Flashbacks of my past came to mind while I was having a poop, and subsequently, a nice, warm shower (too much detail, but I LIKE DETAILS!).
Remembered the day in primary school when I went on stage to receive the scholarship award for performing damn well in my studies (okay, I exaggerate) and the day I got selected to become Prefect. Also, in secondary school, when the band committee decided to nominate me to be the next Band Major for the band, and then to the time in PJ when I was at the band committee interview and was offered to be Band President, of which I declined and told them not to choose me because, quoting that fateful day, "Don't choose me, I'm a slacker!". Yes, I said that in my interview, very much to my teacher-in-charge's amusement.
I seriously wonder how these things happened to me, and I'm pretty sure you guys can't possibly imagine me as one of those role models/leaders in the school, knowing how passive and nonchalant I really am. Thinking back, I guess I was really quite 'decorated' in school, maybe that explains why people know me when I don't know them. I'm very sorry.
Looking at my past achievements in school, (more co-curricular than academic, sad to say), doesn't this then make sense why I am going to become a teacher in future? My character aside (maybe including), I think somehow God prepared all these for me, and despite my inadequacies, made all these work for me.
I am but an average Joe, blessed by God, from end to end.
I thank You for all You've done.
