What you do in the coming two months is going to determine how you perform in the next 8 months- Mr Dennis Yeo
It set me thinking, am i cut out for A'levels? is JC curriculum my cup of tea? Am i willingly to dedicate the next 1 year of my life to books? Will i eventually get into the faculty that i desire? What if my grades are not up to mark? What will my life become?
It haunts me. Sometimes, how i wish I wasn't a neighbourhood school, it will be great if i was in RI then to RJC or Maris Stella to VJC or even RV to HCI. gosh. Unfortunately, Juying Secondary was where i came from, and i am in PJC now. I'm not saying that PJC is BAD, the point here is that because of my lousy secondary school, i did not have enough exposure and it is undeniable that the people that i mixed with in Juying, or simply the JYians are like....of course, this excludes 4e1 lah. It is the kind of environment that i were in. pure bad luck.

I envy the students in the top 5 jcs because they will eventually become the future leaders of Singapore and of course, i'm speaking about the majority. Imagine in 10,20 years time, they will be driving big cars,big houses, big dogs..everything also big, and the chances of me owning what they will be having is low. very low. I'm not just talking about A lvl grades, it is about the networking skills they have, the topics that they talk about, the way they carry themselves, their ability to focus, the strong sense of determination and will power, the aura that they possess. These are things lacking in neighbourhood JCs. In 10 months time, i will be competing with these people. How ready will i be by then? i really don't know. I dun even dare to think.
Maybe i'm just stereotyping this entire issue. But i cannot shake off this idea ever since i met some of them a few weeks ago. i feel inferior. damn. They are like giants. and im like? a small prawn from PJC? gosh!
Ms Lee left us ytd. It was an emotional morning as tears rolled down our cheeks. As said, those things that we have done,cards,songs...cannot measure the amount of gratitude we have for her.
We love you for who you are, Ms Jane Lee, our GP tutor. <3
