2010

Hi guys! It has been a long time since my last blog post. It is now my second year in Hwa Chong. It has already been a week since the start of school. Here I am, writing the first blog post of the year.

There have been many changes this year. First up, there is an addition of two new subjects – Oral Communication (OC), and Independent studies (IS). Oral communication is designed to train communication skills and prompt you to speak up. For independent studies, well, the name describes itself - independent studying. With two new subjects, this means that my workload is increased and I will have to work harder. Or doubly hard. Or triply hard.

Class 2o1 is now a future class, which means that we have to bring laptops to school to use for studying. Teachers will post up assignments on online platforms, and we students will do the work required. Our classroom is now equipped with larger tables and chairs (yay), which hopefully makes our learning more comfortable and conducive.

The new year also means that I am no longer a junior of this school. I will now have to set a good example for the new batch of secondary ones, which sadly means no more fooling around. Going on to secondary two also means that I will have less time for my own activities and I will have to devote more time to studying.

The road ahead is a long one. There will be many more challenges ahead, and I will have to overcome them. Happy 2o1-0!
