I attended Christian schools since young thus I was exposed to the gospel and Christian teachings. However, I never think too deeply about religion and felt that Christianity wasn't a religion for me. As I entered Secondary School, my life revolved around my studies and getting good grades. I felt that my significance was in excelling in my studies. Other things seemed unimportant and being in a Christian school, I felt irritated by teachers and friends who kept sharing Christi with me as well as the non-Christians around me. However, in the course of striving and pursuing to excel in my studies, I realized how temporal and meaningless it was.

It was also during my secondary school days that I became good friends with a few Christians. They tried hard to share the gospel with me but I always made very skeptical remarks to them. But I realized that they never gave up but continued to be persistent and patience with me. Eventually, one of my friends managed to persuade me to go for an Evangelistic Christian party organised by her cell group. The cell leader spoke to me personally after the party and asked me to give Jesus a chance to come into my life. At that time, I wasn't sure if that was what I wanted but I went ahead to pray the sinner's prayer. I was sec 3 then.

As I started to attend cell group and Church after that, I slowly began to learn and know more about God. Especially after entering NUS and being involved in campus crusade for Christ, I realised how much my friends strive to do well in their studies and to earn more money. To them, life is all about doing well, earning lots of money and being recognized for their achievements. But I thank God that I entered NUS as a Christian and I thank God for changing my perspective of life. That it is not about striving for things that are temporal but for things that have eternal value. And it is also at this point of time that I realized that there are only 2 things in life that has eternal value: God's Word and souls of man. Slowly, I learnt to surrender to God the things that I know that I shouldn't put my whole life into striving after things that are meaningless in the end.
