Hi guys! I am back again for the final time, you won't be seeing me on the web never again. I would be an anti-blogger for the rest of my life. Nah, just joking! :) Well, I am sure that everyone has met a challenge before, be it in academics or in your life. I am in the same boat with you all, I have just met the most challenging task in my academics so far, of course not in my life!
So what is the task that could be so challenging? Hmm...is it a really HUGE homework? It is just a mathematics project, although I have came across numerous projects, but it was the most challenging one I have ever came across in my whole life! Well, the really CHALLENGING project goes like this... We had to put four heads toghter and think of two methods to measure the diameter of our school crest ACCURATELY. After selecting the better method, we had to perform our calcuations and decorate them CREATIVELY on a board. And what's more, they held a HUGE percentage in our CA1! We had to take it extremely seriously! You may think that the project is very easy, just send someone to abseil down and take a measuring tape with him. However, we were 'banned' from measuring the diameter of the school crest directly or fear a HUGE '0'! To add to our misery, we did not have any measurements to aid us to the answer! We were only given a hint, use Congruency and Similarity in the Secondary @ Mathematics Textbook. Sounds impossible, doesn't it?
But there is nothing to worry! Have you heard the famous proverb 'If there is a will, there is a way.' I am sure that most of you have heard it but I do not know how many of you believe in it. Well, i wish to tell those who don't believe it to learn to do so. After we were briefed on the project, practically the whole class lamented about such a challenging project, and being impossible to complete. But after the intensive brainstormings and discussions, I and my group finally found two methods that could accurately measure the diameter of the school crest, even without sending one of us to abseil down! So as you can see from here, although at first me and my group thought of this challenge an impossible one, but we believed in deriving two accurate methods and we finally did it! Now, I and my group are coming to the end of the project and are meeting tomorrow! After hearing this incident, I hope I have brought home an important moral that is 'If there is a will, there is a way.' As long as you have the will to suceed, nothing is impossible! Well, that is all! I hope you have learned some lessons from some of the blog entries i have posted the last fortnight!
