Proud to be a peicaian!!!
Just received a msg from germaine (vice chairperson for peicai alumni) that the teachers day video for our sch was uploaded on youtube. After watching the whole video, a surge of mixed feelings dwelled in my heart. I felt happy, sad, guilty and proud. Happy because i saw a few of my friends inside the video dedicating their messages to the teachers. Sad because i realised some of the teachers who have taught me have retired or left the school. Guilty because i have not visit Peicai for 4-5 years...i remember i have turned down a few events when they have called me to join. I should have make time to go down for the events... Proud because i realised so many many of them are successful in their life now...some of them are designers, dentist, in business, in teaching etc... getting so many awards that are worth to be proud of. Reading through the messages that they dedicate to the teachers, i felt so touched...i realised 4 years in neighbourhood school has made me a stronger and a more confident person.
When i was posted to Peicai sec due to my poor PSLE results, my parents were quite ashamed about it...i was then a happy go lucky girl who doesn't know whats the great deal about getting into a "good" sch. I was contented to be in peicai because i simply love the "culture". The students there are just like me, not so academically inclined but are open-hearted, free-spirited and love to fool around~~ haha, i really enjoyed my secondary school days. Though i was bullied by some girls during lower sec but somehow all these experiences strengthened me. The teachers gave me chances to speak in public and somehow lady luck decided to shine on me as i was chosen to be the president of the student council in 2002. Looking back, i realised if i wasn;t given a chance to be a councillor, i won;t be the president. On top of that, i was voted to be the Prom Queen during prom night. I realised if i was being posted to a "Good" school, will i ever have the chance to do all these things or get chosen? Perhaps, it was God's will that i step onto this path, and boy i was so glad to experience all these!
Being in a neighbourhood sch is great afterall. Peicai roxs! =)
Perhaps, i shall listen to my inner voice and go on to my destiny. The path that has been laid infront of me. My childhood ambition. =)
