School of Future Leaders

To be there or there already?

Over breafast yesterday, the Principal told me her heart's desire ; to establish the panaroma of the school an inch further. She reiterated that we should profess it as the 'School of Future Leaders' and to make it work.

Yes, the school of future leaders and for future leaders.

Walking round the premises of the school, my memory stretched back to as far as it could hold and I wondered at all the students who have left us over the decade. Where are they? How can I tell of their stories? How many will tell me their stories? Are some of them aspiring to be towering figures in the country?

For the sake of history, I will try to find out ... as much as it permits.

So, each time I talk about some stories related to them it will be entitled ;

School of Future Leaders.

Incidentally, one figure walked in yesterday and said 'hi'.

As related some time ago, I remember this guy as someone different in class. He dreamt to be a cheer leader and a dancer. His essay told me of it. To make it a reality, he became a figure to behold in the co-curriculum field. So it is true to equate some aspiration and success with active participation in school. He gathered his croonies and bull- dozed through the cheer panel of judges because he formed the first all male team for the 'pom-pom' world and emerged the first ever champion team for the nation...boys don't go pom-pom but they did it and caught the nation's attention.

Then he successfully completed his STPM and enrolled himself in a 'dance degree' emerging again as the best student of his cohort from Universiti Malaya. He knew what he wanted. So what if he had been in the pure science stream in his school career ? He never forgo his dream. He shared that his mum allowed him a full say in what he wanted to do and laughed when he related how many friends' parents forbade them to enroll in such a 'dance degree'. So some of them became engineers, accountants and... still wanted to dance. So they join hands with him and dance, dance, dance even after their professional degrees.They don't want to be in their fields they graduated from. They only wanted to dance !

Yes, it's Chee Wei. He dropped by to say hello to his 'ibu' ; that close to her his heart is. So the Principal confirmed again - school of future leaders.

Chee Wei told me he has never worked for any boss before because he aspires to be the boss himself. In his words...I do not wait for opportunity to come my way; I create my own opportunity. I'm not used to being led cause Seafield trained me to lead... Wow, he sure knows how to 'bodek'...compliment; something up his sleeve? Trying to get business?
Today he is the boss of 'Cheer Aspirations' and provides training services to those who need them. He also does retailing in sports equipment and evrything related to cheer business. He employs many Seafieldians and is still the leader wherever he goes. He is bold and the sky is the limit. He told me he is single but not available. What does that mean?

We will be seeing more of him ... official coach of "The Vulcanz"; the very team he formed in his school days.

Proud of Chee Wei.
