Salute

This year, in one of my classes, there is a student who got promoted from the NT stream, into Sec 4 NA. At first, i was a little unsure if he would be able to cope. It's one thing to change streams in Sec Three, but in Sec Four? the year of N Levels?
is he just gonna try out and see if he can cope? coz i know that a "look-see, no-committment attitude" would surely not be enough.
but he's definitely more courageous and purposeful than i could ever imagined.
Today's the 5th school day, and he's almost completely caught up with the rest.
He takes the initiative to seek me out for study sessions after school and during his free periods, borrowed a guidebook to study, and whenever he comes with questions, i'm always impressed by how much more he knows, from the last time i saw him. And his questions are not the "short-cut" kind, (like " 'cher can you explain this topic to me?" "what do you not understand?" "everything") but he actually really studies the topic, and comes for clarification.

He says he puts in 4 hours of additional study a day.
Wow.

Is he super-smart? Is he super hardworking?
Perhaps.
But what i truly admire and respect is his courage to put it all into the basket and try. No holding back.

So often we lesser mortals are so afraid of putting our 100% in, thinking that in the event we fail, it wouldn't hurt as much. ("try for what? sure cannot wan!") But this guy is in a class of his own.

I wish you all the best. May you reap the harvest of your efforts.
I want to see you excel this year, and return for sec 5 next year, and top the world for O Levels!
Do it not just for yourself, but also for all the others in years to come who will need an inspirational hero like you to find their courage to try.
