Ong Xin Zhu (Yishun Junior College)

Hi all to you people who will be reading this!

Firstly, I want to thank Ms Foo for being such an amazing, caring and definitely hardworking teacher. She brought me to believe in myself and also in miracles. She gives up on No One and strongly believe that everyone will score sky high marks. “Aim for A* and you’ll get an A. Aim for A and you’ll get anything lower than that.”

Throughout my studies in Junior College, I didnt score exceptionally well in H1 Economics. Like the rest of my peers, it was a new subject. To tell the truth, even with tuition (which i joined in late J1), I barely passed my H1 and barely got promoted. Closer to the A Levels, I pushed myself (with the help of Ms Foo) to answer the questions posed in class. I would even worry when a classmate had answered the question way better than me and I almost actually lost all hope in myself.

But, the thing that kept me going was Ms Foo’s encouragement and never ending talks about remembering “links”. That nagging voice of linking cheered me on during the A Levels and I wouldnt even put down my pen until the examiner said so. My hard work and of course Ms Foo’s hard work paid off when I received my results on that fateful day (2 March 2015) and saw that I had achieved a big fat A for Economics! Whoohoo! Seeing that A on my results slip had led me to believe in miracles.

Thank you once again Ms Foo for your constant guidance and support!!
