A random search on the Internet made me delightfully appalled.
I have never imagined I can have anything to do with Tsing Hua University except that I have been there for once two years ago. Jumping out of China's education system naturally detachs me from everything that would set a senior high school student excited. Even the most prestigious university in China seems so far away from me, physically and mentally. Tsing Hua used to be a dream so far-fetched. I can only be a visit to worship it; and being part of it is virtually holy.
Yet my footprint was left on Tsing Hua website: http://www.ziyuanv.cn/ That is merely amazing.
I have never expected my feeling towards a trip can be perpetuated in this way, remembered by the most prestigious tertiary institution that a high school student can dream of. I have never expected my memory of a school that touches me can be made immort osal.
It is a beautiful encounter.
An encounter that lets a dream burn again. I remembered my previous form teacher asked me,"where will you go if you cannot go to Singapore?"
I remembered my answer.
There are two answers: one blurted out between my lips, one etched in my heart.
My mouth said:"Tsing Hua."
My heart said:"Sure I can make it to Nan Hua."
There is not right or wrong. I have achieved what I used to aspire. That part is great. Yet I also realise the disparity between ambition and reality~
That part is even better...
24th April will be my first Speech Day, on which I will receive the credits for my hardwork in 2008 as well as yet another scholarship. The Day reminds me of my worth, yet the joy is not lasting. However, finding my name on Tsing Hua website really sends my mind reeling.
Is that where my real dream lies?
No matter what the answer may it be, I know the importance of focusing on my current dream: to fulfil a dream left behind by my seniors.
"Change we can believe in."
I will get there!!!For sure!!!
