The Primary 6 pupils collected their first major national examination results in the form of PSLE on the morning of the 25th November - one which is likely to be extra special this year due to the circumstance of the COVID-19 situation.
As these students go deeper into the future from their present moment, uncertainty increases with the logarithmic value of every misfit score divergence that they received on their PSLE subjects.
Every distinction score that they see printed on the paper deserves a heartened relief and a spontaneous burst of applause because it's the output of a long harvested effort.
I can tell you that myself personally because I couldn't and didn't score any single distinction myself when in hindsight I could have worked harder (and perhaps scored a little better).
I just wasn't matured enough back then to switch on my gear to go into excellence mode.
But what are we exactly applauding these students for?...
