To all Dunmanians, have yall read the email from Xu Zi Jia?

Well, i have.

After reading his email, I realised that life is really very vulnerable, however cliche that is. One moment he was just like any other Dunmanians- studying, playing, enjoying life. The next moment, he was struck with cancer which changed his life. He had to struggle with all the side-effects and at the same time, trying really hard to catch up with things in school. I guess it was pretty unexpected? In the sense that, who would have thought he would had cancer? It happened anyway, and now he is suffering from so much pain that even I, who havent heard of him before this, feel sad for him.

He's really a very strong person. Think about it. If you were him, how would you feel and how would you react? I think I'd probably cry all day, blame everyone for everything, give up on myself and just stay home. I doubt I'd ever think of hanging in there and continue with my life. But he didnt. In fact, he faced everything optimistically and even decided to continue taking his 'A' levels this year.

This really impresses me. I have no idea how he's gonna manage it but as a Dunmanian, I believe that he can pull through everything and I hope he stays strong. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. Perhaps everything is gonna work out perfectly, you'll never know. Whatever it is, he will always have us, Dunmanians, behind him and supporting him.

Life is full of surprises. You'll never know what's ahead of you. So cherish everyone and everything around you.
