you hold me down
Education is mind-blowing. It's the key to unlocking a brighter future for yourself and also the key to destruction of your future if you fail to do well. Cruel, harsh but the realities of life stare right in your face and I'm really REALLY glad to have used my brains well (unlike my brother who's the epitome of lazy) to get a place in university.Cher and I were just analysing how there are so many people out there who don't make it to university. Not that I look down on them or anything [I'm sure there are other areas in which they stand out in] but I'm glad that I'm privileged enough to be able to get into uni. I mean all this while I've been comparing myself to all the oxford and cambridge going kids; the smartest of the smartest, the creme de la creme because I've been surrounded by them (and I chose to be surrounded by them) but I've never looked at it in another light and realised that hey, actually I'm not doing too badly myself either.
Just the other day my daddy came up to me with that smile THAT SMILE on his face and he went 'Dorothy, I'm so proud of you.' I was like 'why?' and he went on to pronounce me the first Siok in the clan to have been admitted into a university. LOL. I do have cousins but since my dad's the eldest son so I'm the eldest Siok and all my aunts and uncles never made it to university so yup apparently it's something really big to them; big enough to warrant a meal at some place. My dad has already decided on which studio we'll be going to to take my graduation picture and I'm like ... WHAT?
Whatever it is, I'm learning to count my blessings :D
