New Year Resolutions

A year had just passed in a blink of an eye. I am sure we have all encountered many incidents, made many new friends, experienced many difficulties, and of course, from these, learnt many precious lessons of life in the past 12 months.

This year marks the end of the decade; it has been a fruitful and busy year and I would like to share some of the important things that has happened to me, and what I have learnt from these things.

Reflection:
  • Entered Hwa Chong Institution. This has been a big change from my Primary School and will ( I know ) transform me into a different person.
  • Elected to be chairman of class. First step of confidence from my timid self in Primary School. It is the beginning of my leadership "journey".
  • Chosen to be a student councillor. I learnt a lot in the council how to organize events, and the role of a leader.
  • Disobeyed my teacher's instructions, and failed to abide by the proper conduct of a chairman. Through this incident, I learnt a very important lesson the hard way that to earn the respect of your followers, you have to be a good role model yourself first.
  • Earned the model class award after organizing two class outings for my fellow classmates. Learnt a important lesson that bonding, unity and motivation amongst the followers is important.
My english teacher Ms Susan Soh has never failed to tell us that we must strive to be a better person after one year, we must be better than an hour ago, a minute ago and a second ago. After these important "milestones", I have have reflected on what could have done better. I aim to improve on these weaknesses next year.

Resolution:
  • Be more confident in speaking
  • Be a good role model as councillor to my fellow classmates and fellow councillors
  • MSG results aim for less than 1.33
  • Improve in my english language
  • Pass my music Piano Grade 8 examinations next year
  • Make more true friends and strive to be a good listener everyone can confide in
  • Learn to better motivate
  • Develop better relations with my teachers
I know I cannot achieve all of them, but I hope I can improve on most of these points next year. After all, I am still just 13 years old.
