hi everyone, im 23 years old. i was a school dropout back
when i was in secondary school, I was in the academic stream , i
droppedout of school at 15 out of the N/A stream, parents signed me
to take private O at a private school, studied for awhile and took
up 5 o level subjects, but when exams were around the corner i
cabot. Appealed to Moe to take be back in secondary school, sps
took me back in, and i chose NT stream. I end up holding 3 N level
papers.
I cannot furthur express how foolish i was, i had
opportunites and throw it away + parents support, no right person
in the head would do that or throw away an opportunity like that,
plus i dont come from a rich family, more or less average.i was a
major rebel at the time, but believe me up to this day i regret
because i was a dilinquent child at the time, and i learned life
the hard way, time flies and everyone else is advancing, i got a
lot to catch up on, i want a normal life a good one if possible not
just a roof under my head kind, i will not give up now, because i
want education to be able to live normally, feed myself properly
and be able to show my parents i made it when they are still
around.
everything my parents thought me was right and whatever they
said was right, i always had problems listening to authority and
following the rules back then, it just seems that everything i do
can be related to disaster here, just having fun in life, partly i
feel also because of the restrictions in singapore at the time and
the laws they have for every single thing, and about anything can
get you jailed.
I enjoyed my youth to the fullest believe me not many
singaporeans did so early. i learn a lot of things in life outside
of school, to me these are the most valuable lessons. The PROBLEM
IS life needs creditions, it needs certifications, qualifications
for every single thing, even if its just to open doors for people,
or even labour work, or even signing on in the army, civil defence
as a fire officer or anything.
My dilemma now is which is better to study back all over again
for my O Levels in a private school or take up a full time course
culinary course at SunRice GlobalChef. I have another option, this
one lies within my passion, its either i can take part time diploma
course in Sports Management or Sports and Science, and study myself
at home for 0 levels, killing 2 birds with one stone, as private
diploma classes for that field is only held in the weeknds...to cut
some time for me to work my way up faster, as of age is 1 thing i
know 23 is not too old, but seriously just taking o levels back
again now? its been about 4 years that i have not been in school. i
want to know what is better, and if if a private diploma cert is
any good and worth it? or should i just take 0 levels
first?
Whatever comments you have please kindly share i am willing to
learn, any piece of advice will be nice. thank you!!
