My first semester as a secondary one student

Time past so fast...... In the blink of an eye, 6 months have past since I first enter my secondary school. Life in secondary school is so different from primary school. I can relax when I was in my primary school but now, I could hardly do so. The subjects taught are twice the number taught in primary school and the things I learn are tougher than taught in primary school. What a large gap from primary to secondary! But after 6 months, I am used to these changes cause we need to adapt to the environment so we could learn faster and be ahead of others.



Talking about my experience as a secondary one student, there are many moments which I cannot forget, most of which are good memories. One of these moments is when we have the secondary 1 camp where we go through hardship together and try to solve problems as one. One of such activites is when we have to lift a rubber wheel out of a pole which is thrice the height of me. before putting it back. At first we though it was impossible, but after some though and some tips from our helper, we decided to from a human wall, where one person stand on top of the other and try to get the wheel, which is so heavy, out. But there are many things we have to consider first, like how are we going to get the wheel up before passing it to the person on top, how many people are going to be the base and so on. We tried a few times but to no avail cause some people were obviously not helping, and we were trying to see how many people are needed for the base so that the person on top won't fall. But in the end, everyone helped out caused we were pushed by our helper as there was not enough time, so we managed to take the wheel out. Putting the wheel back was much easy as lesser people are needed to form the human wall so most of us just support. From this activity, lots of teamwork are needed and can be see how well the team are together. Of course, we were a sort of coordinate team even though some people laze around.

There were some unhappy moments in my life in secondary school such as in class, I quarreled with my friends many times just for some small matters which I forgotten clean about it cause I believe that keeping hatred is harmful for one as the more you keep, the more you will hurt that person until everyone looks like your enemies to you. Sometimes I feel sad when my friends don't help me. Some of them are lazy, some are just trying to bully but of course I don't know what they are thinking. I am also upset that sometimes I don't understand what the teachers are talking about during lessons especially infocomm studies and chinese. Infocomm studies was like alien thing to me cause in my primary school, I don't have lessons about the programs on computer. Furthermore, the lessons taught in term 1 was hard as it was about programming. For the first three weeks, I don't understand what teacher was talking about. But after that, I somehow understood it. Chinese was like different from primary 6 chinese, most of the things were changed and new things were introduced like letter writing, shortening of sentences etcetera. I was so stressed up as I try to remember what the teacher was saying but found that I don't understand all of them. I was like so angry with myself for being stupid..... finally, asking my trustworthy friend, I understand it all. Lucky me to have such a nice friend!

Overall, I can say that my semester was a decent semester as nothing very bad happen to me even during my project's day prelimary rounds. In this semester, I experience things I never do before and I learn lots of things, not just in studies but also in morals and in life. I guess I have make the right choice in coming to this school, the school of future leaders.
