When i took my first 'o' level English paper, i know i wouldn't make it through this time round.
From my understanding at that time is that, if you failed your English, you will not be eligible to enter any polytechnic. Therefor, i sort of like giving it up already and i didn't put in any effort for the rest of the subjects...

When the result was out, i got D7 for my English and C6 for the rest of my subjects.
I saw on my slip that I'm eligible for many of the polytechnic courses. Was relief at that moment. But that relief didn't live long. Later on i found out about another main criteria for entering the courses, "the cut of points ". My cut of point was bad. Many of my classmate didn't make it as well.. They all choose to enter a private school for taking their 'o' level. Wherelse i choose to go bad to my secondary school.
(meaning to say that i have been in secondary school for 6 years!!)

Mentally it is never easy to be a repeat student. People gossip and mock at you. I can only blame myself for that. I was given a seat at the back corner. The girl sitting in front of me was Sharon and beside my is Guang wen. Sharon will often initiate to swap seat with Guang wen. We became close. Soon we were together. My mum likes her so am i. Things was going ok until one day, she sms me this question; "Do you like Shu Yun more or do you like me more?" I replied and we became friend again.

~Polytechnic life will be my next post~

Will end this post with another story.

One day when i was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name is Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, " Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my Friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him and he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with Private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! " He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak. Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one)and smiled. " Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story. " I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others. You now have two choices, you can share this story to your friends or ignore it and act like it didn't touch your heart. As you can see, I choose to share with my friends.. :P
"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. "There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift.
