Fading Smiles on 15 January 2009
, 9:07 AMEspecially after receiving my results, I've been changing so much that I feel I'm a totally different person already.
When I first opened my result slip, it dawned upon me that I have done worse off than my peers (in chunks of points, mind you) and I there was much less to hope about entering a Junior College that I desired to study at.
But all those moments aside, I feel happy for my friends who have done well for the O levels - and a little disappointed that they just don't cherish the opportunities presented to them.
While others are fighting over vacancies, available or not, what are others with better results doing?
Seriously though, this is what sets us apart!
Now (and regrettably only now) my dad's advice makes a lot of sense.
Not that I didn't think about what he said - when everything seems to be playing before your eyes, there's a void of emotions and one can simply become completely numb.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know where I'm heading.
I don't want to leave my friends - the memories and such - behind.
Sure, I'll cherish those moments, but all of that would be so different.
Just remember that on this day, I have regrettably failed.
