xin shyan had her 3 min presentation today.
she talked abt retaining... and hazzie cried.
it really made me realise that actually i am not the one still avoiding the fact.
because deep in our hearts, all of us wished that it was just a dream.
we may be shouting unfair because the adults jugde us as a retainee.
but what i felt strongly was that we should prove them wrong.
since we retained, so why not we be the one who scored the 6 pointers in Os?
and prove all the adults wrong.
yes, that they may say we got six pointers is because we retained.
but i feel that some stuff, we just have to accept it.

adults dont understand the standard in our school.
thats why i felt unfair.
may be all the retainees can go to any other sch standard not as gd and be a scorer there?
we may not be the retainees there.
adults compare L1R5 by points. but they are not mature enough to think that how different the standard is from that blah school from crescent?

some people despised us because we are retainees.
some people looked down on us because they conclude that retainees are people who cant study.
some people feel that retainees are useless.
some people stereotyped retainees.

so what?
at times i may feel useless like what others say.
but this time i dont feel so.
though we are upset and regret that we did not work last year. but i feel that there is smthing i can do.
maybe that retainee will grow up and be doctor.
maybe that retainee will grow up and be a famous singer.
maybe that retainee will grow up and be a lawyer.

when we grow up and enter the society, people may have second thoughts in whatever we do because we retain.
but i strongly feel that we are more mature and strong than any other person.
because we had stand up and face the fact that we retained and got over the humiliation people gave us.
what else we cannot go through?

to the 5 of u all in my class,
don be sad okay! though i can fully garentee saying that there are noone who despise us. but at least our class do not despise us right? they treat us like how they treat the others. or those whom we dont knw well, they just need time to knw us? i believe that all of us really woke up and learnt our lesson already and we will do our best this year okay? top the class. and aim to get 6 pointers in our Os. dont give up! there are times where we doubt ourselves but dont forget that everyone is good at smthing. we may not be good in studies, but there is some other aspect you are good at. don brood over what people may think of us. prove them wrong instead. and i knw is hard to accept the fact that we retained and all of u hope that is a dream.. but we will have to accept it someday. why not we accept it slowly?
jia yous okay! we will pass common test and top the class!
JIA YOUS!
