embodiment of second chances

Created by isaac one month ago

When I was in sec 1, I studied in SOTA... after failing badly, I had no other choice but to leave the school. My parents and I applied for many schools but Ms Wong was the only one who got back to us and she gave me a second chance. She always check in on my progress and her doors were always opened for me to share my struggles with her. Eventually, I forced myself to do the best I could to make her proud. I remember I wanted to become a school leader so badly just so I could shake hands with her and to show her that she did not make a wrong decision. 

 

Now, about 14 years later... I am a social worker/counsellor who believes in offering others the same second/third/fourth chance and to be the "Ms Wong" to the youths. I am deeply deeply saddened by her passing and regret that I was not able to thank her for the chance she gave and for believing in a student who did extremely badly in school. Now I am looking forward to getting a Masters and I would have never accomplished all of it if it wasnt for you, Ms Wong who saw gold in trash. Thank you Ms Wong. I am forever indebted to you!
