Looking at my friends after their O’s result somehow saddens me. You know, when results came out, it is going to be either suck or yay!
I put my mind into its greatest test when I was told to choose either repeat sec 4 and move on to 5 (2 more years wasted in total) or straight go to ITE. I told myself, why should I repeat sec 4 and waste my parents money once again?
My results isn’t that bad, I only exceed one point. And what if I couldn’t make through Poly if I manage to go to sec 5 and get a chance to get an O cert? Is not a waste of my parents money? You get an O cert... yes definitely, but WHAT IF you couldn’t managed to get through poly? Will your parents happy about it or be disappointed? I bet my parents are! I know I could not make it, if I could not make, why should I try, or at least try? Better don’t! Never ever risk it!
I decided to go to ITE and not waste 1 more year by repeating, and knowing that I am going to have a new campus life, or probably a new life with high expectation, dramas, bullshits, GIRLS and finally leaving my footprints behind my secondary life.
Going ITE with your O cert is like a total waste. Wasted (Unless you get to Republic Poly [ITE's very own Polytechnic!]). Yes, it is still education, but there is something else behind it. Fees. Unless you pay for your school fees, that is a different kind of story.
End of story.
To those who managed to get your dream course, be grateful. For who doesn’t, keep moving on.
