Hey there.
I am studying in a local junior college now. I couldn't decide
on what to join during my orientation period and ended
up considering choir and volleyball as these were the
CCAs i took when i was in secondary school. Choir was my final
decision since volleyball is a niche in my school and the trainings
are pretty tough and hectic, let alone the fact that there were 10
DSAs and it was hard to get into the school team. With the
intention of focusing more on studies and less on CCA in jc, i
wanted a slack CCA. However, choir is becoming a really hectic CCA
because of the SYF next year. As such, i find it difficult to find
time to study and work on my weak subjects. JC is all about
academics isn't it? So what's the point of getting a good CCA
record and end up failing my A levels?
Coming to the main point, I've decided to quit. Is it a wise
decision? I am also in the Class Leaders Committee and it is
considered as a student interest group. This means that I will have
something to write in my School Graduation Cert (SGC).
I am not aiming to go for scholarships whatsoever. So by just
focusing on academics and ensuring that i will ace my A levels, is
it enough to secure me a place in the university? Are CCAs
compulsory in JC? I hope MOE doesn't bar me from university just
because i chose to quit my CCA at the end of JC1 so that i am
allowed more time to improve on my studies.
Thank you all for your replies/opinions! I have to decide
whether to quit by this week :D
From what you have written, I think you have already made the
decision.
You are feeling stress on your CCA on top of your
academic. Quit your CCA after year 1 if you feel stress.
But usually CCA will automatically stop during examination
period, and for year 2, sem 2 usually is a "quiet" period.
Obviously every1 else also need to prepare for their exam. So how
come every1 else is alright but u r so stress?
