I'm almost TEN!

Recently, the class came across a very interesting journal entry .. written by Lim Ix Shen .. We'd like to share it here :)

"I realised with a jolt, the other day, just how old I am. My age isn't something I've thought very much about before. Birthday celebrations have always been more about how yummy the cake was than the number of candles I was blowing out.

So it came as something of a shock to realise that I am now closer to ten years old. Mentally, I had been thinking of myself as eight. I have to admit, I went a little wild around the eyes at the realisation.

I wasn't panicking at the fact that the years are piling on, but more that I have to stop thinking I will play and have fun forever, and start making the most of everyday. There are things I can't put off anymore, like studying hard and be responsible to myself.

I suppose the signs were there all along, I was just too distracted to notice. I have grown taller, wiser and stronger. Weeks ago, I had my first spelling test and I got full mark! Now I do believe in "Where there is a will, there is a way".

We have just taken a peek into Ix Shen's thoughts about growing up .. being almost TEN! It was very well-written Ix Shen! Cheerios!

We look forward to seeing more writings from everyone in class on thoughts and feelings about growing and learning. You may write about anything at all .. share an experience! Be it an exciting one, sad one, scary one ..
