hi all,
here's a little personal thought. i don't know if this is appopriate, so if you find it unsuitable to be around in the prefect blog, just give me a little hint okay.
so here it goes :
when i first became a prefect 5 years ago, i started to act differently and think differently. the reason? i felt that since i'm now a prefect, i shouldn't be the same as every other student in school right. of course, it didn't feel good trying to fit into your new ''identity'' initially. however, i had 2 more years to graduation from primary school. so eventually i had fun.
with my prior experience, fitting in as a prefect in secondary was slightly easier . of course, with my rebellious nature, it was tough to convince myself to tuck in my blouse and be neat. from that, i understood it was simply our mentallity towards things. once you manage to pass through your psychological barrier, you are one step ahead of all your peers in the prefectorial board who are still struggling to find themselves
so after i manage to get use to portraying the ''good girl'' image after 2 years of struggling, the teachers decided to push me one step further. to be above all. to be a nominee for head prefect. i got the post. initially, i was over the moon. it felt like there's a breeze as i walk. it seem so perfect. then the problem came. i saw the big picture, i realise once again, i have to learn to get use to my new identity. this time, a major change in identity.
it's tough getting use to something. if you enjoy drastic changes, you're definately a weirdo. so to all up and rising prefects out there, remember. its not all about looking cool and funky. you, yourself is the only barrier. its never easy. however, its worth a try.
love,
hazel
