Reflection Journal. Something all too familier for RP student like myself. But back in the primary and secondary days, it was something for you to write about and let your teacher be updated with your personal life.

Tears filled my eyes as I read my brothers RJ. Mind you he's only 9 years old. But what you read now , will make you think differently.

Brothers RJ :
"Last week, my dad died. So I had to attend a lot of things such as funeral and go through some pain. I am also sad which I think I will forget it after a long time. But I am quite happy today 18/09/05. Since the exams are coming I will try to get high marks. And one thing may I request something Mr Chong. Can you help photocopy my test result ( the one you put in the report book ) So I can burn them for my father to see . Thank You "

Teachers Reply:
"I'll try and meet you request. Want to let you know life is like that and I guess all of us will have to go through it. Some prehaps earlier than others. I'm so proud you have been coping well . Don't feel sad . Be strong and work hard for your SA 2. I'm sure your dad wil lbe proud of you too. "

Brothers Replying RJ :
" Thanks for encouraging me on last weeks Journal. The moment I read it, it reminds me of the happy memories me and my dad spent. I think you were right life is just liek that. Nothing can be helped, just like the naughty boys in our class and I can't help them too. Because if you try to change them, things will get worst. So you should let them change by themselves then maybe they will really turn over a new leaf. And you don't need worry about my financial problems. Because my relatives are helping . "

This is the full excerpt from my brother's RJ . For someone of his age. It simply shows maturity . Can't help to tear again .
