THIS IS HOW WE BEGIN
We were brought to the music room in the ADP classrooms for a video viewing. It was a theater play which was directed by Mei Ann and Mr Rey himself with a group of college students from China.
It started by showing the actors' life as infants demanding for their mothers and slowing developing into teens through the years. There was a scene where a student was forced to kneel down to seek forgiveness from the teacher. We were told that it was a common thing in China.
It then skips to a different story where a group of friends sat down and told each other about their personal problems. One girl came up talking about how her peaceful loving family had been torn down due to her father's addiction to alcohol which caused her mother to proceed to a divorce. Since then, she never got to see him. Another story was about a girl losing her grandfather which hit me. It brought me back to regretting, wishing I was there before my granddad took his last breath.
We watched them struggled in their exams and I could relate to their feelings shown through their expression as I still go through with these thoughts and feelings each time during/after an exam. There was a girl who cried after her unsatisfying marks which reminded me very much of myself but I was always told that its useless crying over spilled milk. Then we watched the cast graduating to college and watched them in a military scene, marching out.
After class, we drew lots to divide ourselves into two group for our finals. Excited!
