What makes me sad

Humans are emotional,for me.I think I am a quite cheerful person that always bring joys to others but sometime things happened in my life which makes me sad too.
When I was still in kindergarten, I get sad easily over even the smallest thing.Friends ignored me,classmates snatch my toys away and when the time I did not get what i want.I will just cry out loud to show that I was sad.People may think that was childish but in that age of me,cry was the only way to express myself that I was sad.
In primary school,when I became more thoughtful and sensible to things around me.I will learn to control myself from expressing my sadness but sometime I will just burst out my cry when things really getting worse.I still remember that was a time,some of my classmates were teasing at me just because I am a foreigner, they started laughing at my pronunciation and when I tried to ignore them,they began to laugh at my parents and do childish stuff just to make me angry. At that moment, I really felt sad and tears began to shed down."Why can"t I had a fair treatment as a foreigner?" I shouted at them and that was the first time i cried in primary school.
Now,I was in secondary two,growing up as a teenage and not only became more thoughtful but also became mature in my thinking. I thought this would makes me more happy but it was not true, I start to realize that the world was in danger, deforestation and all the air,water pollution had caused global warming. All of this were causing by the human' action and leads the world to damage. These facts really hurts me and I was sad about it and not only the damage of the earth had makes me sad. The school word,project work and all the exam that I am facing also brought me quite a lot of stress, though sometime it really makes me frustrated but I will also treat it as a motivation for me to achieve my goal and things that I desire for.
Although this things makes me sad but i feel that a human's emotion cannot just be happy but we also needs sadness to balance our feeling and express to others what we really feels.

Letter to Principal

22 April 2010

Mrs Saraspathy Menon
Principal
Chong Boon Secondary School

Singapore 569250

Dear Mrs Menon
FEEDBACK ON STUDENT'S BEHAVIOURS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

My friend and I have been going to the school library lately to do some self-study. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents which took place in the library recently. I am here to inform you these incidents and I hope you will take action against it to make sure that the library is in a condusive environment for students to study.
There was this group of students who were being rude to the librarians. They shouted at the librarian when she asked them to keep quiet. One of the boys scolded the librarian in Mandarin and the librarian was angry and threatened to report him to the Discipline Master. The rest of the boys became challenged the librarian to report them all. In my opinoin, I think the boys should be punished heavily for such rowdy and rude behaviour.
Some students actually managed to sneak food in and they even spilled their sweet drinks onto the table and causes ants to appeared.Then,the table became sticky and became a hard environment for study.This makes the library a very unpleasant feeling. I hope that you will ensure that pupils observe cleanliness rules in the library.
There was this boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked in perspiration. This was unhealthy for him as he may catch a cold and unpleasant for other users in the library as there may be an odour.
There was a group of students playing games on the computer for a very long time. By doing this, they had affected other users in the library who might need the computer to complete their project or homework. School's computers are not used for playing games but used for doing projects and homework.I hope that you will take action and ensure that the school library is a quiet and conducive place for us to study in. I hope to see some improvements when I visit the school library next time.

Yours sincerely
Li Zeng Ying

Cross Country

This year cross country was on on the fifth of March. It was different from last year as this year the Cross Country was held at MacRitchie Reservoir rather that last year in Nanyang Polytechnic.
Actually,i did not go for Cross Country due to my foot injury and this cause me to loss a chance of participate in the running but though i did not go.I heard some of my friends said that it was really fun though it was tiring after the long run but i think the objective of organized this event is because school want us to build a good foundation of body strength and this is not the main reason.I think the main reason is because school want us to developed into a perseverance character in not only in running but also in other area of our life.
This event really benefit our students in may ways,student decided to participate in the running as a competitor and after that,they got a reward from the school and this can motivate them in exceed in many area of their life as much as possible.
I really take this opportunity to thank the school for working so hard to encourage students to achive a lot of things in our life in order to let us get a successful life easily .

Reflection-Our School

Personally,I feel that the school impact me a lots that I did not really expected for because I have never experience what does the live in secondary school looks like when I was still in priamry school but even since I became a student in Chong Boon Secondary,I feel that the way I think things and my view to the environment around me had a great change and I was surprised that Chong Boon had rewarded a Environment Education Award.
In 1994,Chong Boon Secondary School accepted its first batch of students in December 1993, taking over Anderson Secondary School's old building located at our current premises. In total, there were 483 Secondary One students in 13 classes and 23 staff then. Mrs Cecilia Lee was appointed the Principal.And in the second year, the enrolment grew to 772 students with 35 staff. The first Prize Presentation Day was held. In 1998,December, Mrs Cecilia Lee, our 1st Principal was reappointed to be the Principal of Junyuan Secondary School and Mdm Sun Huey Min took over as Principal.Since 2000,our school had a great change and The school vision, ‘A Thinking & Gracious Citizen’, was formulated. In April, the school's rebuilding project began on the combined site of CBSS and Chong Li Primary School site. The sailing team had done us proud, achieving Zonal and National Colours Awards as well as taking part in international events.Next,in march of 2002,the school's Core Values: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication to the Nation and Excellence (PRIDE) was formulated. The school embarked on a new beginning with the shift to our new premises. The 1st Student Councillors' Investiture Ceremony was held.And In December of 2004,Mdm Sun Huey Min, our 2nd Principal was appointed to be the Assistance Director, Staff Training and Development and Mrs Sarapathy Menon took over as Principal.
One of the things that I am really proud of is our student in Chong Boon really participated the school activities with lots of passion and enthusiasm to bring glory to the school which participated in many SYF and won in the competition.This make the CCA even more successful and motive them to acheive in a higher level in their perspetive.
