It's after 'O's when many of us decide to get a job to kill time and make some money while waiting for our results. And it's this time when we really step out of our comfort zone where we're always well-protected by the adults and the rules set by them.
In TK, I was a somebody; a student well-liked by many teachers, a senior whom many looked up to, a junior whom every senior want as a successor, a friend who's there in need, a fellow schoolmate who if you do not know personally may think I'm a typically dilligent and intelligent student, an enthusiastic Patrol Leader in girl guides who's ever so energetic and somehow knows everything and anything about guides, the Vice-Secretary of the Student Council who always seemed so happening with school events.
On the first day of work when I was left all on my own, I felt it. It was a wake up call, that I'm long out of school and I am a nobody. People do not have immediately have a good impression of me and I have to earn it. Like the transition into TK, I tke time to make myself comfortable with the environment. i start of being really quiet and hardworking 'cause that's all I can do. People probably think I'm just a quiet person, so workplace is still quite a mystery.
And remember how I stop people from saying the f-word? Now, i don't really give a damn. As long as it's not associated with me or my loved-ones, go ahead, it just shows how low you are. In reality, I can't possibly stop everyone from doing what's wrong.
Well, this is life. Heraclitus, the ancient Greek philosopher once said, "The only constant is change". I fear change, I fear adaptation, but it's happening all the time. After 'O's, it'll be Poly. Tomorrow is THE DAY when the beginning of the 3rd major transition in life begins. Tomorrow is Resutls Day.
To all my friends, people from TK Batch of '09, PLMGSS NYC friends, 14th HCI SLC Firminus, TKGS PB, other student leaders whom I've met, primary classmates and schoolmates who'd graduated in 2009, Sec 3 Higher Mother Tongue TKsians, all the best for your results!
