There's alot of things in life that one has to go through. Some of them are successes and some are failures. When people attained success, it brings them happiness and encouragement to go futher, beyond what it takes them. But when people attained failures, it brings down their hope and faith that they can go on and can do better next time. They often forget that failure is the stepping stone to success.
For me, i couldn`t make it to polytechnic after O`levels in the year 2000. i had been offered a place in ITE and only one choice at Singapore Poly, doing Maritime Transportation. But when the result are out, i got in at ITE. People have many perception about ITE student, being a bad example, and they are in bad companies. But, what they they say and think about is all wrong. Not all people are bad, it really have to depend on oneself. If you stick to your principles, nothing can go wrong, if you choose to join the bad companies, the choice is yours. I have been in the instituion for 2 years, the experience i gained from there is really useful. People thought that ITE Students cannot study, dropped-out students, playful but in-fact no, they are the one that excel far. They even go to poly and some even futher their studies after their 2 year at ITE, that shows they can make it. But they take longer routes, same goes with me. It is a worthwhile ride.
I have learnt alot in my participation in the various activities of my life journey. Some of the lesson learnt is that, `without parents blessing, you cannot get anywhere`. Therefore, it is important to get their blessing in whatever we do, be it in job seeking, studies, relationship, then only we can attain success. Another thing i have learnt, in my life journey, that is `there is always a blessing in disguise`. I had to retake my emaths 3 again during my 2.2 semester. I was losing hope and faith as i was very weak in maths and at the same time i also learnt another lesson that is, ` learnt to be independent and never to depend on people`, my matespromised to teach me maths but they didn`t. i was kinda irritated and pissed off as they only say but there was no action at all. So i promised myself that no matter what happen, i will strive hard myself and prove them wrong. Even without their help, i still can pass through the module. By god`s grace, i have made it through. I passed the module with B+. A great achievement and success for me. I would thank Mr Vick for his good teaching, because of his teachings, i had made it through and course not forgetting my own effort.
I am a very friendly and outgoing person, a person who always known to help people even though i can`t, i still try my level best. Another thing is that all my friends say that i am smiley person, everywhere i go, i will put on a big smile. That is my trademark. Many people will walk in and out of our life but only a few will stay. But for this i should less than a few would go and help you when you are in need and it is really hard to find a true friend. Overall, i should say, it is indeed a good one as i am able to meet and know people of different character working style. They really boost up my confident in whatever i am doing.
I have developed values like respect, integrity, compassion, cooperation, perseverance, initiative, loyalty and independent learning such as problem based learning during my 3 years duration in Temasek Poly. These values would prove handy and useful in years to come.
My life journey have helped me in numerous way, such as meet new acquantainces, developed new skills that would be useful in future endaevours. I have attained successes as well as failures and it really help me to overcome fears and obstacles along the way. I still remember, during my SIP in 3.1, i was attached to Agilent Technologies with my team-mate Ivan. We are the only 2 students from poly and the rest are from University undergoing Industrial attachement. We had to help each other from time to time and learnt that teamwork, is one of the important factor. Havingthechance to work in the industry, it really helps me to know how is it like to work in a `working` world where it is far more different from school environment. It helps to build up our communication factor, adjusting to the environment and learnt to be independent. It is really a memorable experience that i would remember and taking it as a stepping stone to working world as well as attaining success.
`You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lives are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.` - Henry Drummond.
`There is nothing spectacular about people who give. They are ordinary people who care enough to get extraordinary things done.` - Anonymous.
Life has been good. Life is worth more than what I used to see. Although there is some apprehension on the life outside of the safe environment of the school, I believed that with what I have experienced, it will carry me through to my next phase of life.
