Many students would probably relate themselves to the Clock Tower or perhaps, the bronze statue of Tan Kah Kee, the founder of my school. Although I would agree with the general preferences of most students, I would choose the bronze horse at the foot of the Clock Tower to represent my identity. Why? To me, the moment I step into the vicinity of the bronze horse, I can sense an overwhelming pride emerging in me, for it is a unique feature of our school. From my knowledge, this bronze horse was an initiative by an alumnus of the school who drafted the plans for this horse on Hwa Chong’s 80th anniversary. One could say that it signifies how the school has emerged through turbulent eras and emerged as a world-class institution. This horse, reminds me of the struggle the school has emerged from victoriously, and everybody should strive emulate the success of the school. How does it link to my identity then? The bronze horse is equivalent to the determination of the leaders who have guided the school through various struggles. The school’s progress is part of my identity because as a Hwa Chong student, everybody has a responsibility in bringing glory to the school, whether is it in academic or physical aspects and to accomplish these tasks requires strength and determination to succeed, just like how the school has. At the end of the day, the success of the school lies within its students, whether they will lead the school towards glory or in the opposite direction. Therefore, I would say that the bronze statue represents my identity as a Hwa Chong student as it serves to remind everyone of the need to strive for the best.

My identity in relation to my favourite part of my campus
