Mrs Tang's Message
Dear Qin En and everyone,
Remember that you can be happy and successful in any of the JCs you have been posted to, not just RJC or HCJC or VJC or NJC and that being able to adjust fast and well to your new environment will stand you in very good stead for success in the A Levels.
I am happy for those who are successful in your appeal because you have your wish fulfilled. However, for those who are disappointed, maybe you will look back in 2 years' time and feel grateful you did not succeed. Trust in God as He may close certain doors for you and open others in your best interest.
Life is full of surprises and silver linings so look out for them. A positive attitude in facing life's challenges and surprises makes all the difference in your happiness and success. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener but really, it isn't.
In my current illness, I have been surprised by the goodness of God in His personal attention to us mere mortals as individuals and I feel so grateful to Him for concrete evidence of His care. Another day I shall tell you all about how He has surprised me. Thanks indeed for praying for me as I believe that some of these surprises are the result of the prayers of my friends, relatives and students like you because His answers come for prayers I never even uttered!
So dear gentlemen, look forward to your very short 2 years in JC with gratitude and excitement whichever JC you have been posted to. Do not waste time being unhappy or disappointed. There is a Chinese saying that says that every good thing has a negative/bad side to it just as every bad thing has a surprising silver lining. I believe this from 60 years of life as a human being. Think of all the poor people who have suffered terribly, such as the victims of the Haiti earthquake and the fact that Singapore JCs are all really good. What the JCs are like depend on people like you. Even individuals like you can liven and inspire your tutorial groups. Try it, it is really true. One or two encouraging and enthusiastic students can change the quality of discussions and make the tutors enthusiastic too.
Love,
Mrs Tang
PS. Continue to pray for me. I just started chemotherapy this morning!
