Prefect or Friend ?

It has been 2 months when the juniors take over the prefects' responsibility from their senior. It will be not long when the juniors become seniors when the lower 6 students enter our school.

As a prefects, there are times when we face difficulties;One of the problems is we do not know what should we do when we encounter diciplinary cases that involved our friends. Are we suppose to let him slip away , or bring him to face diciplinary action and let justice be done upon him?

We know that if we let him slip away, he might repeat what he had done. If we caught him, our relationship will be damaged. So, we have to choose , between friend and prefect.

Here , I am not telling you what you should do, but to help you to discover, there are ways to solve problems. Even the world's most complex problem has it own solution.

Let me start with a story:
One day, you and your wife and your mom are jogging along the river. Besides 3 of you ,there is no one else. Suddenly, your wife and your mom fell into the river. Both of them do not know how to swim. You can save only one person. Who will you choose, your wife or your mother?

The best answer I could find is : I will save my mom, then I jump into river and die with my wife.( p/s if you have better answer that this, plz tell me)

So, my advice will be: Depend on the situations, and act according to your heart.

I will talk more about it during the next prefects meeting in May.

So, what will you do? My friends.
