Second phase of education

"What, more homework!! Ai ya, die liao lah. Teacher can give lesser homework or not." These were the pleas all the students of my generation have for our teachers.
Then back in Primary 6, I always thought that this was the toughest challenge, the PSLE. But, I was wrong. Primary 6 was indeed the toughest challenge, at least for then, just yet.Back then, on most occasions when we were given a set of assignment to do, we simply complaint all day long. Easily, we could hurl endless lines of complaint. Too many homework,too many tests, can't cope, stress. Those were the possible complaints you would hear from us.
It was only until now that I realise life as a primary 6 student, was peanuts. Secondary school life varies greatly from that of the primary one. As we mature physically and mentally, the way people treat us changes. People don't treat us as little kids anymore. Rather, they feel that we are at the stage where development is vast, when we become more independent. Many things that can be tolerated in the past cannot be the same as it was now. Life in secondary school requires us to be more independent in our studies as well as handling important issues. And of course there will be mandore assignments and regular tests. In fact, assignments and tests are not the only issues that matters now. Seminars Camps, CCA, and the list continues. We are required to juggle our life which consists of all these events that will occur in secondary school. But all these have their own benifits. Without these, our development process would be much slower. They are like the ingredients in a dish which nurture or mould us into what we are. Moreover, this second phase of my educational life is the toughest, yet. So my advise to those in primary school is to stop procrastinating and start now.
