The meet with the Woman

The 'debate' with Mrs Wee was so exciting and so challenging. We were all quiet when she spoke. The issues discussed were very meaningful. The way Mrs Wee answered our questions was terific. She could counter-attack each question that we asked. She shared with us some experiences which were quite interesting. What Mrs Wee said helped us alot and she warned us about our future. If we do not study hard now, I can't imagine how my future will be. She also told us something that really interested me. She told us about the chocolate story.

A scientist placed 2 toddlers in a room. He gave each of them a chocolate and told them,"I am going out for a while. When I come back and the chocolate is still in your hand, I will give you another chocolate. Sure enough, the toddlers' reactions were different. When the sciebtist left the room, toddler 1 ate the chocolate but toddler 2 did not. So when the scientist came back, he gave toddler 2 another chocolate. People like toddler 2 will achieve much in life. Mrs Wee also told us that our getting 230 as our aggregate is as good as getting 210, 190. That really captured my attention.

I agreed with some of the things she said. For example, regarding the fitness corner in our school. Still, there were some things that I disagreed with her. Like why on special occasions like Racial harmony day, we cannot wear our cultural costumes. I think that on these occasions, we should be allowed to wear cultural costumes or even home clothes.

The meeting was really very challenging. I really enjoyed it! Hope we can go up close again!
