Highschool
Beginning of senior life. In primary school, the teacher guided you to each class. The core teacher was often your most frequent tutor. In the realm of secondary school, however, a slip of paper called a timetable was given and you were your own navigator. Teachers tended to shift and you would have to adapt to each of their teaching approaches. The changes made the ascension seem significant -
Class switch
After being in the same class for numerous years, there has now been my first change of classes in a long time. I had grown so used to my previous class for, as aforementioned, I had remained in the same class for a number of years. So the shift in classes was somewhat of a surprise. I felt that this was quite significant to note as it tested the flexibility of the adaptability I had been developing and assisted to consolidate it in the process. -
Vice Captain of school
Elected as the said leadership role of Doveton College. It was a process to go through, yet with undying determination, I made it through. I surpassed the broken record called doubt and replaced it with a CD labelled "hope", for there were times when I was clouded by uncertainty. This was the day I proved to myself what I could do, what I could achieve and, undoubtedly, that there was so much more that I could keep developing and improving on, that there was so much more I could do. -
Berry Big Adventure Camp
Western Australia camp start. Organised by Berry Street. I had met everyone attending the camp at the airport. Ten of us had been selected, as there was an interview process, 5 females and 5 males, all aged 15-16 plus the 5 staff. Aside from staff, no one knew each other except two. Yet all-in-all, I personally did not feel too nervous and remained relatively calm. -
Returned from the Western Australia camp
As it was my first time leaving Melbourne, the time difference, despite only being a 2-hour difference, was a bit awkward as I returned, for Melbourne is 2-hours ahead of Western Australia. I had coped better the first time arriving at Western Australia, funnily enough.
This journey was the first time I experienced flying on an air plane and though the ones I was sitting beside on the plane were being pessimistic about the whole airborne trip, my feeling of calmness thankfully did not falter. -
First day of school
...after being in the camp at Western Australia for 17 days.
Presented a rap written on camp to class. It was nice to see everyone after all this time and how they have been going. They had warmly welcomed me back and had asked me questions about the camp as well as the experiences. Additionally, that expression of interest was also very nice to receive.
