__8) Writeup for Term 3 (2009)__ This term has been rather hectic. Basically, I tried to study hard for my tests and it has been working quite well. My results have improved and I am more alert in class. Additionally, I also have to commit a fair share of time in my EP3 as section leader. Because I have to set a role model for my juniors, I have to sacrifice more time in order to be better and guide them well. This term has taught me how to appreciate time and not simply let it slip past without doing anything meaningful. From that, I realise that my predecessor, is in fact regretting a little that he didn't manage to achieve his goals for the section, and hopes that I will do well. I thought of what will happen one year later, where I am in his shoes and the next section leader has to bear the burden and continue the tradition. So, I decided that I want to make the most out of this probably once in a lifetime experience of being a leader in school.
