title : Thankful.

Thankful. For everything that has happened up till now.

I'm thankful. For being able to experience great things in JC. My first year with 02/12 taught me many things. I learnt how to be a better leader from AB Camp. I met mnay people whom I've managed to keep in touch with even as of today. And mainly because I experienced true friendship and the spirit of Non Mihi Solum. The people who are more than willing to sit down and help me with my studies when they found out I was from combined science and not pure science stream. And not forgetting the few people who, till this day, I still look up to.

I'm thankful. That although I didn't make it for Promos, and I chose to stay in AJ. I can't say for sure how different my life would have been if I had left back then in April 2013, but what I've experienced the past 1 & a half year are things that made me feel like my decision was the right one.
- Thankful for my climbers. I know my leadership hasn't been the best, neither has it been up to many of your standards. But I truly am grateful that I was given the opportunity to lead you guys. I learnt a lot from you guys. Being a leader is not easy, and I admit that I sort of screwed up in almost every way possible. But I am thankful for you guys. Climbers are forever my inspiration.
- Thankful for my class, 02/13. You guys are truly the best class I've been in. Never have I had so much fun being in a class. The stress that you guys give me from all the intense studying and doing homework is something I have never experienced before in any other classes. Scary as it seems, it is actually the very source of motivation I needed. The push that I needed in order to stay on task. Although I constantly lag behind, but the kind people who are willing to help me, really, you guys are the best. And I'm thankful for the great teachers allocated to my class. Good teachers, a great class, can't ask for anything better.
- Thankful for the AJLG people. I know I haven't been very committed to all the meetings and services. Partly because of myself, as well as my parents. But the care and concern from you guys are just beyond overwhelming. Makes me feel like I don't deserve all that you guys have done for me. Coming to know God certainly took quite a bit of time. Thanks for not giving up on me, time and again. Especially since it took me months before I actually attended my first service.

Thankful for my family. Quarrels may occur every single day, but I still am thankful for you guys. Trying my best to be a good son to you guys.

And lastly, Thank God.
For everything.
My family. My climbers. My class. My friends.
And thank God for you.
