Dear Reader(s)

“A Positive Attitude can really make dreams come true.”

Here we come up to the last lag of this session with this issue

of the Newsletter. It’s been an eventful year, with changes and

challenges. I am looking forward to a more splendid academicyear- a year that will certainly have its own challenges, but

hopefully the good kind. Let’s create a future full of optimism

and enthusiasm, a future where every endeavour will succeed.

A little patience and sobriety will help us see through.

Remember, you never get the chicks by breaking the eggs; they

hatch. Where there is life, there is hope. Good luck for all our

aspirants… Keep toiling hard.

Dear students,

“Nothing can come in between you and your destiny, if you

grab hold of every opportunity. Nothing can come in between you and your fate, if

you strive to be great. Nothing can come in between you and success, if you give it

your best shot and nothing less.”

With the exams on the horizon for all of you, I want to wish you all the best for

the final leap.

This can be a stressful time of year but a little stress can be a good motivator. We

must make the extra effort we need to succeed. Stress can help us get off the

couch and pursue our goals.

When we’re feeling anxious or stressed, the thing we are most worried about is

failure. If things don’t feel as if they are going as planned right now, I urge you to

keep going. Work forward and learn everything that comes along the way. You

will learn more from your failure than from something you never achieved.

With the finish line in sight, I urge you to stay open-minded and positive, and

make your very best efforts over the next few weeks. This is your chance to help

shape your future.

I wish you all the best for the upcoming session and for the adventures that await

you in the months and years to come.
