D'ACE

If you're wondering what that means, it's the acronym for DARE TO ASPIRE, COURAGE TO EXCEL.

It's Fernvale's School Vision. It was born from all Fernvalers after a series of vigourous envisioning exercises.

It indeed takes a lot of DARE and COURAGE to dream about big things and do them well.

It's a good reminder to myself to work in that spirit and perservere. The going is tough, the learning curve is steep, and I have to make a breakthrough in myself to become a better person.

It's indeed not easy at all.

I do know that I am working at a higher level (a level that I have never worked at before) and I do have a great influence on the way the school runs, and the type of education that the kids receive. I am no more at the receiving end. I am at the producing end. So I've got to do my stuff!

Life is very challenging, isn't it?
