However, it had been a stressful year in 2010, but again, through hardship will I grow.
Today's investiture was a recognition of my efforts, and I am proud to wear that gold badge. As I shook Mr Low's hand, he gave me a firm smile and said, 'Good job, I am proud of you.' As ego-boosting that statement might have been, at that moment, I resolute to strive harder, and not to disappoint my mentors.
Sure that gold badge did not come cheap, neither will it last if I slack.
To me, the golden badge is a symbolism of my efforts, and expectation for me to do even better in future. I am grateful for the council experience Hwa Chong has given me, and I will treasure every moment.
