Going on to Secondary School, i began to make real friends and stepped a little outside my comfort zone. I learned many things that shaped me to become who i am today. I have also made memories- good and bad- that i will probably not forget, those significant ones of course. Secondary School was also where i had my first love, 'the one that got away'. Had my heart broken, fixed again and broken two more times. It's a period of time where you find out who you are. Then at the last few months there, you have to determine the next big step. Which institution are you going to further your studies? In Singapore, from Sec School, you have a few choices.
- Junior College 2 years
- Centralised Institutes or in our case where Singapore has only one: Millennia Institute 3 years
- Polytechnic (There are only 5: Singaapore Poly, Ngee Ann Poly, Temasek Poly, Nanyang Poly and Republic Poly) There are things you need to do research on for which Poly you wanna go depending on your course of interest. For example, if you want to take Business, Ngee Ann would be your choice. For Engineering, Singapore Poly. For multimedia, Nanyang. For sports, Republic. (But all this is what people SAY, you might want to find out a little more before making such a decision) 3 years
- Institute of Technical Education AKA ITE 2 or 3 years
I chose Polytechnic, thinking that life would not be as difficult in JC and since my Chinese Mandarin sucks, I couldn't possibly go JC and endure some more of that shit. Ergo, i went to Poly.
Things for 2011 was bad. I had to adapt to so many changes, this post will brief you in on a bit of that. But things are actually looking up for 2012 and i hope that by the end of my Polytechnic Life while i move on to Uni, i will be a much better-both academically and socially-person.
