THE GRADUATING BATCH OF SEC 4s!
Although I only went teach in Junyuan for less then half a year, or a few months only, all I can say is that I enjoyed teaching the Sec 4 classes. Well definitely there will be times when you have 'difficult to handle' cases, but on the whole, they are a great bunch of student!
I am sure to miss them, especially the unique class of 4E3, and all the rest of the students whom I had chance to know better and talk to! Enjoy the few Pic which I took!
Even as you are reading this post, and for all out there who might be going through difficult times, wanted to leave with you a story to encourage you to not give up in your studies or in the circumstances that you are facing, and keep pressing on!
No one effort that you put in will be in vain!
I am sure just just like the men who made every effort to throw the starfish back into the sea, your every effort will make a differnce to your results or the hopeless problem can be solved by first taking a step to begain working on them!
THE STARFISH
STORY
Once a man was walking along a beach. The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Off in the distance he could see a person going back and forth between the surf's edge and and the beach. Back and forth this person went. As the man approached he could see that there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural action of the tide.
The man was stuck by the the apparent futility of the task. There were far too many starfish. Many of them were sure to perish. As he approached the person continued the task of picking up starfish one by one and throwing them into the surf.
As he came up to the person he said, "You must be crazy. There are thousands of miles of beach covered with starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The person looked at the man. He then stooped down and pick up one more starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the man and said, "It sure made a difference to that one!"
