Yeo Sze Ling, one of the few female names on the board outside the math department library. She was the top student in her cohort. Many many times, I hoped to be like her. Until today, on the very same day which I logged on to register my attendance for the coming commencement in July, I heard from a friend that she is blind.

I wonder, how does a visually handicapped person study maths. Not say, be the top student in maths. As I read through the article, I felt touched by the effort she put in and her strong determination. If I claim to have faced numerous setbacks to gain whatever positions and achievements I have, she must have encountered problems much worse. She struggled, but she made her way to the top. When people who are hundred times more fortunate than her complain bout life, she remains optimistic and thinks life has been good to her.

I always believe, there're hardships behind every success. But her story is like a fairy tale, and although I have never seen her, I felt proud to have her as a senior. :)
