The promise of greater potential?
I have seen Colvin Xu, ever since he was in 1A3.
He was a good boy - sheepish, quiet, and possessed remarkable stamina. He would consistently come in as one of the top 3 finishers whenever his class had a long run during PE.
Along the way, of course, he made a mistake in allowing some friends of questionable character get into his life. He became too close to them, and consequently, he lost his shine. I remember some teachers from the discipline committee (including myself) spending exhaustive hours monitoring them and getting them back to the right track.
Thankfully, Colvin's shine is coming back. He has removed himself from bad company, and suddenly he is lifted up again, above all those who are lazy, untrustworthy, and aimless.
He always has potential. For example, he is comfortable talking to small groups of students, coaching them in basketball. He is capable in event management, especially in sports. He is decisive and is able to perform well in organising and running a sports competition.
He always has this potential. I spotted it long ago. It's a pity, then, that during a critical time of a student's school life (between Sec 2 and Sec 3), he disappeared from the teachers' radar, as he faded away.
But he's back now.
I'm writing all these, to testify of the fine work he is doing, in leading the Sec One juniors through the training sessions in January.
I trust him enough to know that he can do a good job.
I admire the way he spoke firmly to the juniors. He was able to engage their attention.
Maybe next time, Colvin, you can pursue a career that involves interaction with people, sports or camps.
For the record, I feel that it is apt for me to express my thankfulness to Colvin, in leading the Sec One juniors in the past few training sessions.
Thank you.
Remember what I said to you. A leader leads by example. A leader knows the way and shows the way.
So you must practise what you preach.
Colvin, I leave you with an encouragement: you are destined for more success, but you must channel more energies towards your academic subjects. You must do well in both CCA and studies. This is the minimum requirement for you.
