Before I continue with this post, I just want to say that whatever is written is solely based on my own personal opinion. And whatever in this post is not to offend anyone at any time.


X-factor.
What does it mean to you?
Is it a ticket for you to get free and easy CCA points?
Is it just a burden to you?

Haha , to be honest I find X-factor to be something truly close to me....
But lately i get really annoyed by the problems we face.

I mean OMG?
Why do we have to make a big deal out of Everything?
Why cant we just solve the problem and not argue about it ..

So in this post ill try to solve the problems out MYSELF...
I hope you will atleast consider these solutions....


DISCIPLINE
Haha ,I will start with something we most dread.
Discipline, why cant our batch just keep to these basic standards?
The reason : Because we dont want to!
Personally, i dont get it why we must keep to such standards.
It does not affect our studies ( obviously) , Or does it make us look rebelious ( Come on , more than half of the people in singapore dont keep these standards)...

But hard as we fought, we could not change the discipline teachers mind about this matter..

So my solution/s :
1. Instead of making up outrages demands about the standards to our batch, we should make a meeting about it. Discuss with everyone what the standard should be like.Get a standard where everyone agrees on.

2.If you really cant stand the standard, take action.Write proposals. Prove to the teachers why the standards are not really needed in this era. (Other schools have accepted these kind of proposal, we cant our school?)

ATTITUDE
These problem is a killer.
Seriously.

Lets look back at the past , when we were all newly elected student councillors, look back about a year and a half ago. What was our attitude towards councill? Ill tell you , we were enthuestic.

Its true, all of us did not look bad about council. instead we enjoyed being in it.What caused the change of mind?

1. The stress of possibility of council affecting our studies.
2. Influence of friends, stating negative things about us.
3. Rebelious attitude , in terms of disliking the rules set up for us.
4. Reluctance upon performing responsibilities.
5. Disliking people who have bad attitudes ( e.g 1. , 2. , 3. , 4.)

All in all , because of this attitude , some have created a possible solution. QUITTING.
And quoted from our beloved sec 1 co ord , yong kang, " It is a permanant solution to a temporary problem!"

What does it mean?
Basically it means that it just an easy way out of a small problem. And along the way , you will somewhat feel a sense of regret.

So my solution/s:
1. TRASH OUT! And this time , make sure everybody is there . This purpose is to simply try and understand people with this bad attitude towards council. And from there we come out with a solution. ( If we come out with a solution without confronting the person, not only will it be unfair
but it might not be the best solution and conflicts may occur)

2. Just give them another chance. Tell them politely that they had done something VERY wrong. and thus give them another chance. Slowly trust will foster among us and then , finally we will reach a common goal.

CLIQUES

Small groups within ourselves.
Not a problem?
WRONG!

Personally, i also have cliques here and there .

So whats wrong with having cliques?
IT WILL SLOWLY KILL OUR UNITY!

And thats a fact.
If you see the x-factor today , i can confidently say : WE ARE NOT UNITED !

Why?

Facts why we are not united:
1. Consiously among us , we want to kick people out. Why? because we label them as bad councillors , or even worse not one of us. Did we ever stop and think of a solution before wanting to kick them? Even if we did , did we continue with that solution? NO! we just gave up on them and wanted them to be kicked out.
2. Cliques have been formed whereby it can be seen that we are seperated. If you dont belief me try imagining after the meetings and after all the council stuff. Cant you see the boundaries among us? The boundary between the express and normal students .( it has been improved), the boundary among the different classes,the boundary among the different cliques.

So my solution/s:
1. Basically try to understand one another, get in touch with eveyone. Remove personal grudges.Forgive past mistakes. And accept apologise. If all of these are carried out, i can guarantee you, noone will ever dare say we are sepperated.
