Having been around for almost 5 years and having encountered so many obstacles and being able to successfully overcome them, we have come to realise the importance of remaining grounded at all times. And one way of allowing us to do so is through community work as we found out through different occasions that words have a way to impact or change someone’s life.
On 2 Nov 2017, we were graced with the visit of a handful of students from East View Secondary. This visit was arranged by their caring teachers who were concerned about their students’ struggle with their studies and hoped that this trip would motivate them to push on. In this short 1.5hour sharing session with the students, Ryan, Sylvia, and Aiken shared with them about their difficulties they faced when they were students and what actions they took to bring them to where they are currently.
While many students might agree if we were to say that what we study in school are not relevant to the things we want to do as an adult, but the lesson to be learnt and what we hope that the students have taken away from the session is that basic education serves as a foundation on which you will be building your future career upon. There is only so much you can do on an unstable foundation. Also, school also allows you to learn soft skills that will be needed in the future, such as problem solving or even developing the maturity to do things that has to be done, even if you may not enjoy doing it, etc.
To these students, as well as all the other students who’s reading this, fight on. Remember that one day your efforts will prove to be worthwhile.
