The Next Lap

The fourth quarter of the year 2010 is soon approaching.  For the young ones, another academic year will soon be over.  It is an important year for them as they will be facing a streaming process which will determine the next phase of their school lives.  As it is, one of the young ones has just been asked to make his choice of combination subjects and he will need to make his decision by this Friday.

When his school principal had requested to meet all the parents at the beginning of the third term, the explanation of the streaming process was difficult to understand.  However, having seen the combination choices this evening, the Swallow realised that it was not as difficult as it had sounded.

Well, the young one has made his choices, and the Swallow and her mate approve of his choices.  As with his earlier choices of a secondary school, the Swallow and her mate are committing this matter to their Lord God.  The Swallow is thankful that her young one has decided to take this matter to the Lord as well.  The final outcome will also depend on his year-end results.

For the other young one, the streaming process is simpler and will only depend on her academic results.

So it is the next lap for the young ones even as they push themselves towards the end of the academic race 2010.  The Swallow and her mate are cheering them on; to be diligent and with their mind set on pleasing the Lord in all that they do.  As mentioned in her post "Well done!", it is the journey that counts.  Any good results will be a bonus.
