Something that occured in school...(4th Official Blog Post)

Welcome to my fourth post of the CA1 Blog Assignment! Today we had It Club. YAY! The lower secondary students had been promised by the upper secondary students that we would learn a new software! This meant that we had another way to edit and make cool new stuff! Once I mastered this software, I could make cool new things like fonts with a metallic effect or make fonts with a blood splash effect! (I know these type of stuff can be done at one of those font creater websites but isn't doing it yourself much more satisfying and it really looks a lot more cooler).
Anyway back to the point, this guy called Ganesh was in charge of teaching and imparting the knowledge of all the useful softwares into secondary 1 and 2 students. I can tell from his facial expressions that he was really trying to be patient with us. Some of the secondary 1 students were really irritating. They would suddenly make a stupid and totally random comment which disturbed the "teacher". If I were him, I really wouldn't have such a high tolerance level. After a few distracting comments, I would have ranted at the annoying junior. For this, I applaud him. Some of the secondary 1's were also very diligent and hardworking.(Even more than I was when I was sec 1) Some of them even stayed until 6.30 pm just to finish a homework that we were assigned by Ganesh. It was simple but instead of just handing in some substandard piece of work, they went to search for ways to improve their work. Working so hard just for an assignment that is not even counted in exams, they really must have put their heart and soul into their assignments. This really touched me and I also felt ashamed at myself. Having a junior that could put in more effort than I could?
Finally, I'd like to end this post with a quote and my school motto 'Nil Sine Labore'(Nothing Without Labour). This three word motto really means a lot. Nothing can be achieved without labour and we must always work hard to get what we want and succeed.
