Dear 1E1:
The first term of the school year is almost over and I hope everyone is not too stressed out by homework.
I was not particularly pleased to hear that the class has been divided over the issue of the class chairman. I have spoken to some of the people involved and will address the issue in class when we meet next week.
As the weeks go by, I can observe that people are forging closer friendships and as that happens, different "cliques" will inevitably be formed. While it is unrealistic to expect everyone to like each other, it is possible to tolerate the faults of your classmates and give each other the time and room to grow. People can and often do change. Back in my secondary school days, one of my classmates and myself strongly disliked each other. But in Sec 3, we became closer and as of this year, we have been friends for fourteen years already.
Part of the process of growing up is learning how to accept people whose personalities and values are very different from ours (imagine how boring the world will be if everyone were the same!) and to agree to disagree. Learning acceptance is important because when you go out into the working world of adults in the future, you will not have the luxury of choosing who you can work with. You may have a boss with an attitude problem or a colleague who somehow just irritates you. But you can't just wish them away or quit your job everytime you're assigned to work with someone you cannot get along. Therefore, being able to accept "different" people is a life-skill in two ways: a) it is important for your survival in life and b) it takes a life-time to learn it. Your secondary school days will be a good time to start acquiring this skill.
Enough of "nagging" for now, then. Have a good weekend and let's have an enjoyable experience at the camp from Wednesday to Friday. I do not wish to hear about people from this class quarreling and not getting along during the camp. Ah, there I go nagging again :)
