Compared to Primary, Secondary is much more challenging&nbsp; as I need to focus and listen more to my teachers. I felt that I had to be more serious in submitting&nbsp; homework and passing the tests. An example of the increasing difficulty is the fact that now, I have to use a calculator for the Science subject compared to Primary when I didn\u2019t have to. I also felt that I needed to study more as the subjects are now more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first few weeks of school, I was scared and shy to play Futsal in the Futsal field because I was not used to meeting different people during break time. The last time I played with other students was 2 years ago, pre-pandemic. It felt weird because I hardly knew any students from the Upper Secondary and Junior College. I\u2019m not much of a people person and I\u2019m really shy when meeting new people. Now, it is slowly changing as I am already able to adjust. I now have new friends and they are helping me to adjust and because of them, my excitement has increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first two weeks of school,&nbsp; I didn\u2019t remember that much lessons from Primary 6 because I had relaxed during the school break. Later on, I started to figure out more and got used to the new lessons I was learning as school went on. I started focusing much more on Computer Science and Art, since at Primary 6, I didn\u2019t pay much attention to these two as I was focusing more on Mathematics and English subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also joined the Newsletter CCA, The Quill, as one of the photo journalists as it is fun and I am fond of photography and I wish to contribute more to the team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I am looking forward to having more opportunities in the Secondary Level!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Roderick Rickie Tang, Secondary 1 Courage My name is Roderick and I am a Secondary 1 student of Bina Bangsa School Bandung and I will be sharing my experiences and thoughts as a freshman student.
