Cordelia first day in Endeavour Primary School

Today, 4th January 2011, is a big day Cordelia look forward to. She is very excited and restless. It's her first school day in Endeavour, attending her Primary 1. She is in class 1G. Filomena also started her Primary 3, in class 3B. Both are thrown into a new area with new teacher. New classmates and new friends. I am glad that both are able to settle down fast and adapt to the new changes and new environment. We strongly believe that education change life. Myself is a living example. And it's our hope to give our kids the best education. But, we hope the kids acquire not just knowledge but also wisdom. Be socially responsible and a caring individual.

A primary school friend of mine offered me this piece of advice after my PSLE. "Hard work and determination is the key to success". It has already been deeply etched into my mind and has became my habit. And, on my first year in NTU, another friend offer me this wisdom. "The key to success is often the ability to adapt". Both have great impact and influence on me till today. I am grateful to them. Sharing my life experience is my hope that my kids can also benefit from this wisdom.

Cheers, OKY
