I say this almost every year, but this year went by so, so fast. It feels like yesterday when we seniors were still getting used to wearing the blue senior shirts and not seeing any pink ones around.
Christmas came early with less than a full week left in the semester, and students were blessed with a long, relaxing, five-day weekend, and they took full advantage of it. Some slept in and relaxed, some indulged in outdoor activities, and others traveled. The dorms also made full use of the long weekend and traveled to Ipoh. Dorm students had the opportunity to go white water rafting, swimming in a cold waterfall, and sing worship songs with marshmallows and chocolate. I fell off four times during rafting, and it was genuinely the most fun I had in months.
When students came back from their extended rest, a new month – the month of red, green, and white -- had settled in, and we saw decorations everywhere. Josh Morrison (12) says, “Christmas is the best part of the year; I can’t wait to go back to see my family.”
It would be nice if all students could simply relax until winter break comes, but high school students still have one last fight remaining: final exams. Depending on your grade and the classes you take, the number of final exams you write can range anywhere from two all the way to six or even seven! I only have two exams this semester and boy, let me tell you, teasing the freshmen, telling them that I only have two final exams, is one of the most entertaining things out there.
School is almost over and so is the year. Like every other year, this one was a wild one. Before everything ends, try to look back in gratitude at all the things that happened. Gratefulness is never mandatory but always strongly recommended.
