Nope..this is not Pak Pak Ke BOOM..but it really is GEDEBOOM!!!
After a short "holiday", he came into class today looking a little bit quite..or should I say rather dejected than ever? Gosh..I could understand his feelings..he must have been scared embarrassed to come to class again..He's not stupid..That I know for sure..He has good marks and social graces skills..
Never been the black sheep of the class UNTIL he made the wrong choice..
Well..People always say time will heal the wound..Not so much I feel..It is more like what you did with the time that could heal you..We have our own rights to our own choices (Declaration of Human Rights, Geneva - kind of missing my debating days; my brain might be a little bit rusty and out-of-wear). If we choose to be swallowed in the world of undeniable pain, not even a second pass by could be our friend in getting back on our feet. Nevertheless, if we use the time to brilliantly put one foot in front of the other one at a time, we might be able to slowly but surely build ourselves again..
Hmmm..moving on..reading his essay reflects his regret..Yet, I can sense he is clueless on what he should do. As I told you, it was his FIRST mistake and yes it is a MAJOR one..
Dont worry, everyone made mistakes and should learn from it..
To honestly share with you the truth, I have done few mistakes of my own during my high school years. Some of them I do definitely regret and pray I could turn back time so that stupidity would be beyond my reach and INTELLIGENCE would hug me tightly..
Some of the mistakes are laughable like escaping prep class at night because of overdose of sleep ..I remember waking up at 10pm seeing nobody was around..My heart was thumping with fierce fear until I saw the clock..Then, it dawn on me "Congratz darling, you just managed to successfully escape prep for the first time in your life"..Hahaha..On a serious note, I did it unintentionally..
Either way, I sincerely pray you would start to be the SMART boy you used to be..oh ya, please QUIT smoking,,it could be the reason why you end up in a total mess with the wrong kind of friends..
