The IOC President has praised Singapore's hosting of the YOG games. I feel that this act is a sign of acknowledgement that Singapore, a small fishing village, has grown to be a bustling metropolis and has proven itself of hosting and making a large-scale event, like the YOG, a success.

All of you must be thinking : "How has the YOG have anything to do with Language Arts?"
Well, for once, I feel that the success of Singapore can be indirectly tied to Hwa Chong's school values of J-TIGERR.

J - Joy
T - Teamwork
I - Integrity
G - Global Perspective (Especially this value)
E - Excellence
R - Resilience
R - Respect

And I also believe that school lessons play a certain role in inculcating these important values in us, future pillars of success.
