Hello, I am relatively new to this forum and decided to join
since there seem to be some rather good advice for many topics
here. This year, I am about to be streamed into my courses, and I
am really unsure about what is going on and what is going to
happen. I have only been told that the requirements to a JC is an
L1 R5. Does this necessarily include Mother Tongue? If yes, then
going to a JC would be an impossibility for me, since I am expemted
from it. (Someone once told me that without a MT, I'm screwed for
life in Singapore.)
Unlike many other people who have posted here, my strength lies
not in Math and Science, but in Humanities and the English
Language. My first love is the Arts, and things like writing,
debating and acting. Well, especially writing. My mother advises me
not to specialise in subjects like the arts and English. I used to
think it was rather silly of her to think like that, but now that I
think of it, what can you do, specialising in the Arts and
Humanities anyway? The most desired course and jobs are things like
triple science and what not.
I do have the ability to join the science stream, but I am not
as interested in it. (Though I really do wish to study psychology
next time.)
So...What is there to do?
