my civics tutor said, " once you're here, dont think of another path anymore. dont tell yourself that you should have gone into a poly or you should have chosen something else. just focus on what you have now and do well. do your best, do really well and continue with your life."
there're indeed a lot of times that i start to ponder what will happen if i had chosen a poly path.
when i face unhappiness and setbacks in jc,
i will start thinking if life will be as "bad" as now if i were in a poly.
and a lot of times, i will doubt myself for choosing this particular path.
i actually felt uneasy when i was going to buy the uniforms.
im afraid i'll regret, im afraid i'll say i want poly at the last minute.
i keep giving myself a false impression that i can turn back whenever i want.
i'll even feel uneasy just by looking at the word "nanyang junior college" that's printed on worksheets and notes.
because all these while, i had nearly confirmed that i'll be seeing "ngee ann polytechnic" instead.
but when i start settling down, start wearing the uniform everyday and familiarising myself with the faces in school, i had gradually realised that there's no turning back anymore..
that im going to spend my next 2 years here(provided that i dont get retained)
i dont know about other schools, but nanyang usually scare their students with harsh facts and reality 1st.
for instance, i have a nice principal but he'll retain you as long as he thinks you should be.
that means no allowance.
that's why ny have a longer list of retainees than some other jcs
that's good luh, rather than staying in your lalaland and getting retained in the end.
i must work hard.
work hard.
work hard.
(although im still in some of the holiday slacking mood even till now:S)
做人要往前看,但那不代表你得遗忘过去。
把过去当作教训,当作学习,再次出发。
切忌耿耿于怀..
saw this when i was researching for my gp
thought it's interesting
makes you think actually.
yes, we have to admit that we're weaker.
