As most of you know, I just had my commencement ceremony last Saturday, which officially marked the end of my days as a full time student.

Looking back at the past 4 years, I really have to thank God for His faithfulness and grace. I was never an ace student, more like an average one compared to my peers. Just look at my Sec 4 grades just before the 'O' levels:

Subject	Overall Mark	Grade
HIGHER CHINESE	47	D7
ENGLISH LANGUAGE	79	A1
CME (KNOW & SKILLS)		A
ENGLISH LITERATURE	70	A2
GEOGRAPHY (REVISED)	75	A1
MATHEMATICS D	65	B3
ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS	40	E8
PHYSICS	57	C5
CHEMISTRY	56	C5

Nothing to be particularly proud of. I still remember when I first entered the university, I had to relearn how to use my calculator all over again; I couldn't even find where the fraction button was! Yet God allowed me to eventually graduate with a bachelor's degree with honours.

So work hard and take heart that whatever results you receive, it is all part of God's plan for you; do not be dismayed even if you get what others consider poor grades. God is faithful, and watches over each and every one of us.
