Today, during assembly, the panel discussion talked about Steorotypes of HCI Students. On a Facebook Survey, it has been said that the general public thinks HCI students are nerdy, diligent and reserved. RI students are naturally smarter, also found out from the Facebook Survey.

Hwachong students are nerdy, diligent and reserved? The term 'Nerdy' means that we are also smart, and also have the virtue, "Diligence', to further improve our intelligence. In what way, is Raffles students naturally smarter than us? Their 'smartness' is in terms of their intelligence, I do not deny that. However, Hwachong students are holistically smarter. We work smart. This is shown through the constant hard work displayed and the ACE projects we summit. The ACE projects shows our hard work due to the fact that it requires the initiative of the students to do these projects. This is also a display of smart working as we can salvage all the marks lost in the test. We play smart. We can control when we get rowdy. We display the self-control needed during the tough schedule experienced. We plan smart. We are able to balance our studies with our EP3s. An elite sport has training 3-5 times a week. A normal sport has 2-4 times of traning. This shows the planning we have done as we also obtain the maximum potential of our results, scoring a distinction in most of our subjects.

Hard-working, like Boxer in Animal Farm? Well, we are not to that extend as we are not that hard-working, at least knowing when to relax. Our hardwork is what sets us apart from the rest, a slight tinge of diligence is better thann none. If you don't study, you will not do well. You reap what you sowed. If you try to focus on your studies too much, you will be so stressed out. If you relax to much, you will not remember what you have to do, being to engrossed by the game. A balanced curriculm for studying, with a blend of both work and play woukd be the most ideal. I can see that we can obtain good results through the hard work displayed.

Reserved, are all Hwachong students like that? Well, some are more quiet than others. However, most again exercise self-restraint, only speaking when necessary and when it calls for it. It is not fair to call us reserved. What at all happened to the OP-oriented students in classes? Though we may seem quiet to many of the general public, not as talkative as the students from neighbourhood schools, but we are all very attentive to the situation we are in before we attempt to speak. Byezzz~~
