Rainbow Reminder

By Anonymous
Theodore Zimmer

I was sitting on the Ziemer Dorm balcony thinking of what to write for Senior Scribble. I was going to write about the basketball trip to ISKL where we, the varsity basketball boys, won 1st place and went undefeated. Varsity girls basketball got 3rd, and frankly, I have no clue how JV boys and girls did. But it was a good trip, full of memories that will hopefully last us for a while. Once we get older, we basically forget everything, and what I mean by older is thirty-five years old; I’m just messing, but really…

Anyways, there was a rainbow tonight over the ocean. This rainbow was dull and not cutting through the sky. It was not the prettiest rainbow I have ever seen, but nonetheless, it was still beautiful.

A rainbow is formed when light reflects, refracts, and disperses within water droplets in the air, directly opposite of the sun. This is the scientific way. A rainbow was originally created as a promise from God that He would not destroy the earth again with a colossal flood. This was during the time of Noah, and the last time I checked, this promise has been kept.

The Lord always keeps His promises. He also has a plan for every one of us. His plans might not look like the biggest, brightest rainbow in the sky; nonetheless, it’s still a rainbow.  God knows exactly what His plan is for us. All the rainbows are bright in His eyes. Plan for the future and then don’t worry about it by having faith in the Lord. Matthew 6:34 reads, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Again, the Lord has a plan.

I have my whole life planned out: join the Army and then become a farmer or miner. That’s my plan, but we will see what the Lord has in store.

To my fellow seniors, and to whom this may concern, plan your future, but know that the Lord’s plan will always supersede our plans. It’s acceptable to be nervous, but when it comes to the point when we don’t trust in the Lord, that’s when it is bad. Say a prayer and know that the Lord always provides.

When we do become old, like fifty (…joking again), we can look back at the things we did, or at situations that we thought were impossible to overcome, and smile, knowing that the Lord always had our backs. Our future may not seem like a shiny rainbow, but to Abba, Father, all the rainbows are perfect.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
