4th in level!

I am finally done with my Cell Biology test and back here at my blog to pen down something that happened a few days back.

I must say I am feeling really happy, and I've been feeling like that since 3 days back. And I just can't miss this chance to pen it down in this online diary. I once mentioned about this girl I taught when I did my stint at the Jurong East tuition centre early this year - that was under the archived post 'A wait worthwhile" on 2nd August 2009.

Three days ago, that girl sent me an sms while I was mugging for my test. This was what she wrote:

"Hey.i got back my report card yesterday..well.I did fine..got de 4th in whole level..but still did not manage 2 go express..70% den can go 2 express..but onli got 68.7%..sigh..can't say i did my best cuz i noe i can do better but jux feel disappointed cuz i felt dat i let u down..reli sori bout dat.."

MAN. I was so overjoyed after reading that sms, how could I feel any tinge of disappointment? It really isn't easy to attain 4th in the level and actually I never expected her to crossover to the express stream. I just believed that she would achieve as much as others one day in the future no matter how long it's going to take her. And yet she tells me she's disappointed with her results. That made me even happier cos I could feel that she isn't satisfied with just 68.7% and she actually expects more from herself. I recalled the period of time where I just met her, where I just started teaching them, she doesn't seem to even care about anything that goes on in class/school. Her achievement today is really a milestone. =)

The best thing you can do for the whole world, is actually to make the most of yourself.

I am really happy, AHH... and I am convinced that I have found the feeling I have long been searching for. The feeling of seeing others grow, and nurture - is a feeling beyond what fanciful literature can express.
