Not to break your dream (some people will be against me for
doing this) but sometime you will have to face the harsh reality of
truth and I have to say the time is now. You mentioned "it's never
too late to realise your dream" but likewise "it's never too late
to realise it is a dream".
You may ignore what I've said below since it will definitely be
not pleasing to your eyes and you may not accept it but I think
it's something you really should know and decide.
Firstly - To become a lawyer, you need to be excellent
proficiency in English since you will need to write contracts and
stuffs. I think you should have no problem with this since you
"boasted" about your command of Englishin your last post, right? So
I think you gotten an "A", or at least a "B" in English for your
N-level, yes? Personally, I think B is no good but well, if you
have gotten at least a "B" then there should be no problem brushing
up it up to "A".
Secondly - Unless you can get into JC which I doubt you can with
your current standard, there are almost no way you can do law
degree in Singapore University. If you failed your N level, there
no way your basic foundation of your current taken subjects (Math,
Science, etc) can be good.
N-level to O-level is no walk in the park. Been there, done
that. The gap is pretty big. It is said getting an 'A' in N-level
is equivalent to 'C' in O-level which I think is quite true.
Granted, there is 1 classmate I know who got himself into one of
the better JCs but that is after his continuous effort in getting
top in the class everytime round and his effort paid off. Can you
do that? Saying yes is easy but doing it is not.
Thirdly - Don't say I never give you benefit of doubt, even if
you do miraculously get into JC, whether is it by luck or seriously
study your ass off everyday, you still have another hurdle to
breakthrough which your GP paper (Very Important - You will need at
least a B to be eligible). Even if you do well in getting an "A"
for GP but screwed up all other subjects, you can forget about
it.
Lastly - Getting into poly will NOT get you to do law degree in
Singapore. You won't stand a chance against the A-level holders.
You will more likely stand a chance to do a degree (provided you
get a GPA of 3.4 and above) which is related to what you are
studying in poly.
Looks grim to you? It should. Currently, there are a few options
left, which I can think of, for you:
Frankly speaking, you don't earn much being a lawyer in
Singapore. However, it will be a different case if you are
well-known. If you are think being a lawyer in Singapore earns big
buck, forget it but if its your passion, then go on aim for it.
Right now, you should repeat sec 4 and just focus on getting
your foundations up and do well in N & O level. It's not too
late to decide what to do after that. ITE is definitely not the
route you should go for your dream.
