2013 has been the shittiest year in my life so far. For the past 8 months, I was never really happy. I dreaded school, tests, exams. I dreaded looking at my results on my report book. I dreaded having to wake up to a brand new day and to face so much challenges. I dreaded.. life. I contemplated suicide. I've always felt that me < everyone. In school, I did not know who I could trust. I'd look forward to class more than recess and lunch because at least that way I could sit somewhere and not look like a complete loner.I did not exactly like going to school. But I must say that school has made me grown so much. It made me into a much more stronger person, a person who is more responsible and manages time better, and a person who is more mature than I was in the past. I may not have things turn out the way I want them to especially in school, but I'd never regret meeting the teachers in hihs. Mr Jason Wong, Mr Kelvin Go, Mr Jarrod Tan, and my Chinese teacher, Foo Laoshi.
These are the teachers whom I am so thankful for. I don't even know what to say except for thank you. They are the ones who stayed back in school just to go through with me what was being taught in class because I was lagging behind in my studies. They are the ones who could make me laugh even when I was feeling down. They are the ones who noticed that I wasn't alright. They are the ones who I could rant and rant and rant to and feel safe talking to them about my troubles. They are the ones whose lessons I'll look forward to and enjoy the most. And they are the teachers who have guided me so much in my studies & also in my life.
'nuff said, this is our Sir Stamford Raffles pose
There's one particular teacher that I wanna thank though. He's Mr Jason Wong. He has been a teacher that has influenced and impacted my life a lot. I've learnt so many things from him like say taking things easy, being positive, and that studying isn't about comparing who's better, but rather more of like a comparison with ourselves to see if we've improved ultimately. All these things that I've learnt from him are not things that can be taught in the classroom. And most importantly, I've learnt from him that life isn't so pessimistic after all. You've inspired me since day 1 (of term 3 though hahaha) and I really appreciate all the advice that you've given me because you have changed this girl here somehow or rather to become a more cheerful and optimistic person. Thank you so much Mr Wong. :')
Having said that, being taught by these teachers and knowing them is nothing more I can ask for. They are the bunch of teachers that I've seen who are so dedicated and they're probably one of the greatest blessings in my life. And they do have this humour in them that just makes everything funnier though. HAHAHA.
Although things aren't really good now, I'll still pick myself up from where I fell. Happiness is a choice, and being positive will definitely create positive thoughts. Throughout so much that I've been through, I've came to realise that people come and go, but some do stay. And what matters most is to treasure those who have stayed and are always here for you in the ups and downs of your life. And to end off, happy teachers day to all the teachers out there xx
