If You Really Knew Me


I was caught in the rain while walking back home from the MRT station.
Right after shower, i watched an episode of 'If You Really Knew Me' on MTV.
It is such a sad and motivational reality television series
that focuses on youth subculture
and different cliques in high schools.

Students from each clique participate in Challenge Day which is
a program designed to breakdown stereotypes and unite students in schools.
At Challenge Day, students from all walks of life gather together in one room.

Then each student is assigned to a group where
they must reveal something personal about themselves.
It's at this point where each student begins their dialog with the words
"If you really knew me.."

'If You Really Knew Me' made me tear up
and at that point of time,i just wish that this 'Challenge Day' programme would
happen in my school so that everyone can be open and speak up about their lives,
their fears, doubts, problems, something personal about them and something about them that they have been wanting to let out of their chest. They may never know
the number of people out there who might be facing the same situation as them.
