First post of "DGS Weekend".
Besides the pressure of studies, DGS girls face another massive responsibility: Uphold the school's honour and be the legacy.
We need to uphold the school's honour because our school is one of the most famous schools in Hong Kong, we are expected to be like our older sisters, to follow in the footsteps of our old girls. We are expected to be either geniuses, world-class athletes or professional musicians. The public thinks we are naturally destined to become powerful, famous and the female heroes of the modern world. We are supposed to be the best of the best.
It's not just achievements. When your in the dress, you are the perfect lady. You have perfect manners and you know how to look awesome yet classy. Yes, in DGS, you are trained to be perfect. When you're in your tracksuit, you are expected to be the professional athlete.
Let me tell you, that is NOT easy. Trust me. Everyone, watching you with such high expectations. You won't feel good, you won't feel any better when you can't meet their expectations and when you don't, people won't like it and feel disappointed. Disappointed at you. Disappointed at the school. Simply saying, when you are representing the school, wearing the uniform, you need to be excellent or no one will bother paying you any attention. They won't care. And you won't like it. I hate it when I'm expected to do things like that but we have no choice. You either give 100% or you don't bother.
I am a SI. That means I'm the new generation of the legacy. The legacy is basically DGS girls being powerful, famous and female heroes of the modern world. There are girls all over the world who are authors, scientists... We are expected to follow in the same way.
See, life is hard. This is what a big part of life in DGS is like. :) Hope you liked this post. There's more to come! :D
