My secondary 1 experience!

It has really been a long journey ever since i first stepped into this school as a "hwa chong freshman". It has been both enriching and intensive, making many new friends along the way and also pushing myself further. Coming from a primary school which has a chinese background, I have easily gotten acustomed to the school values. I guess the most major things I have experienced was the increase in competitiveness between students. Everyone all has their strong points and achievements in one way or another. Furhter more, the intensiveness in CCA has also increased. Being in the school wushu team, training has really been vigourous and exhausting. My seniors have really inspired me with their "never give up" attitude, pushing themselves to their limits for the school. This has truly encouraged me to be just like them and let this spirit live on.

Along the way, I have also faced many difficulties, coping with my training and studies, having to stay up every night to finish my work, even during the competition period where everybody is trying their best to obtain achievements for the school. I have also been exposed to a variety of projects, such as "Projects day"and learnt many skills such as interacting with fellow peers and effective time management. the compulsory CIP hours the school expects from every student has also improved my sense of social responsibility and my well-being. In a nutshell, the expectations for me as a student has rose significantly ever since I stepped into the school.

I have learnt many things in secondary. Firstly, I have learnt that to succeed, it's not just about obtaining good results in academics, excelling in other areas is also very important, such as sports or art. I have also learnt that in a school where everyone has good results, people look up to you not by your academic results, but by the way you treat others and your personal character. The school has provided us with many opportunities to become a leader, and secondary one is only the first step towards success. This journey will not be easy, but I'm confident that if I strive for the better, I will become a true Hwa Chong gentleman and leader.

Cheers!
