My stay here at GJC has been fun and challenging. It has been very exciting and confusing. I was so excited the day I came but as soon as my parents left me, I felt abandoned and deserted and started to cry. I thought that I would not be able to cope since it was my first time out of home. As time went on, I started to learn that I needed to adopt and I tried my best to start. When the orientation had gone for about 3 days, I started to adapt to the school routine. I liked orientation especially when we had to learn the school honour code; I enjoy memorizing it. I also experienced many other programs like the variety night, social evening, and I also wrote class continuous assessment test. So far, my experience in GJC has made me understand what a boarding school is like and you need to learn to adapt.
This term, I realized that many people were not fit for me to have as friends. I first related with people from different houses, I talked to my primary school friends who were also in my house. I found it difficult to socialize with others and express my feelings as well. It was not easy to learn but as though I have started the journey to boarding school I had to finish. I had to make conflicting decisions this term and it made me face a lot of challenges. At first, I had to resolve the disagreement between my friends and it worked successfully. I also found it difficult to jot down things during classes without the help of someone or the teacher writing on the board. I also find it difficult to wash my clothes myself in the morning. I am literally improving all areas of challenges and now I am okay staying in the school. In all, GJC has impacted a lot to me and taught me how to manage myself well and discover my talents.
