“When one door closes, another opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell
Almost at the end of every semester, I would dwell upon this quote. The first semester in year 2 is about to come to an end. E37L has left me with a lot of vivid memories. When I first entered the class, I remembered I was really worried. First off, my science sucked during secondary school and even my teachers said it was sort of a miracle I could get C5 for all 3 of them. The first week of school wasn’t a very good experience for me, the number of bright minds there certainly posed of a great challenge. However when the going gets the tough, the tough gets going. Looking back at it now, year 2 has been much of a greater challenge than year 1. I really am worried about whether I could make it into IPBMS. I am sure that as time passes, the people I meet are just going to be smarter and smarter. What am I going to do then? What if I struggle and fall behind too much?
Such questions have always appeared in my mind. I believe I should still stick to the mindset I have after I finished secondary school. This mindset is very similar to Rock Lee in Naruto. I believe that one should not look back too often, rather we should keep our minds focused and charge forward.
“ What lies behind us
And what lies before us
Are tiny matters compared
To what lies within Us “ - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Certainly this quote is important, I don’t have to care what lies ahead of me or what lies behind me, so what if I am not as bright as some of my peers. I just got to work harder than them. I believe that what lies within myself is a fighting spirit which would give it’s best in almost everything I do. That’s my drive in life. To give in my best shot in almost everything I do, this includes games and sports.
The upcoming holiday might be a really boring one. Maybe not, haven’t have much plans as well, I intend to practice basketball every day and workout more often. I wouldn’t want my classmates to address me as Tubby again it makes me look corny.
I am really going to miss my classmates quite a lot. I believe that I won’t be hearing words like crabby, lizi, tubby, Pikachu, ditto, clefairy etc… so often anymore. Sad definitely bad all good things must come to an end I guess.
