Promotion Ceremony

Well tomorrow's the day! We are finally getting promoted XD But please, before you rejoice, do think back at the past year.

Do you think that you have given your best?

Do you think that you deserve your new rank?

How do you think that you can improve and change?

Here's a little message for all of you.

To the secondary ones,

You have done well in adapting in RCY. That's a good thing but please do note that DISCIPLINE is also very important here. Are you coming to trainings and meetings regularly? Do you greet the seniors? Do you sit like a Gold unit? Do you have a sense of urgency? To quote your Winnie M'am, "do you check your bearings?"

But most importantly, do you respect and look out for your fellow squad mates?

Unity is strength my dear juniors. RCY may seem tough at first but the rewards of persevering is worth it. We have been through if I can say, far worse than what you have and if we can survive and emerge victorious against past fears, why can't you?

To the secondary twos,

Not bad... It is a joy to see the secondary twos growing as a batch and bonding;) with the other schools. You were the batch who experienced the motivational times of JY M'am and the sec 4s and I apologise if the past two months under our leadership did not quite inspire you the way the sec 4s did. But brace yourself! We're pulling our socks up :) I believe CAC was quite a blow to you guys. It was to all of us too but it's okay. Just LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.

Take responsibility for your actions. Don't do last minute work. Be serious. Be respectful. You know you're improving not only for our unit, your seniors or the YOs. You're growing for yourself! Take note of that. You're getting your new ranks tomorrow. Don't make the same mistakes Corporals-to-be. It'll be your turn to lead soon.

To the secondary threes,

Hey batchies. The past two months have been turbulent. Proposals planned and edited repeatedly, never-ending. Late night online meetings. Deadlines. Camp. Trainings. Badges. Accreds. Misunderstandings. Miscommunication. Quarrels. Resentment. 2hr Debriefs. Crying. Learning. Growing. Bonding. Joy. Juniors. Us. Our Vi. Our YOs. Our HSRCY.

We cannot let it fall. Let the revival begin.

To quote a fellow Red-Crosser:

To quote another fellow Red-Crosser (non-HSRCY):

It is the mistakes, the regrets, the misfortunes, and not the achievements that make you who you are. It is the path of defeat, not the joy of happiness, that makes you stronger. It is failure and not success that makes you wiser. It is the loss and not the gain that makes you cherish.

The next few months will be a mass spam of trainings for NDP and FAC and accreds.

Can we survive it all?

What we do in life echoes in eternity...

With much hope,
