My first blog entry...17-4-09

Hi everyone, let me introduce myself first =). I'm Guozhi, currently studying at Catholic High. Going to be 17, Class chairman of 3-1 this year. I like bboy stuffs, hanging out with friends, animals and nature. The reason I want to start a blog is unknown, haha. May be because I want to express myself in internet and possibly, improve my English. Lol.

Well, lets talk about today. Today is friday, last day of the week, supposed to be delightful about it. But I had 4 tests and had to handle a conflict between two classmate today. The conflict deeply moved me, really. It involved a classmate with bit of physical disability(muscular dystrophy i guess) and another with a vicious mouth. I shall name them as John and Andrew respectively(not real name). For a long time, Andrew had been calling John names. I believe the incident happened mainly due to the cumulation of resentment. The story began like this.

While i was packing my bag and leaving the class for CCA, John stood up, gazed at Andrew with fury while Andrew was teasing John for his disability.The next second, volcano erupted, months of resentment released. John began to chase Andrew, tried to confront him face to face. Andrew outruned and got away, continued teasing and cursing. With so much anger, John took a quick step to Andrew's table and swept the pencil box to the floor, then over-turned the table. Upon seening the over-turned table and stationeries scattered on the floor, Andrew approached with an iron fist with vicious verbal usage. Of course, this is the moment John had been waiting for. By the time, I knew something was about to happen. When John was about to launch an attack, I grabbed his small body with force. By the way, John did not say a single word during the incident, his nature is shy and inward... He attempted to break free for several time, but...his physical build did not allow him to do so. At the last attempt, I could remember, I shouted:" Calm down!". It worked. Now, what happened next, really shook me with great impact.

John still did not say a word. The next moment, he bent down to a table next to him, and started sobbing bitterly. It shooked me not because crying is uncommon in a boys school. It is because, I could really feel the emotion of feel wronged[委屈]. To be honest, I felt so sympathize with him, the salt water was about to drop from my eyes. But as a chairman, especially in this situation, must not show any weak side of yourself. Therefore, I controlled myself. Classmates and I tried to comfort John, who was still sobbing against the table. We blamed Andrew for his absolute rudeness and hostility toward John because we all knew John would not disturb others, even if others did it on him, he would just give a smirk. Guess what was Andrew's reaction? He rebuted with a rebukeful tone, he said " What did I do, this there anything wrong?'' I would tell you, its more than wrong. He just sliced at someone's self-esteem with a razor, left it bleeding. Obviously, Andrew did not put himself into other people's shoes. What if the less fortunate one is him? At that point of time, I felt like tearing Andrew's cursed mouth like the way KingKong did in the movie.

This continued for another few minutes... I trufully hope John would forget about the words came from Andrew. Everyone was not born perfect, we should not laugh and look down at those who are less fortunate than us. In fact, they need our care and concern the most. Goodnight.
