hello everyone.
because if you have tried logging into blogger you'll know that you have to log in with a googel account instead!
well i've conveniently used my hotmail account so account username is now
angels_forgotten@hotmail.com under the NEW blogger,
and the password for blogging will be the old password, plus an exclamation mark! so it's like ______!
=D
well. the only way to deal with things is to think positive.
and i've just convinced myself to love sec 3.
Yeah not all things go the way it should.
but ignore those things, solve them step by step, and look at the better things in a new perspective.
Treat it as a challenge, a chance to prove yourself, to the world, and most importantly, for yourself.
We can't go back to Sec 2, so why brood over it?
Besides, isn't sec 3 more exciting in a way?
Convince yourself that it is.
For me at least, my commitments IN school will be cca, council, academics.
People see it as stressful(when i have other commitments out of school).
I'm a GEP student, expectations of me to score well isn't any less than scholars and smarties from 301. Even my classmates' expectations of my academic results are high.
Council, frankly speaking, i'm aiming to be in exco, because i'm willing to give in my very very best.
CCA, many of you will know that there was this period of time when laoshi kept praising me. and just suddenly i've lost my forte, i need to work hard to get it back, and i got scolded by laoshi too. I'll need to adjust my mindsets, to motivate myself to work harder.
So am i stressed? am i heavily burdened?
I sure hell am.
Do I cry and succumb to the stress?
I sure do. but i keep it controlled. Why? partly also because everyone thinks i'm mentally strong. But i tell myself, everytime you challenge your own limits, everytime you tell yourself not to cry, not to
waste your time mulling in self pity, you're getting stronger. The stronger you are, the better you cope with it the next time round.
What am i expected to do? Continuing mulling in self pity? well i'm telling you, NO WAY!
isn't that just stressing yourself out? Aren't there people suffering worse things? Aren't there people out there, people in Nanyang, doing their best for something they love, aren't there peopel out there with greater stress and more impt things to worry about than just, school life?
I'm not going to think it's stressful. I'm going to work towards being a SUPERWOMAN yay. but coping with your own commitments that you've
chosen, coping with your life isn't exclusive to a superwoman. I'm sure all of you can do it as well.
Look at it this way, look at your commitments this way(since i presumably am one of those with the most commitments and expectations to fulfil so far, excluding my OWN expectations for myself):
This is an opportunity given to you, either by your wonderful academic results last year, or by teachers etc.
Do others get this chance to stretch themselves?
Not everybody get this chance to develop themselves.
If you don't haev council work, if you aren't in one of the best classes, if your stress seemingly comes from CCA, think about it. Do other CCAs have this great(though stressful) expectation to fulfil, a GOLD WITH HONOURS and an opening ceremony or a closing ceremony at the least?
Do they have this chance to have enjoyed the prestige, the BRANDING of belonging to Nanyang Chinese Dance?
i'm not trying to promote our own cca to the limit, but to raise an example, even Gary Tang/Mr Kuo vaguely knows how much we have to put in together with laoshi to enjoy this RESPECT.
Not everybody have as many chances as you.
So instead of getting too burdened by them, work towards them. With the support from friends, teachers, you look forward to having them fulfilled, having them achieved.
Appreciate them before you regret.
Always remember,
it's Mind Over Body.
oh and it's hern hern here, and hern hern there -points downwards- xD
