Woo, Posting my homework on the net!?! Where can you find such hardworking students? Haha. Do take a look and leave comments if ur free
Dear Mrs Sim,
How have you been doing since u left the school? I hope that you have been well. I’m writing this letter as part of my homework. Also, I wish to tell you about the changes I have experienced since school re-opened.
I feel that the change from Secondary three to Secondary four didn’t have that big an impact on me as I thought it would have, perhaps, I just haven’t realized that my workload has increases, maybe because I might not have been doing my work consistently. Then again, my time management might just have gotten better. The workload does indeed get larger and after some time, it just snowballs if I don’t do anything about it.
My attitude towards school has also change quite a fair bit, I used to think that going to school was a chore and I didn’t want to wake up early in the morning to go to school. Nowadays, jump out of bed with the first alarm, even when I’m very tired. I still drag myself out of bed. I just tell myself that this is my final year, if I manage to complete this year with flying colours, life ahead of me will be more or less smooth-flowing, because with good results, I can easily take up the course I wish to take. Of course, learning new things at school has also become and attraction. Especially during history, we just finished doing the history of World War II. We learnt how Hitler started his campaign to create a German Empire. I felt that the book “The Diary of Anne Frank” was extremely helpful as it gave me an insight to how Jews were treated during the war. It also told me how ruthless Hitler could be.
The school also planned a trip to the Ngee Ann Polytechnic open house to let us know more about the courses which are available to us when we graduate from school after our ‘O’ levels. I felt that the trip was very helpful as I didn’t know about the courses in polytechnic. I wasn’t even aware that polytechnics would also have a wide range of CCAs for us to choose from. I found out a lot more about the polytechnic, such as the courses offered, the amount of points needed to enter the course.
Our school also had our CIP recently, the CIP was extremely enlightening. We were supposed to clean up the old folks’ houses, but most of the houses were already clean. The person my team was supposed to help out was deaf and mute. He communicated with us using hand signals. We learn that he was actually from the army. He was a middle-ranking officer. He got his disabilities towards the end of the war when a grenade exploded near him. He also recounted the happy times when he was together with his wife. He had 1 child who has since left the country. He even showed us the pictures of his late. I think his wife broke both legs later in her life, thus losing her ability to walk. Such were the tragedies that happened to the man. The man also showed me his CPF account. I could tell at a glance that he wasn’t very rich. It made me realize how lucky I was to be perfectly fine and have a happy family. It really struck me that day, that I should really be appreciative of my parents. Of what I should have and I should not take things for granted.
Okay, my letter ends here. I hope that you are faring well and I wish for you to come back to the school to visit us or you could give me your address and I could pay you a visit, since we live so near each other. :D
Yours, Sincerely
ShI hAo
