We are more than our mistakes
Don't be predisposed to think that everyone harbours ill intentions, or that a wrongdoing or two means that that person is really incorrigible. I really think that certain Hwachong teachers need to give this a lot of thought; it's seldom that I question an educator's integrity and character, much less someone who is of higher authority than the average teacher. Don't abuse your authority, please.
I was reading Postsecret yesterday, and came across a few secrets that really struck me. One was by someone who used to be a sex offender, one was by someone who knew an ex-sex offender, and another was by someone who was sexually violated in the past.
From their exchange on the website, I remembered one line the most: that we are more than our mistakes. We may be judged by how we were at our worst, or defined by the worst that has happened to us, but most importantly there will always be at least one person who realises that we are more than that. That we should be remembered for being strong and for making the effort to learn from our mistakes and change ourselves.
My image to others may have been largely cemented by what happened when I was Sec 1 or 2, but it's up to you to find out if I've changed, to not be a coward and admit that you've been wrong about me, and to change your perception of me.
Stay true yourself and don't stray just because someone, somewhere, is judging you.
