My CCA came to my life this beginning of the year and from that day onwards, i had to go for training everyday until 6++pm, reaching home with insufficient time to do work, burning midnight oils almost everyday, no time at all for revisions, scoring poorly for exams.
However would teachers and coaches understand if you miss training or homework is not done? i would really hope they will as they should know the situation we pupils are in, tired of training eveyday, reaching home at night feeling low and exhausted, in no shape to study at all. I have always been wondering, why was fate so cruel to me, i had to train everyday, reaching home at night, too exhausted and tired to do anymore work, while others' CCA is only 1 time a week for 1 hour!! They reach home and play computer while I am running my heart out in the hot sun, homework not done!
I was also thinking, what did i do wrong for tests. I studied so hard while others are busy playing computers but at the end of the day, I still get worse result. My hopes and dreams of getting exempted for tests, after 3 terms of continuous hard work is crushed and destroyed within one day!!
There might be some students facing the same problem and i really hope something would be done about this.
Well, i would like to tell you, that's life. Just look around you. Many people are having the same situation. Why can't you be like them? Or, you are already doing the best keeping up among those people in the same situation, and think that it is impossible to be better, ask yourself, "Why not be the first to be able to do the impossible?" The term "possible" is only measured by what is achieved in this world now, but we, as a constantly evolving species, have to do forever more and better to be able to keep up. Jiayou.
ReplyDeleteHello there Yu Xiang. Yes I understand that your CCA is dragging you down. But think about it. In the future, there will be even more cases like this. I bet your seniors are also finding it hard to cope too. I know, I only have CCA on Friday. But the thing is, we have no choice. This is how life will go and it must go on. You cannot wait and the moment you stop, you will be left behind. Remember this: Every experience in life is an experience worth having. Challenges and obstacles may come your way but you have to knock them down before they do the same thing on you. Wish that, I wish you all the best and good luck. Jiayous to you too.
ReplyDeleteI am in softball and train 3 times a week for 4 hours to 7pm, so I understand. Most of the times, in order to finish my homework, I would have to stay up till 3 to do it. Though I do admit that we are a little too immature to handle this stress, this is beneficial for us as it will prepare us for work life, where there is politics and your bosses may flood you with a lot of work. With this kind of experience in Secondary school, I believe that we will develop the habit of time management early and that we would be easier for us to adapt when it comes to worklife.
ReplyDeleteI can understand what you go through. It is as if you put in so much effort but get nothing out of it. Although my canoeing training is only twice a week, it lasts till 7.30pm. I do agree with Gregory that we may be a little immature to handle this stress but this is the journey to a better self. Embrace it and endure it, sooner or later, you will get the last laugh. Perhaps we can encourage each other :)
ReplyDeleteLife is not smooth and it will never be. I can understand how tired you feel from the CCA Practises and loads of homework but there is nothing we can do. I have also felt the same way many times as before but just tell yourself that after after every cloudy moments, it will be followed by a sunny day.You may feel extremely hopeless at times, but hope is on its way for you.
ReplyDeleteP.S
When you felt that you have revised extensively for tests but still score not very do not feel sad. I too have heard my friends boast on how they can play computer games and score well but I always tell myself that I am SPECIAL and I need to study to get results.
I hope your sunny days come quikly :)
As far as my subject goes I am here to help in whichever way I can...but you have to ask for it!!! Do not worry after being able to cope with this you can cope with anything!!!
