i don't know why i feel like i need to share more in depth about how 2007 was for me, as if i didn't do the year justice. the last time i kind of skimmed through what i was thankful for that happened in 2007. i had more time to reflect over the past week, so here's some of the highlights/learning points of 2007 and/or JC life for me:
-being an ogl: i was blown away by the school spirit. gained more confidence. and it's nice having og kids you know (:
-in my dear class: i don't think my class actually knew that sometimes i felt like no matter how hard i tried, i wasn't doing enough for the class. i didn't think the class was really united until term 4 in jc2 [i felt we were bonded within our cliques, but not as a class until then. maybe it was just me.]. i cried out to God many many times for things to improve, and He kept assuring me that i was doing okay, and to continue to do my part. i'm so thankful my prayers were answered, and we ended our school days on splendid terms. my class was definitely a key part of my jc life. love them very much (:
-guitar: it's really a
miracle that we clinched GWH for SYF! i cannot emphasise this enough. when the exco was first handed over the reins, things were really in a mess (no offense to the seniors). it took every ounce of passion and tenacity in each person involved in the process, together with God's blessings that we achieved what we did. i believe God honoured our efforts. i cannot imagine how my jc life would have been, had i not been in a music-related cca, and even more ac guitar for that matter. when i entered jc, guitar actually wasn't my first choice but my third choice. but as it says in proverbs 16:9-
'A man's mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.' -the sequence of events were such that i ended up in guitar. and i'm glad for it. when you give willingly, you'll be surprised how much more you gain in return. in contrast to being P of handbells in mg, running for and being sec in guitar gave me a chance to serve freely in my cca. as P last time i was under a lot of pressure to live up to expectations [not that i didn't enjoy it, i just was under much more scrutinity]. so this time round in my cca in jc, i discovered more about myself as a person and as a leader.
-a levels: oh, the horror that phrase brings to the current batch of jc2s hah. well i learnt more the meaning of tenacity and depending on God. time management was a crucial part too. i just recalled what i heard from fang that the results will come out in late jan/early feb :O
okay that's the gist of what i learned in 2007. there's additional stuff in my journal but i think i shall spare you who are reading this.
ooh, i just realised this is my 150th post.
