Holidays and stuff

My term holidays are coming to a close soon. I have to say that this was probably one of the most eventful breaks I've had since I started Poly life.
Over the past four weeks I've been running to and from school non-stop for trip preparations, camps, and project meetings. It's funny to think back and realise that just a year ago, I was the freshman to which all these preparations were directed at; entering the school for the very first time completely lost and a little apprehensive of what the future might bring, the life I was to lead in this new institution.
Looking back over the past weeks and further back on the year leading up to it, I am amazed at how much I've changed; both for the better and some for the worse. I am not perfect, and imperfect people can only strive for perfection but will never truly attain it on their own merit. I admit that I haven't been entirely faithful in my commitment to God whether through my actions, words or thoughts. It has not been an easy journey but I'm really thankful that the Lord placed me where I am today. Still learning, still growing, still trying to improve. But like what my sister always told me, "Nothing worth having comes easy". I'll continue to strive and do better not because other people tell me to, or because I want to beat the rest and be the best, or not even for any form of recognition. But my challenge to myself is to truly and wholeheartedly seek to please God. And in doing so, if I happen to find happiness on the way, then YAY ME :) But really, true contentment is a gift so great and satisfying it is a gift that the world cannot give.
