CA1 Entry 2 ----------(My passion for Maths)

As I had announced in my previous post, I love Maths and would practise it whenever I could to sharpen my skills. I used to go for Maths Olympiad tuition at Patson's tuition centre in Bugis, every week.
However, my tuition teacher had called me last month to inform me that she had changed to another tuition centre which is located at Novena. This meant that I would have to travel from Changi to Novena every Sunday just for a 2 hour Maths tuition; well, I guess I had got no choice as Ms Loh is such a good teacher and I seriously need this tuition to develop my interest in Maths Olympiad. But god, who knows what terrible news await me. . . The tuition centre that Ms Loh is teaching in will not conduct lessons for Secondary 1 and 2 due to insufficient enrolments. I felt extremely disappointed. You might think that I am exaggerating, but the tuition really meant a lot to me. Without Ms Loh's coaching, I could not find a better way to develop my interest and skills. Ms Loh said that she would still email me worksheets every week and told me to contact her whenever I encounter problems in Maths. I really appreciated her kind assistance however I still needed a tuition.
For the past 2 weeks, Dad and Mum has been earnestly helping me to scout for a new tuition centre which could train me for the coming Maths Olympiad competition.
My prayers had finally been answered. I was informed to meet Mdm Esther Teo at the Maths lab. Straight after school today, I headed for the Maths lab and was elated to learn that the school would enrolling me and the other few students for a Maths Olympiad training. I am looking forward to the training and will seize every opportunity to learn as much as I could.
