We got North District Champion AGAIN!!!! For the 7th time, we got it AGAIN!!! The taste of success for our cadets is so sweet and I hope we can continue with this achievement again. On top of that, we have broken our record by being the 1st runner up for the whole of Singapore!

Some of the cadets cried when we got the North District Championship. When we went into the second round, we only expected to get a consolation prize like previous years. However, when the judge did not announce our school name, the atmosphere started to get excited. I expected a third in position but it was RI! Miss Neo and I went crazy at that point of time! We got 2nd in the whole of Singapoore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No words could describe my joy for the students when they announced Evergreen Secondary School. EVEgians could hardly contain themselves in the squad. I actually practiced my 360 degree jump of joy at home for this event but I didn't expect that we would get a 2nd placing in the whole of Singapore. I didn't know how to react. I stood down there, dumbfounded. "Am I dreaming? Is it true? We were better than RI and RGS?"
Teaching is really a meaningful vocation. It is not a job nor a passion. It is a vocation. A commitment to see that our students grow and be educated. Well done Redcross Cadets!
