There is a time for everything in our lives.
There was a time when you first stepped into JYSS and were uncertain about the school and your class. There was a time when you began to know your classmates, make friends and know your teachers. There was a time when you feel alone, angry or stressed by school matters. There was time when I taught the class and spend many hours with you. I told you there is a time for everything in our lives.
To play, to study. To have fun and know when to be serious. To be a good friend to others and be responsible for ourselves. To show respect to people and be ready for school. To know that the class is special, and for you to come together, it is more than just a coincidence. It is a collective fate, a shared destiny. It is something you shared with others and will be a time where you will remember for the rest of your life. Trust me, friendship is one of the most precious things in life.
Then the time has come when we said goodbye. I am very proud that some of you are able to make it to NA. You have worked hard and earned your place. Well done. Those who have not, do not lose heart. Do not be ashamed and more importantly do not allow yourself to be defeated. Some of you might realise the importance of studying now, I hope you understand that your studies are going to affect your future. There are always teachers there to help you. But in order for teachers to help you, you must first help yourself.
I believe that everyone in the class deserves to do well in everything. For those who do not, I hope you will change for the better. Next year, the class will be a very different one and no matter who is in the class, it is important that all of you must learn to care and show concern for one another.
We had our BBQ recently and I'm delighted to see that more than half the class showed up. For those who didn't, we miss you being there. I shall post some pictures here and I will always remember all of you, no matter where you are and where I am, I wish you all the best and enjoy the holidays!
