separation


During my eighteen years of life, I have seen and gone through quite a few separations, like separating from my parents, teachers or roommates, departing from home, leaving high school after graduation or breaking up with friends. I feel depressed every time I have to face separation, maybe because something I feel will exist forever is suddenly coming to an end. We suppose it will be a long time before anything changes, but actually departure is just around the corner.
Two weeks later, our bridging course of English will come to an end and it also means our Group 6 will separate. We have been together studying Englishfor more than 5 months. It is nearly half a year, but I still feel time is quite short for us to get to know each other. When I first started the bridging course, I thought it was quite a long time, but now it seems time flies so fast and just in a twinkling, the course is near the end. Moreover, only after two months, we will finish all bridging courses including c programming and economy course. Then we SM3 students will be distributed to different faculties and halls and it also indicates the present big community of 19th batch SM3 students will no longer exist.We no longer attend the same lectures and may hardly meet each other afterwards.
I always feel sad when thinking about separation in the near future or maybe I am a little pessimistic. We do not have many “half a year” to make new friends, so I quite value every relationship with people around me. However, separation, on the other hand, also marks the start of new stage of life. We will see different beautiful scenery and make new lovely friends in the next stage of life journey. I just hope we can value every person we meet during the journey, for it is so lucky to meet each other among crowds of people.

  1. We have to admit that time flies so fast. I just feel like that I arrive at Singapore yesterday. During the bridging course, I have learnt a lot. But one thing I gain most is our friendship.From my perceptive, we are not only a group, but also a big family. My dear friend, thanks for your company.

  2. do not be upset! I think it is quite normal to gather together or depart with each other. it is just our life. since we depart, we will welcome more people around us; however, those old friends will be always waiting for us anytime anywhere. the friendship is most important and would never vanish .

  3. Dear Chen Zhe

    I felt a little sad after reading your blog; we tutors do miss the students too.

    Well, make sure you get all the contact details of those students whose friendship you treasure and (actively) do your part to keep the friendship alive.

    And life is worth living much much more when you have your friends (defined as those who know the worst about you and love you just the same) to live life with.

    Now your tutor but when SM3 is over, your friend...Wilson
