"perception is reality. let me see if i can find the universal remedy."mr ang's msn nick. i didn't think much about this statement actually..until...i went back to my alma matar again yesterday. mrs tan was discussing with felicia and tian jiao about the schools they were applying for the first 3 weeks. i know these 2 scholars of yy definitely would not consider my school, though i kept emphasing my school rocks. haha. so i asked them how about the others. kinda astonished to find that no one, absolutely no one in the cohort wants to go to my humble college, or for that matter, put my college as their first choice..my cohort, classes of 2006, there was 4 in my class who went, and there were 4 more from the other class...hoho. why. distance shouldn't be an issue. since we are all living near yy, and that means close to my college..perception. we are perceived by the public. we are degraded. we are labeled as an ah beng's college? students play whole day, get into trouble. cannot excel in anything. high L1R5. don't wanna go poly, chose an academic pathway, and will eventually end up failing..whenever outsiders see that we are studying, they will ask, "SR__cians, actually study? Unbelievable!" what makes it even sadder is that teachers from neighbourhood schools, even my own, actually have this kind of mindset, except perhaps mr chia, my sec 2 geography teacher, who was an SR__cian. he stayed on despite getting a better L1R5 in his o's..haha. perception. public's misconception. universal remedy? i do not think such a thing exist. all i can do, all we, as students of SR__can do, is to bring up the good name of our school, whenever we go..for me, whenever i see juniors, my sister's friends, i will tell them how great and fantastic my school is. my sister's friends; difficult to change their mindset. after all, cedar girls can be considered as an elitist school? they all aim to go to the top 5 jcs. or at least, 9 out of 10 of them..my yy juniors; i don't know. felicia was so shocked when i professed my love for SR__..haha. she said her sister was there for first 3 mths and hate it there. hate? just 3 months leh. is my college that bad?haha. my school. greatly inspired during the leaders' seminar today. i think my principal is fantastic. role model. i think i'm beginning to idolize him. haha. i have taken the necessary precautions - he won't locate my blog. my humble college. we shall be a college of difference. medicore grades, but leaders with character. give us a few years time, SR__ will shine.right now, i got to put in more effort in my studies and guitar man. this is the first time i feel that i should study, not only because of personal acheivements, but also because of my college. more effort in my guitar, i hope my ensemble can attain my dream. the thing most crucial is first to bond all of us as one people.SR__ jiayou!Labels: SR__
