Before the PA300 Championships, we were told to use this as an indicator of our standard against other schools.

Good job to those who made it through and came out with medals as something to show for your improvement and for your hard work. We are all very proud of you and rest assured everyone else will also put in their best effort to be in your places too. Melissa, Suzhen and Elvis, Soo and Denise, Hui Jun and Shu Jie. You made history today. You made history bringing back the first few medals and give yourself a pat on the back for coming this far. The dragonboat crews, Good job too. We have made significant improvements and even got out own medals to keep. So for this competition good job.

But do remember, what our girls captain said is right, we may not have seen the best over the past few days. Also factor in that there are many other colleges we have yet to see.

So the question to ask yourself now is, where do you think you stand?
If you think that you are far from the top, what are you going to do about it? How are you going to work to reach the top. Good things don't come easy. So press on and keep working hard, dont ever give up. What will you choose when you wake up each morning, to keep moving forward or simply give up? Remember, every one of your team mates goes through the same pressure and we'll do it together. Believe in each other, support each other. Be strong, never let anything put you down. Push yourself to the limits. Break the limits. Suprise people. Step up to the challenge.

For those who are reaching the stars, use your experience to help others. But do not grow complacent, for the journey has not ended yet. Keep going strong and we all believe that you will suprise us all over again come nationals.

So where do you stand? And where do you think you will finish in the end? It doesnt matter what people think of you, because you know what, you can always prove them wrong.

Achieve something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because it's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief.

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up.

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, who will you be? Will you be a winner? How much do you want this? Stepping up. It's a simple concept. It basically means to rise above yourself, to do a little more, to show you're something special.

TPJCANOEISTS, battle is over. But the war has just begun. Keep fighting.
Remember: Take care of yourselves, drink eat sleep well. Train and Study Hard.

And once again, good job, you have all done us very proud, you are history makers.
