A difficult decision

AHappyPerson SG

Hi teraexa,

I can fully understand the rational of your suggestions. Like I've said in one of my posts, CO is nothing less than a great enjoyable experience. That was before my parents asked me what I wanted to do. They don't want me to live a life without purposes. After contemplating for quite a while, I know this is my choice. Being a doctor.

But unfortunately, juggling would be difficult for me. How should I put it.... Let's just say it is more than a hobby or a liking. I was once a pathetic gamer, but the introduction to my new interest made me quit almost instantaneously. I should first clarify that I am currrently not in science club as I have spent a good half of my secondary 1 life playing maplestory (Really retarded I know), and would like to join next year through the selection test.

You mentioned the empty feeling after A levels, as a result of your lack of exposure. Pardon me for asking, so what if they've got good CCA experiences?

Consider this with an open mind: What does a grandeur musical performance in Sydney mean to a person who loves engineering or science? What does a chance to nab thieves as a policeman (NPCC) mean to a person who wants to save lives?

This is not a rhetorical question: Is there any other reason why you envy friends who have enjoyed different experiences in life besides the fact that they have got better chances at university/more friends than you? Or simply for the fact that their lives are more "colourful"?

I did not neglect CO in exchange for better academic performance. I don't really care about them. I neglected CO for my passion in the Sciences.

Thanks for offering a different viewpoint anyway :)

Unfortunately, a core CCA cannot be dropped :( The only way I can avoid it is to play turant, which in itself is morally unacceptable to me. Hence, I would continue to maintain attendence while dedicating my heart and soul to becoming an outstanding doctor.

Once again, thankyou for your support.

Well from the rest of your posts as well as this post, you have actually already made up your mind.

You have decided to:

1) Maintain attendance in CO

2) Enjoy your time in Science Club

3) Work hard for your studies

In that case, then do just that. It is going to be a torture, but since this is your decision, then stick to it to the end. However, since you want to just maintain attendance in CO, then make sure you don't stick your neck out for others to chop when there are extra sai-kang to do.
