Concord Primary School
2009-2014, T-Score: 232
I remember at that time when I was enrolling into primary school, my
parents brought me to the different schools to check out their facilities before settling on
De La Salle Primary School which was near where I stayed and only too around 10 minutes to
get there. However unfortunately I didn't get in and we opted for Concord Primary School
instead.
Life in primary school was fairly smooth sailing, with me making friends and
being lucky enough to not get bullied. I joined Red Cross in Primary 3 after I got roped in
seeing all the badges they had sewed on their uniform, thinking that it was cool. I remember
back then, I would always slack off a lot and not study as I should have been doing and that
resulted in me getting horrible grades, especially for Chinese and Science. However, after
getting told off and encouraged by my parents and teachers, I studied harder and achieved a
T-Score of 232. Although it wasn't the result I was looking for, it was pretty good for
someone like me who only studied nearing the PSLE.
Unity Secondary School
2015-2018, ELR2B2: 14 (-2)
Another case of me not getting into the school I wanted. At first, I wanted
to go to Kranji Secondary School as it was situated just right beside my block and would
only take me 5 minutes to reach which meant that I could sleep more. However, back then the
school's cut off point was around 237 which I was sadly 5 points off and couldn't get in
which led to me settling for Unity Secondary School which was in Yew Tee and takes me 20
minutes to reach.
Life in secondary school was pretty much the same as in primary
school with me slacking and getting horrible grades until important things came up like
getting promoted to the following year which needed a minimum requirement of a certain
number of passes. After Secondary 2 ended, we had to make a choice on what stream we wanted
to take in Secondary 3. I decided to take the Pure Humanities stream which included subjects
like Pure Geography and Combined Humanities (History, Social Studies). We also had a choice
in which 2 Combined Science subjects we wanted to take in which I opted for combined Biology
and Chemistry.
Singapore Polytechnic
2019-2021
I'm currently studying in the School of Computing (SoC) for the course, Diploma in Information Tech (DIT). Why did I choose this course you might ask? Well, I'm not too sure either, but at that time it seemed interesting so I just chose it even though I had no background and knowledge of programming before.
