What makes you think your parents are wary about your future
decisions? Can you tell me what are their views now? From what I
read above,I can't tell what your parents are actually deciding.
They seem to be over-drive mode since you didn't fare well.
You seem to doubt your own abilities in performing well for the
O levels,when you are talking about planning to retake as private
candidate.
You should have work harder. It's not too late.
You reminded me of my psle. I scored 196/300. I had tuition,but
I fared quite badly. I can't imagine my results slip,but all of
that was a result of computer gaming! In 1 year,I kicked the habit
of using computer gaming during school days from 5hrs to 1hr.
My results started to improve gradually and I managed to get to
Jc,because I had a wake-up call from my results slip.
For my case,my parents are not overly tense. They believe that
it is up to the individual to discover their own strengths and
weaknesses. They also felt that they should give me similar
independence,despite my failures in Psle. I guess it was their
constant motivation that got me far. On the plus side,my friends in
class were enthusiastic about studying.We stayed back to discuss
questions after school. For our school,when it's time to get
serious,we are really serious.
So I fell down,I picked myself up. Are you going to do the same
today? My teachers never had the expectation of me entering Jc at
day 1 of secondary school.However,I proved them wrong and
perservered to enter Jc.
"You should have worked harder" yeah that's kind of the general
consensus man
Idk for starters I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life
up until I went to NYP's Open House, where I discovered that
Business I.T might not be so bad, maybe ideal, since I'm interested
in business and I.T (I make tumblr themes lol) so when I took O
Levels last year, I was really kind of heck care. I thought I'll
just do okay and still have some choices. But when it came down to
it, I only had two lines of courses to choose from. I suppose my
weird subject combination also was a contributing factor to my
failure, as my dad has repeatedly berated me about it lmao. I guess
I regret not taking triple science but its too late for regrets
like this LOL plus Art took too much of my time. That is definitely
one of my regrets
I never took psle and therefore had no idea what to expect for O
Levels. I was terrified of taking it. I guess I shut down? Honestly
I probably only studied a month and a half before O's
>_____________> yea...h
I wouldn't mind retaking to be honest, if I could afford the
private tutors and shit but I'm not rich
And uhhhhh about my parents' views about it right now... Can't
say, they've been ignoring me lmao. They don't believe in that
second chance shit. Do it once, do it well, but unfortunately I
haven't done it once and done it well since like p5. It's not like
I'm stupid; idk the pressure I put on myself made me shut down
too
Thanks for answering though :)
