Junior College is officially over, well, except for a few revision lectures, optional mock exams, and of course, the A levels. JC life..now thinking about it, it doesn't seem defined, but rather, is just a blur of days passing by. I fondly remember my secondary school days of lessons with fun teachers, hanging around with my lovely Furry Friends all day long, dragging them down for breaks so they would stop studying and starving in the classroom, talking about random things and writing letters to teachers in our own elegant language. My secondary school life can be seen as an entity in itself, a part of my life I can clearly put down in words. Junior college life, on the other hand... the past two years were wonderful for me, in the sense that I have experienced, matured, and changed much, but to put the time down in words, is simply impossible. It was more like a patchwork, random events sewn together to form two years of my life. Many a times living in those experiences was painful, sometimes even depressing. But it is those experiences that made my life more interesting, and helped me grow as a person, socially, emotionally, intellectually. For that I am grateful for the past two years of my life. I entered RI as a childish, ignorant girl who placed too much emphasis on some things and forgot to value other things that I have found now to be more important than I thought they were. Now while I still emerge ignorant and waiting to learn more, it is undeniable that what I have gone through in two years has changed me more than the first 16 years of my life have. I entered RJ knowing no one in my class and because of that, I was able to be who I was instead of what people expected me to be because they have known me in secondary school. And that's what I valued the most. Being able to rediscover myself, since I wasn't pressured to act the same way as I did in secondary school. I feel kind of sad to have to leave RJ, it was a fun period, yet, I feel extremely excited at the prospect of entering university, with their great flexibility, and freedom, and I simply can't wait to start studying overseas. Studying overseas has been what I have wished for for years and have worked for in JC. I guess it's time soon to leave the past in the past, to be remembered fondly, and look forward to the unknown future. To start with a clean slate once again.
