly warms my heart! (: Haha and terribly sorry if I don't recognize y'all, or don't rmb your names. :/ Anyway I hope y'all are learning to love the Board as much as I do! Stay committed to it and don't become "stagnant". Jiayou for everything else! (:
Alright guys, this post is not exactly inspirational or thought-provoking because I'm in a rush. Nonetheless, I hope you guys get what I'm trying to say. Just the gist of it will do. (:
Lastly, please treasure whatever you have in secondary school. Both good and bad aspects of it. Honestly, best times of your life are spent in this phase. yup, so learn to appreciate what you have. (:
GO PSLS!
