Late June 2002

Concerning posts it is a very annoying matter. Many people say I am going to take part in the election of the Student Association in 03-04. I did have this idea when I was in Form 2 or 3. Yet, the reality is that this is not something as simple as I expected. Most importantly, once you are involved in this stuff, you will lose lots of friends. This is not something very funny. Moreover, you will find it hard to concentrate on studying once you stepped in. You will spend time analyzing the 'situation', thinking 'tactics', noticing any 'moves' of the opponents........I really hate this way of school life. The white badge is very attractive. I would say it is the best of all badges of the school. Once you get if, you can feel the honour. However, the cost would be a really big one. I don't mean opportunity cost, which is only the next best choice. In fact, I cannot figure out if there are any alternatives. I wish there were one for me. After all, no one wants to fool around and waste his sixth year in secondary school. Everyone wants to do something so that others can remember him, or at least think of him. That's why every year there are students taking the risk. In fact, there is no winner in this election. The ones who win will lose a lot also. In fact, democracy is not the best way for choosing a leader, especially in a micro-basis, ie inside a school. Anyway, the system is still standing. I get no way to challenge it. (in fact, i would not challenge it even if i were given the chance). The best solution is to walk away from this no-winner game.

But walking away is not something so easy. You will have to 'betray' your fellow partners. You will face accusations of unfaithfulness (Luckily, no one would stone you to death). No one will have sympathy on you, since they do not understand the situation. You have to bear tones of pressure. You will lose more if you run away at this very moment. You need more courage to quit then to face defeat (if you are unlucky). Can anybody give me some advice?? I think not. If there were, I would not have to reach this critical stage.

Once a teacher said,'' There is no need to fear. You only need to believe.'' Being a catholic, I am deeply inspired by that statement. Maybe this is the answer.

*(I give some advice to those who may want to be an ex-co of the SA: please think very, very carefully before you make any decisions. You are responsible for all your acts. Don't blame others when you face such a dilemma...........)
