Time to say goodbye

Time to say goodbye
Time flies. When I looked at our schedule, I suddenly realized we had almost finished our bridging course. A sense of sadness arose from the bottom of my heart, and the end of the oral presentation also strengthened my emptiness. The course is coming to an end. There was happiness, regret as well as expectation; anyway, it is almost the time to say goodbye.
When I looked at the photos of our group, memories came flooding back: our first Chinese new year in Singapore, our picnic attacked by monkeys as well as the oral presentation. I found out the letters you gave me on Valentines’ Day, and they really made me feel warm and happy. I am sorry for I could not reply to all of you, and I really want to say thank you. I feel lucky to be the monitor, for it gives me the chance to know all my classmates better. Though I know, we have few very touching activities together, and perhaps we are not the best friends, I still feel happy and content to be with you.
I remembered the first lesson of Ms. Wong. She suggested us learn three new words every day and she said we can see progress after three months if we carry on. It sounds quite simple. However, like many others, I feel guilty that I failed to continue. Perhaps most of us will feel a little bit disappointed when the bridging cause comes to an end, for we may not have learnt as much as we expected. To comfort myself, I think at least I have learnt the style of academic writing and the process of doing research.
As for the research, it really brings me a lot, not only about the technique, but also about my mind. Perhaps a person is stronger than he could imagine. Before the presentation, we spent a lot of time preparing the research that I even dare not to think about failure. But after that, I am glad I recovered soon enough. I think at least I know there is much for me to learn and how can I do better in the future. I am sorry about what I have done wrongly in my group and I am really grateful for the experience. I love one sentence: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.” And it is important to do our best and learn as much as possible during the process. Only in this way, can we face the result calmly.
The bridging course almost comes to an end. There was happiness, regret as well as expectation; anyway, it is time to say goodbye. What we can do now is to treasure the left time being together and reduce the emptiness to the least. We can change the regret to the motivation for the future. Tomorrow is waiting for us. Best wishes for all of you, my dear classmates…
