14.11.2008 will mark the end date of your journey in Dunman for 4years. For some, it is laden with joy and successes and for others, the road has been more bumpy with setbacks. One thing is for sure, whatever path you take...
My Lit Students will find this familiar but I urge you to read the passages below:
A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you knowdoesn't say much for them, does it?"
"I'll say not," said Jem.
"So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em, to their senses, didn't it?" said Atticus. "That proves something -that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human. Hmp, maybe we need a police force of children ... you children last night made Walter Cunningham stand in my shoes for a minute. That was enough."
In life, we will often be pressured to act like people in a mob (gang) in order to fit in. It is especially in gangs or in big groups where even wrong actions can seen right because you become blind to the actual truth. It is my hope and wish for everyone in 4F'08 to grow and become the discerning individuals who will question and query acts of peer influence (be it fashion, attitudes and actions).
Afterall...
The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience
Go forth 4f'08 and begin carving a good chapter of your lives ahead.
Here's Ms Ong wishing you all the best in your endeavours and life's richest blessings! :)
