The Model Student – Chin Sing Yu
Introduction
Why settle for average when you can be extraordinary? Chin Sing Yu, the head prefect of Han Chiang High School, embodies this mindset with her outstanding achievements. She consistently brings pride to the school through her academic excellence and numerous competition wins.
Dealing with Problems
When facing problems, she would maintain a cheerful mindset and address the issues calmly because rushing often leads to further complications. Whenever she feels frustrated due to external factors, she allows herself to do whatever makes her happy for that day, such as eating good food, enjoying beautiful scenery, or taking a walk. Other than that, when managing her time, she stated that she is a classic spontaneous person, preferring to arrange things as they come, so she rarely uses a timetable to discipline herself. However, she does use a checklist to list all the tasks she needs to complete, indicating their importance, to remind herself when to do what.
Competition
Furthermore, she mentioned that at the end of last August, she was particularly proud of the academic achievement she had the opportunity to represent Han Chiang High School in the National Trilingual Speech Competition held at Kuang Chee Chinese Independent High School in Negeri Sembilan. She stated that she achieved the honour of being the overall runner-up, securing second place in the Malay speech, third place in the Chinese speech, and a consolation prize in the English speech. In addition, she stated that this is the result and reward of her efforts and struggles over the past 10 years of her speech career.
Preparation
Besides that, She stated that before each competition, she prepares thoroughly, making the most of the preparation time to perform at her best on the day of the event. Although things don’t always go as planned, and she may fail in some competitions, this doesn’t extinguish her hopes. Instead, it encourages her to keep pushing forward. Additionally, she often participates in competitions she’s never entered, which satisfies her curiosity about new fields and provides her with a platform to explore her potential.
Thanks and Advice
Moreover, she mentioned that during her secondary school years, she was fortunate to have a group of friends with whom she could confide. Sometimes, when she had to go out for competitions, she would fall behind in her studies, but her classmates would share class content with her after school and voluntarily help her with her homework. Then, she stated that throughout her secondary school years, every teacher who has taught her has provided tremendous help, both academically and in her competitions. Afterwards, she advised the students of Han Chiang High School to dream and set high goals. She hopes that everyone can take brave steps to explore the unknown.
