Where to?
so, the results for 'O's came out last Friday, some did well, some did not.. but that's all over.. the important thing is to make a decision regarding what comes next.. and it is indeed an important decision for some choosing between JC and poly..
many kids have come up to me asking whether they should stay in JC or go to a poly because they feel that they can't do well for GP.. others have come up with questions like.. "Is TP better than MJ/YJ/NY/SR..?" or questions like.. "I heard you're from CJ.. is it really very slack there?" and so on.. quite frankly, I don't have an answer to all those questions at all.. I mean, who am I to judge whether this JC is better than that JC? if I were to say that another JC is better, am I implying that I'm a lousy teacher then? and why would I want to do that? and would it then be fair for me to tell them to stay in TP just so that I have better students?
so, it's really hard I guess.. and really, what can one say? so I tell them, no matter where you end up, as long as you believe in yourself and your ability, and you have self-discipline, I'm sure you'll do it.. eventually, the two years in JC are just stepping stones to a university education, and as long as you get to Uni in the end, JC education has served it's purpose.. no? of course, doing well opens up more choices to you, and therefore, it is important to achieve good results too, but there are no gurantees that being in a top 5 JC will gurantee As in all subjects..
it's a tough decision I guess, thinking of one's own future, while parents are "encouraging" them to go to another JC instead of this one, friends who are going elsewhere or staying.. but the choices have to be made, and lived with.. so well, decide well, and make the most of whatever the outcome.. all the best and have a happy valentine's day! =)
