After tutorials today, I didn't think I would had a heart to heart session with Jacqui about my problems. It started off with asking to check my answers for the questions I did on the mid-sem paper. She was explaining them to me and halfway, I broke down and told her everything. I can't believe how she offered to stay and help me later for 2 whole hours!
Not once did she make me feel like I am stupid and she kept trying her best to explain every concept to me. When I didn't get what she's saying, she would try again and again with the look of guilt on her face, thinking that its her fault for not explaining well enough. I feel so bad because nobody would go to this extent to help me but her. I had to hold back my tears on so many occasions.
Walking home at 9pm, it suddenly struck me that I had done a tarot cards reading weeks ago. One of the cards said that there would be a lady who will come and help me and that I should not decline her help. In this case, I asked her for help but she went the extra mile to make sure that I do get it before moving on.
The IJ values also came up in my mind. I remember all the values the school taught me. "Compassion, humility, integrity, perseverance and faith". None. None was in me at that point of time, especially perseverance. I googled the values and found out that the school had added more points. The one new thing that struck me was "Woman of Distinction".  It is defined as "An IJ Girl is a Thinker, Leader and Communicator who is confident with humility, principled with compassion and cultured with grace. These were values that brought me through my high school life. 
I need to reflect and act upon them again!
