Mee-Kaa-Aaa-Eeelll

Well well well... What have we here? Oh, that's the pronunciation for the name of my Alma mater (which I learnt from the last of the best principals - Mr Louis), the USED-TO-BE great St. Michael's.

I'm sure most of you would be wondering what has all those graphs got to do with my school??? Let me explain, I'm sure those concerned old michaelians out there might be surprised!

Okay, let's see, ermmm concentrate on the graph in red.
Three arrows, three different generations/phases.
1. yellow - signifies Mr Louis' term as the principal
2. light green - obviously, after he retired
3. red - what i predict, but one thing, the tip of the arrow should be further down!!

Next, what about this??

A graph with a zero gradient which increased with a steep gradient and down with an almost constant gradient at the end.
BUT, what I want to highlight is the last part, which is the near constant gradient.
That signifies the effort of caring michaelians with high 'michaelian spirit' who tried to bring back to school to its glory but only managed to slow the process of the school going
DOWN, DOWn, DOwn, Down and down

These concerned michaelians are just trying to do something good for the school we care we love, OUR ALMA MATER!!!
BUT, what's the point when you go nuts cracking your head till you think about it day and night but no actions are taken by the people who has the upper hand???
??WHERE ARE THEM??
WHERE???

I'm just being another concerned student of St Michael's, a prefect in the Prefectorial Board, a student who has been in two phases (under two principals), a student who hopes for the best for his school, a student who has been in the school for seven years and trying to do something so that 'they' realise something and ACT not sitting down and nodding in agreement but doing nothing!!!

From the point of view of the secretary of the Prefectorial Board, the school is really heading the wrong direction-- the path to heaven...

And notice the second graph, the last part which I highlighted, I think it's the effort of a friend of mine, the Head Boy who has his visions and missions who tried whole-heartily to do something for the school, to serve, to make a difference and TO STAMP A CHANGE. But all his effort and his fellow exco members has just gone deep below the drains!! WHY??? WHY IS THAT SO??? He'll be always thinking, using all the resources he had to come out with something, to improve according to ideals, but he has been cracking his head for NOTHING, yea NOTHING!! It's really like eat PREFECT, drink PREFECT , sleep PREFECT....
Consequently, it was the darkest Monday in history for SMI when the HEAD Boy resigned. I think this is the first time in the history in SMI where the Head Prefect could actually resigned.
Even so, the people who received his letter just accepted without any questioning but with a SMILE, a cynical one. And no one actually approached him to speak about it in 24 hours!! Can you imagine that???

You may call me stupid for telling the whole world of the condition of my school and there's nothing to be proud of it.
You may also call me dumb for posting something like this.
And you may call my friend dumb for resigning considering the number of months left for his term and could call him a coward for leaving all the unfinished business to his fellow members.

But I do have my fullest respect for him as it takes alot alot of courage to do something like that and he was more than a leader, he was an inspiring person who fights for his rights. He may not serve the school as a prefect, but I'm sure a person like him could do wonders anywhere he goes.


Now, let's hope this would be the tipping point for SMI, too bad the ones to sacrifice are the prefects. May St Michael's show its true colours again, not this!!
However, it's just a hope. In reality, it's very unlikely it'll change and maybe impossible!!

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!!
