I have received numerous PMs asking me to share my education journey ever since i published a post here.
Comment down some questions should you have any
PS My english isnt the best and im definitely the worse in typing long sentences so bare with me
Before u read, just know that I was never proud of my actions
Received my PSLE results back in 2009. Scored 153 for my PSLE. My parents and grandparents were so upset with me that they started whooping my ass and told me that I was just a failure with no hope for the future. It gotten so bad that my parents wld avoid bringing me to visit relatives as to avoid the conversation regarding my education. A part of me just gave up on my studies when they said that.
Entered normal Technical stream in 2010. Didnt had any motivation to study, hanged out with the “cool” kids and picked up the habit of smoking, being defiant and also coming home late. Was suspended and caned multiple times for turning up late for school, fighting, truancy etc. I would often score the lowest for every subjects. This shit literally when on for the next 3 years until sec 4, when I joined a “gang” to earn some good easy money as my parents wldnt give me allowance. Im talking bout scamming people, stealing and beating ppl up when assigned by my “senior” gang member. Blah Blah and then boom, its finally N Levels which I didnt even take it seriously. As expected, I scored prety bad. Secondary School also made me realise that I have extremely deep hatred towards my parents.
2014 was the year I entered ITE. Pursuing a science course after numerous appeals. Within the first week of school, I had the school counsellors attending to me for a session as they knew about my family issues and background history. Started to reflect on my actions for the first time in 17 years and realised, i was never happy, my parents were never proud of me and I made peoples life difficult. That was when Ive decided I needed to change. Received love I never had from my lecturers and counsellors in ITE. I failed? they told me good job I did my best. Those words were so touching and meaningful tbh as they recognised my efforts. My immediate actions, find a part time job to support myself and started studying every week. Juggling work and school was never easy but I still managed to score a GPA of 3.8+ for both my nitec and higher nitec. Told my parents about my GPA and they said “ This is only ITE, U are the smartest among the dumbest. U think its a good achievement?” yes i still rmb this sentence till today.
2018 was the year that I entered poly. Diploma in Biomed to be frank(Not gunna reveal the poly). Wasnt ur typical student in that course as 90% of them were single digit scorers for O levels but I did not compare myself to them as I believed that comparing will only make me be filled with hatred. Once again, didnt give no fucks about anything and just focused on my studies and part time job. My classmates was a bunch of idiots, very very competitive ,thinking that theyre better than everyone else and being an ITE graduate, I noticed that theyre avoiding me due to the fear of me being a bad influence but who cares as i was just focusing on myself. After 3 years of juggling work and school, graduated with a near perfect gpa of 3.91 at the age of 24.
Totally cut off my parents from my life as I realised that i am better off without them. Miss them so much but sorry mum and dad im happier being alone. I just wished u understand how much words can hurt, a small sense of proudness of my achievements can motivate me and i dont know why ure so embarrassed for me???
As of today(2022), Im serving my NS as a paramedic Received offers for NUS Pharmacy & NTU Biological Science hoping to pursue my dream of working in the healthcare sector.
