Blessings

  Today, I received my results from the teacher whom I once abhorred for her strict(yet lax) manner of teaching us in our English Language. This teacher was also the teacher... The very first teacher to give me a zero for my Literature test. I hated this teacher... But never shall my wrath continue to burn that way. It is time I hail my mortal blessings to this school. The school that, with white walls and brick floors, watched me nurture into who I am right now. I have the confidence to declare that I am proud to be an EVGian(Term to refer to students AND staffs belonging to Evergreen Secondary).

  I received my blessings from the teacher mentioned above, as well as the markers of Cambridge. Indeed, I do qualify for a Junior College. I can choose to go to a Polytechnic too; take the course I desire because I am more than qualified for them. 12 points for aggregate to Polytechnic, and 15 points for aggregate to Junior College. I could say I did fairly well, and who knows; I might actually have beaten my own brother, the dude who got into a better Secondary School than I do. However, I have to remain humble. I know there are others who have done pretty much better than me, and some who have done far worse than me.

  In the school hall were many other teenagers such as myself with arrays of expressions, ranging from radiant smiles for having done well or fulfilling their aspirations, to tears of depression for under-performing, to people shedding tears of joy because of the unexpectedness of their grades. Well, all I did was congratulated the people around me, comfort those who felt bad for under-achieving, and of course........... The plans for The Day.

  My results were a blessing. There is also another blessing I have received. Although it ain't much to enjoy or boast or even talk about... I managed to gather enough courage to... well... Actually I haven't settle it... I'm sorry, BX... I didn't keep my promise... Anyways, I found out that Someone has done sooo much better than me. That person is no other than Wei Min... Much as I have lost to her in P.S.L.E by one mark, I lost to her in the G.C.E 'O' Level Examinations TOO. Just a question... If she did so awesome in the 'O' Levels, then why the hell wasn't she allowed to take Additional Mathematics too? Well... Our grades are... Close enough.

  God... Why didn't I work hard enough?...
