Notes for my dearest students....
Let's say that your goal today is hanging out at a mall. It seems very easy and achievable, of course. You got your high self-confidence to reach the goal, like only flipping your hand or blinking your eyes. But........... When you ready to go, your parents do not give you permission to go out. It makes you waste some little time to ask for permission. After long discussion (and lots of begging) for a yes, you can freely leaving for the mall. Another but, in your way to find a taxi near the neighborhood, you stumble by a rock on the street. It makes you fall to the ground. You hurt, like a lot. It makes you wanna cry, as bad. However, you really can stand up again, after badly crying, and continue to get a taxi to go to the mall. Worse, you could not find the taxi easily. It always passed by with passengers. So, you need to wait patiently. You can just cancel yourself to go 'cause it is only a mall, but the choice is in your hand. But, you choose to still go on because you know that it is your goal to get to the mall. At the end, you can finally hang out at the mall even though it takes a lot of energy and extra time as what you have planned. Overall, the mission is completed. . . . That's also what happen in real fight in achieving our dream(s). It might look easy to reach. It seems not so important like only to go to a mall; like you can have other days or you can cancel yourself not to go there anymore because it is so difficult; because you sometimes need to wait quite long for your turn. It is of course full of challenges. But, there is no easy road for i-am-ready-to-die-for-it dream(s). You will need to face obstacles; you will be at the lowest part of yourself; you will need to walk and climb so hard. It is not that you cannot go there, it is just sometimes we are too unmotivated to go on. Remember, you can still reach your dream(s) with whatever obstacles is in front of you, as long as you choose to always keep going. Ways could be adjusted, but the dream(s) should remain strong.
I hope you all choose to go on fighting for every dreams you have planned, my dearest SEVEN, EIGHT, and NINE!!!!!! With any bad news or unexpected result you got this few weeks, you know that sometimes we win, sometimes we learn. Just keep going!
