yesterday had a discussion with a primary school fren who is preparing for o levels. he is forced to take triple science in secondary school when he is actually very interested in humanities and china studies. Now he is aiming to join ngee ann poly even if he scores well enough to be able to enter a jc. He is aiming for their diploma course in chinese studies. After i looked at the course i suddenly feel the urge to pick it up too. In poly they can focus on their interests and areas that they are passionate about. The three year course offered in poly is really rich and it offers students one year of immersion program in china. http://www.np.edu.sg/hms/courses/CHS/Pages/chs_en.aspx
Whereas in JC we have to take contrasting subject -.- we are forced to take maths......haix i am jealous that in poly they don have to worry about their weak subjects they can focus on wad they wan. FOCUS! whereas for us? we have to worry for maths, worry for the contrasting subject....why must we make ourselves so 辛苦？？The thing i like most about poly is that more lifeskills are taught! For science students yes jc would be better but for arts and humanities students i feel that poly would be better...more experience and practical stuff there..
had a discussion with my mother and she wasn happy about my idea about joining poly....haix its all about money...wad diploma poly come out cannot earn as much as jc students..for me maybe cos i haven experienced life as a working adult, but 说心里话 being able to study wad i am interested and passionate about is wad i am more concerned about. Not that i think that money is not impt, but its not my priority! i don wan to do smth that i don like jus in order to gain high salary, or have a higher status....
haix lots of ppl regret taking up IP program now i finally understand their feelings....tio scam 的感觉...shall wait till all my eoy results are out. This is a really important decision to make!
