A Letter to My Classmates in Senior High School
Dear Classmates,
We have not seen each other since we parted last summer. When the vital examination had finished and we knew our results but did not know which university we would be admitted into, we held a party, a wonderful one. We were all very gratified on the party. Most of us drank too much beer that day, but I drank very little, I was sober, and at that moment I had the vibe of sadness. At that time, I knew how deep our friendship was. I bet that we will never encounter such classmates, and never build up such friendship because everything that happened in those three years cannot happen again. Then we entered different universities, which might associate with or disagree with our ideals, and now we except me scatter in many cities in China and we live nearly like a group of parallels.
We spent three years together for the special duration of life. We helped each other, wished each other, and then improved together. We were totally strange to each other when we met for first time. At the first day of our life of senior high school, I was appointed to the temporary monitor. Frankly speaking, I had been the monitor for only half a year in the last year of middle school at that time and was nearly the same as a freshman. A month later, our head teacher announced that there would be an election for class committee. Considering my character, I decided not to participate. However, our head teacher added my name to the list of candidates. That night, I just spoke something from my heart on the platform, not hoping to be elected the member of class committee, but the final result was that I turned member of class committee. You gave me an opportunity to show myself and challenge myself, which was the most important. As a consequence, it changed me much, I learned much from it, and I will appreciate it forever.
In the year of senior 3, we, Class 13, Grade 2005, and they, Class 12, Grade 2005, suffered from an annoying experience. I did not want to mention much about it. What I only wanted to say is our friendship was deepened through it and we learned much from it. We understood to cherish what you owned now and accept what you were unwilling to and had to. When I recall my senior 3, I cannot express my feelings explicitly and feel everything is as ambiguous as before. The sole exact emotion is exhaustion. I tried my best, but everything drove out of my planned road. My academic results were bad, and I had to deal with class affairs related to classmates from former class 12. I must be very careful when dealing with such things because I must consider their feelings much. I felt very fatigued, but I could not relax myself. Fortunately, you accompanied me, spending the hard time. I appreciate it.
To me, the final academic results of three years were not ideal. It is satisfactory that I made acquaintances with you and became friends with you. Wish you happiness and success at present and in the future.
All the best!

Dear JinLong
ReplyDeleteYou are a much stronger and more experienced person today because of the difficulties you went through during your University days. Most importantly, you must remember to learn from your past and not to repeat the same mistakes (of the past).
I think that you real have emotions with your classmates. You all spend a good time together. I think that it is the most unforgettable thing. You should value your friendship and I think the memory will last long.
ReplyDeleteYour essay reminds me some of my memories of my senior high school. I miss my classmates and my teachers very much. However, we can never go back to the past. We still have some valuable memories which will last long. I think now we can value everyday and leave more happiness and less regrets.
ReplyDeleteThe life in senior high school is really unforgetable. We studied together. In this three years, we spent more time with our classmates than any one else, even our parents.
ReplyDeleteSo the relationship among us is quite strong. No matter how far we apart, we will not forget it and someday in the future when we get together, the memories in senior school will be something interesting we share with each other.
I think you are a very hardworking man. You always tried your best to do well. I think you will be as successful here as before. We can also be good friends. I think the life in Singapore will also be the experience you will treasure in the future.
You`ve shown me the other side of you,Eric. You`re usually so quiet in class. I`m so glad that you`ve taken on challenges,and these experiences have strengthened you. I hope you`ll be given more opportunities to bring the best out of you. Press on ,Eric! I know you will not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your care and support. I am grateful that there are so many commenting my blog, providing me with advice and encouraging me. Now I am trying my best to bring the best out of myself. I believe that under the help of you I will be happy as before and gain good academic results.
ReplyDeleteI can see you are a young boy of passion, what you’ve written really makes me miss my lovely classmates in high school very much. We,too,had a wonderful party after the college entrance examination, it was quite exciting, but at the end of the party, it became extremely sad. Seeing most of my classmates hugging and crying, I struggled to hold back my tears, I knew I was going to miss them very soon. Throughout all the three years, my classmates and I were sharing our happinesses and sorrows with each other, It was also in that three years when I met my two best friends. I agree with you that we are never going to made such wonderful friends, because as we step into the society, people are no longer that pure and innocent.
ReplyDeleteI do cherish those memorable days when I was with my dear friends, even today, I can still remember every single detail of it. But since we all have our own way to go, we have to get to know new people and make new friends. I believe with kindness and honesty, we can still gain as true friendship as we had back in high school.
