When I was really young, the future seemed so far away. Everything seemed so easy.
Study, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, then die.
Haha okay maybe not SO easy la. But I was so naive then.
When I was playing with barbie dolls and stacking legos with my cousins, life was so simple. Eat, play, sleep.
Then I got into primary school, in which I remembered I cried everyday for the whole first week in standard 1. And I remember crying because I didn't finish my homework in time.
Things took a change when I got into standard 3. I started schooling in the morning because you know, chinese schools.
And getting into the elite class was really tough. The homework itself could keep you occupied for hours.
Now that I think of it, thank God that my parents weren't kiasu enough to send me for tutioning every single subject.
Or I would have died earlier. Okay maybe not, but my lifespan would have been shortened by 10 years or so xD
I still remember the times I got to school early sitting there watching my fellow classmates finishing up their homework because they didn't have time to do it at home.
Studying was a pain for me. Especially BM. Honestly, I never did any of the BM homework *guilt*
I'm still surprised that I got an A for the subject thou. God's grace indeed.
Even in those days when I was growing out of my primary school uniform, I would look at secondary school students in their long dark green pants and light blue pinafores and marvel at their "aura".
Graduating from primary school, I wonder why I didn't cry. Maybe then, I looked forward to the future. To start afresh?
But now that I'm a teenager, I don't find it so exciting anymore. I'm starting to dread growing up. Time seems to fly so quickly. Boyfriends just seem to come and go...
Haha JUST KIDDING =P
Sooner or later, we'll have to part our own ways and walk upon our destined roads.
(I think I'm getting off the topic, someone pull me back!)
(Anyways you're starting to get the hang of my trail of thoughts xD)
So what struck me was, are we living a life of legacy?
When we leave school, will we be leaving a legacy behind? Will people be sad to see us go? Have we accomplished or achieved anything then, being in school for 5 whole years?
Next year is my last year in school. It's now or never, make or break, do or die, sink or swim.
God, please use me to the fullest!
