By now, you should have maybe about 6 more papers to go? By my reckoning, this is about the time when the full meaning of what the 'O' level exam is all about, begins to kick in. Yeah . . . some of you might be experiencing the rotten feeling of not having prepared as well as you would like, to tackle what's left looming ahead. Some of you might be licking wounds sustained from last week's papers . . . Some of you might just be wondering how you are ever going to find the energy and nerves to make it past 11 November 2008 . . .
Well, . . . people before you have done it and emerged none the worse from the whole thing. So, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!! I remember how when I used to run weekly 10 km through the rough terrains of McRitchie Reservoir, around the mid-way 5 km mark, I often just wanted to throw in the towel. My legs screamed STOP, my head said, WHY TRY SO HARD? And it was so tempting to just slow down and walk or give up when I saw my fitter friends way ahead of me. But you know what, I knew that the effort would be worth it ---- the calories burnt, a fitter body, the camaraderie with fellow runners over nice ice-kacang after the run, and the discipline it developed in me.
Similarly, the heart, pain and sweat you put into your 'O' levels will ultimately bear sweet fruits for you. Persevere, my Integretarians! Final lap! Think of post 11 Nov!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
