My JC visit (lessons learnt)_Zhi Yiwei

When the classes ended and I walked out of River Valley High School, all those emotions mixed up in my mind. To be honest, I was glad that I could get back to my ordinary life track. But at the same time, I felt so unwilling and sad about leaving RVHS for all the delightful experiences I had there. It evoked my memory of high school life so strongly that when I stepped out of the school gate on Friday, I was really emotional and thought, "Yeah, now my high school life has officially come to its end."

JXP has assigned each of us a buddy, and asked us to go to whatever class our buddies attend. As I had classes with my buddy and his classmates, all the touching memories came back to me, and I felt like being in my high school class again. In high schools, everyone is keeping their dreams, no matter how tough it might be to reach those dreams, we don't feel desperate. Because we are not fighting alone, but as group. Unity brings us the sense of belongings, making us feel that the whole class is a family that support each members no matter what. Although getting prepared for college entrance test (or A level) is not that easy, with this belief, learning becomes much easier, and no difficulty seems to block our way towards our dreams. 

This is where it gets emotional for me. As I have already left my former high school and my class, and in our bridging program, we don't have a class that could unite and motivate its members. Only after four months, I would get into college and really depend on my own. At that moment when I walked out of RVHS, I almost burst into tears, because I never really cherished my high school time before; more importantly, I realized that I have already grown up.

Yes, I have already grown up, and I have to learn to be my own support and motivation. To all the moments that have passed, I should say "thank you": Thanks to all the sweet and encouraging ones that once brought me joy of life and wills to fight; thanks to all the bitter and discouraging ones that once made me see my flaws and later made me stronger. I would keep all of them in my mind and cherish them, while still focus on my current life which also has its charm – so that I won't regret when I look back again. I should learn to make the best of every moment that I am having now. I should always remember to push myself forward to make it a step closer to my dream, just like what my class has done for me in the past.
