But it was a worthwhile decision.
To be able to say that I study in CNSHS is an honor. It is a prestigious school, after all. Academics is of utmost importance here. There are even elective subjects for additional knowledge.
I was in Grade 6 when one of my friends asked me if I would like to take the entrance exam of this school. I agreed, thinking that it would be a good opportunity. The next day, I had an application form in my hands.
That was the first time I heard of CNSHS.
I remember every screening: the nervousness within me, the anticipation. My other friends were very supportive, telling me I can pass the tests. Hearing those words of encouragement helped me, but there was still something gnawing at me. I didn't study for the exams. I wasn't prepared.
I took the tests with fingers crossed. Every time the bell rang, I jumped in my seat. After the exams, I met up with my friend and chatted for a while before parting ways. Thankfully, we both passed the three screenings.
Looking back on it, I see we've come a long way.

I've been studying here for three years. It's not a walk in the park, but I manage–enough to keep on going. There's still one school year left for me until I graduate, and I'm sure I will continue my studies here. Being in this school has taught me a lot of things. I learned to speak up once in a while and to spend my time wisely. I learned to get along with people who are very, very different from me and put aside my unpleasant thoughts for the sake of cooperation. I faced the music in spite of my reservations. All these little things paid off, of course.
Everything I learned in this institution will be helpful to me in the future, of that I am certain.
