Don't Ever Give Up

Listening to Show Luo's "拼什麼" (what am I fighting for?)
Think it relates to my past and current situation even though its just schooling.

As you grow up more and more, you realize the competitiveness of this world.
Take Singapore for example... especially at the JC/POLY level it really becomes a blow in your face.
That's why so many of us probably miss our secondary school days.
Even I do.

JC people would have to study really hard and that one exam at the end of two years would determine the outcome.
Poly people have to work hard from the start, like a process itself, and pace themselves to a brighter future...
Honestly speaking I feel that the JC people have a harder time coping.

I think for the past months my hard work has paid off.
Or I would say my tougher mentality has been working for me.
Portfolio development would be a first step and VPres was my first success in a while.
Creative Writing sparked everything off and I did pretty decent for Design Practice too i guess.
Then the real Portfolio Preparation was good, except for the fact that I probably lost 20% due to late submission.
All in all it's been a great semester.

To top it all, the course trip to Spain and being selected for OSIP really pumps me up.
The Spain trip will be a educational trip besides all the fun and eating.
The OSIP (Overseas Internship) will be the real eye-opener and I just want to say I am humbled to be part of something this special.

I can say I am lucky for all these but at the same time i really wanna dedicate this to all the people who helped me and toughen me up.

My friends had shown me the results of working hard and not giving up.
My lecturers had been inspiring.
Alan encouraged me and continuously told me to not procrastinate (though I still do) but most of all, never giving up.
Ernest enlightened me with the concept of learning and experiencing things, no matter how shitty they get, you still learn something. It's not everyday you get to even do something like that.

Last but not least my parents have been my motivation and support.
My mom is willing to pay for my Spain trip and even my uncle in Taiwan is willing to lend us money for that.
My brothers are also supportive of this.
I just really wanna do well and not waste all their efforts for pushing me this far.

Haha I think this post is like really dedicated to everyone else who's paced me to where I am now.
Just gotta continue and work hard.

Fighting!
Good night people.
