This Is Me.
I went back to my secondary school.
I saw a lot of people from my batch. I saw many of them in their JC's uniform. I saw the uniforms from Hwa Chong, Victoria, National, Temasek, Anderson, ACJC, Nanyang, Catholic, Serangoon, and others. I saw everyone matured. I saw them grown physically and every other aspects. I heard lots of them have relationships. All seems good. That most are enjoying their new school. That most are not bounded by strict rules and inappropriate uniform. That most are appreciating life.
But I also saw sunken faces. I saw eye bags on faces. I saw people slimmed down. I saw faces full of pimples. I think I saw what I didn't expect to see.
I saw stress, my friends all being stressed.
And I looked at myself. Why am I not pulling my hair? Why am I not stressed? Am I having a little too much fun in SA? Am I not worried about my future like them?
And I try to find an answer. I found that I am having fun, but I also know what I want. I have my aim and I have been working towards it.
So I switch the situation around. Are these people feeling too much stress? Are they being pushed too hard? Are they unable to stay relax above all the stress? Maybe because the school demands more. Or maybe the people there are too competitive such that they can't afford to lag behind.
And I think again. Have I really made the wrong decision? Well, no. Obviously not. I enjoy myself and I think I can be equally good in my academics as compared to them.
I think I will never regret putting SAJC as my first choice under PAE and JAE, because this is where I think is the best.
