The Finals...

Today, was the day, that the day, said that the day would be good, as predicted. Finals sound like a word to be taken into account, especially when it comes to your CCA. The stadium was packed and filled with students swarming all around the place. Hwa Chong students were visibly seen with their uniform so "neatly" tucked in, and them being clustered into a group. I was one of them, as I was a reserve for the first team, or should I say, Reserve's reserve's reserve's reserve. Yes, that is my position and I am proud to be there.

I always wished to run in an atmosphere full of students cheering hard and the atmosphere was present today. However, I lack the speed and technique to be fit running for the school as the Secondary Twos were extraordinary! Although we did not get first for our relays events, eventually, we got 1st for the overall points.

The whole Hwa Chong Track and Field team was invited to the field. There was a gut feeling that something good will happen. And it did. The B boys won 1st too!!! Having the experience of standing still and singing the school song proudly in front of the audience was extremely valuable to me. Deep inside my heart, a sense of pride stood like the Tan Kah Kee statue in school, high and mighty, proud of myself, Jack Tan and most importantly, proud of my school, Hwa Chong Institution.
