Conclusion

Am I the same 'emo' (quiet and serious) yet overly rightious and innocent Secondary 1 girl, being emotionally wounded by bullies and gangsters on her silent quest to score high enough to get into a better Secondary 2 class?

Am I the same choir girl who 'never smiles' despite countless scoldings and suffers under the whole pretentious act on stage?

Am I the same student whose heartrate increases due to fear with each step closer to school, every single day?

Am I the same Secondary 3 girl who got introduced to and hooked on the Sonic series at the wrong time, pulling her grades down during such a crucial year, making her efforts put into her Secondary 1 year in vain?

Will I ever be as hardworking and persevering as I was in Secondary 4, pulling my grades back up under the test of time for the final graduating exams?

And I can genuinely smile and laugh happily without the constant image of my choir instructor scolding me in my mind or being on stage.

Onwards, to a new chapter of life.

P.S. Shoutout to and , my friends I know IRL - while the former was a 'parasite' to me (my poor tissue paper and stationery ;~;  and doesn't listen to advice sometimes ) and the latter is quite a chatterbox (speaks as fast as a bulletrain, leaving me no chance to voice out my thoughts during some of our conversations ), I'd like to thank you two for inspiring me, even though I sometimes felt envious of both of your skills but never admitted it ;w;
