Why is this newsworthy ?

Cancer relapse, but ACS(I) boy still gets perfect score in IB. So why have this article caught my attention? Have you ever imagine yourself being a cancer patient? Have you ever thought of being outstanding and the scholars of your school? And i got to say that i am very impressed by this ACS(I) boy , Samuel Chan.

 He’s a normal 18 year-old teen , studying in ACS(I) . However unfortuanately he was diagnosed with cancer yet he sat for IB ( International Baccaulureate ) instead of A levels like any other JC’s students. In fact, he was one of the world best scholars for IB.

 My attention was caught by the word ‘WORLD’ and ‘CANCER’. Being a 18 year old young teen , he had lose his basic health. He can’t play , run and jump like any of us. Not only that, he had to  go through transplant, chemotheraphy and radiotherapy. The process is painful and tiring. If this ever going to happen on me, i doubt i would even endure through the painful process.The courage and determination he had was indeed commendable.

On the other hand , what impressed me more was the score he had for IB. He was one of the scholars, not only in Singapore but the world. IB was’t an exam for only that period of time, but it requires a persistent attitude thorughout the entire 2 years. Despite being lethargic after al his therapy needed , he continue to strive and work hard throughout the year.

 Therfore i am very impressed with his admirable courage and commendable attitude .

 Only then I realised we are so fortunate to be healthy. At least , we do not need to be cautious of our health and we can place all our concentration and efforts for studies. Thus, if he can do it, why can’t we ?
