My school recently was in the limelight. First off, there was this competition where the winner is from my school, previous school to be exact. Now, there is this event where it really made my school famous, or rather notorious. I won't be talking about those 2 incidents as they have already spawned many replies.
I shall instead talk about the school. My second secondary school, which I am, unfortunately, less attached to. You see, I grew up in Petaling Jaya, studied in Damansara schools up till Form 2 when I suddenly shifted to Subang. Like a new born baby adapting to his new environment, so was I for a couple of months in a whole new environment.
Not that the friends I made were not kind and warm, in fact, they were. But still, I have many friends back in my old school which I knew from childhood. Suddenly I was thrusted in a foreign environment. I remembered going to my school on the first day in Subang.
I sat the school bus which arrived at an unearthly hour. Honestly, it was my first time sitting a school bus and I didn't like it. I used to walk to school. When I reached school, it was still dark. Very dark in fact. It was as if they forgot to switch on the lights or something. So there I was alone, in a foreign place, and it was dark! How bad could it be?
And then the first year went by with me making some friends along the way. It isn't easy making new friends and I empathise with those who changes school frequently. Then it had to happen. In form 4, I changed class to a class filled with entirely new students again. This time they were from a different clique altogether. So, then again I spent time remaking friends. Of course I was much better this time.
While my school boasts of being one of the best school in the area, curricular and extracurricular, sometimes I wonder what would become of me had I not stayed on in my previous school. Of course, I still like this school, I cherish the happy moments I had in school when I spent half a day just playing cards days before SPM and also the friends that I make.
And surely I am not ashamed of which school I studied in. The students make the school what it is, not the concrete structures who determine what the students will be like. But sometimes when lecturers ask which school am I from, I am pretty hesitant about answering. Mention the likes of Keat Hwa of Kedah, Chung Ling of Penang, Anderson of Ipoh, BB of KL, everyone would have some comment about the school. But when I mention SU of Subang, they would be like, where is that?
Now, with all the fame and press coverage for my school, I can expect more people to know when I say I am from SU of Subang. At least it brought out an assemblywoman in the Subang constituency and also many other youngsters who stands for what is right in this unjust society that we live in.
p.s. You didn't know Miss Malaysia Universe 2008 is from SMKSU? Neither do I
