best support i ever had..
-
ITE = Isn't The End =)
cheer up. landing in ITE doesn't mean u can't earn big bucks next time, if u start working hard now, u may even end up in universities.
when im in my batch of O levels (2004), only 8-9 out of 39 in my class make it through to polytechnic even though im in a express class. till now ive seen my ex-classmates doing quite well in ITE. cutting yourself won't do any good, might as well think for a backup plan before that rite? -
i jus gonna scold u to wake up.Originally posted by WoBuPaNi:i just got back my o lvls result and it was very disappointing.. i tried cutting myself in the toilet a few times already as the only place i could land myself in is ITE (imagine im from the express stream and im gonna go ITE what will others think? )so I intended to enroll to shatec which my passion is cooking..
the sch fees are high and i thought about it for quite sometime but my family and frens keep urging me to pursue my passion for cooking even though the fees are high and my family could just make ends meet yet my dad still wanted me to study in there.. the fees is like 6k per year.. im gonna take 2 jobs to pay for my fees so as to lessen my dad's burden ...
what i am disappointed in is myself, yet my family and frens supported me from the back while im down i really appreciate their support but i just cant forgive myself for getting a lousy COP for O lvls.. im gonna do my best for the next lap as ive just fallen down and tried to pick myself up from this failure im facing right now but its agonising as new year is round the corner , frens and relatives are gonna ask about my results and compare.. and i feel very sorry for my parents as they are gonna be embaressed
so agonising.
sorry about the rant but i just had to say things out to make me feel better else im back cutting myself... just needed a listening ear
what should i do.. wished i could turn the clock.
first of all..
fuk u! your mindset sux for sure. express to ITE and u gonna suicide? be a man u muthafuker.
only ppl like u despise ITE students, many lecturers teaching in ITE and frm ITE also and i respected them the most.
if u despise ITE, u are wrong!
16 years old liao stil cannot think. -
Follow your passion. It's more respectable than selling yourself out to the paper chase.
-
Shatec is promising, but do consider carefully. The workload is not easy, and the attachments are very, very tiring.
-
Express go ITE nia.. very shameful meh?
me also like that mah..
me chose ITE over Pre U somemore.
so wat happened to me?
Got 2 yrs scholarships and top 5%, provisional entry to Ngee Ann Poly.. before graduating already got job offer.. started work shortly after i completed my studies.
if u give up, then u will really let them down.
have more confidence in urself.. knowing the sch fees are expensive, the more u should really work hard. -
stupid society nowadays, pressure young kids so much that they have suicidal thoughts based on results.. and yet, it seems that as time goes on, it'll only get worse.
-
Even your parents are giving you their support which means that they do not look down on you.. at least you yourself know that you're disappointed in your results which proves that you've realised and would therefore work harder wouldn't you? Follow your dreams, its good that you have people who support your decision.
-
hey dude, cheer up la.
no need to commit suicide one.
just one paper cant cost u your life as u got many monkey years to move on.
i think ITE is getting better. more hands on & on job training, lagi better.
go shatec then... 6k per yr?? can earn back double if u make it to the top chef.
cheer up, k!! -
Failure is kind of scary.
At least you have the support. -
Cutting yourself is not a good solution , it leaves scars....
It is ugly. U wan ugly scar mah???? then next time u see scar, u remember ur failure.
Damn ugly... Scar scare pple too... -
I sympathsize with your suituation but please dont ever try to cut your self ever again!Originally posted by WoBuPaNi:i just got back my o lvls result and it was very disappointing.. i tried cutting myself in the toilet a few times already as the only place i could land myself in is ITE (imagine im from the express stream and im gonna go ITE what will others think? )so I intended to enroll to shatec which my passion is cooking..

Times maybe difficult for you at the moment as it may have been for many others as well as we struggle through life dealing with finances or debt and least of all peer presure.
On the part of having a poor COP for your O levels, dont think too much about it. As much as our society make our youth feel that their acedamic results will dictate their futures when they are barely 16 years old, Life in truth is what you make of it. Not all educated and rich individuals are Happy with their life nor are very everyone else living in misery from the lack of it.
Look for your answers within yourself logically and calculate your options and plan ahead from now on, that is the best option. I will try to help with the little information i have.
Your Assets:
1) Your passion to cook. Not everyone know what they want to do in life but yet you have found your passion, that has infact placed you ahead of your peers.
2) Support from your family. Despite everything, your father is supportive and wants you to fulfil your dreams. Family support is one of the most important factors that can help someone suceed in life.
Your Challenge:
1)SGD$6000 a year in school fees(excluding transport and living expense) might look like a large number. But the trick to dealing with it is to manage it well. Some skill in controlling finances can help you greatly. Simple things suchs as breaking the lump sum into months and factor in your school fees and expense on paper will help you to plan your monthly/daily budget better. Seeking help from shatec can also be a possiblity. You can check with them if they have any finanical assistance plan for students or the option to pay fee monthly/bi-monthly.
2)Your studies. Even though you mentioned that you might be seeking two jobs to finance your studies, you have to take into consideration that the Ultimate aim of your enrollment is not to meet fee payment but rather to learn and excel in your passion of becomming a chef. Hence you will have to factor this consideration in such that you are able to excel in the course and not become too tired to learn.
Your Motivaion:
Apart from your passion, being able to motivate yourself is also very important. There will always be troubles arising from any endevor which holds true for everyone. Your family should be your greatest souce of emotional support and motivation. The desire to suceed would be greater if you realse that you are not just doing this for your own future but that of the welfare of you parents that have nutured you thus far.
Your Success:
One of the most common problems in life is that we tend to lose focus or distracted. It happens to everyone at one point or another in our lives. Always remember your goal when you start something. Infact once you have enrolled into the course, your mentality should change such that you tell yourself that you are no longer studying for the sake of studying anymore, you are embarking on a career and those skills you gain from the course will become the tools of the trade so as to speak. A clear focus on your goals will help you suceed in your passions. I wish you every success and hope that these few words are able to help you in your journey ahead to becoming a great chef.
Best regards,
L.I.P -
X 2. There are splendid people who are generated from there too...? No matter how the world might see you, the last person to give up on yourself is you...Originally posted by Rejected:what's wrong with ITE?
-
Imagine you went poly, then you got kicked out. So now you only have an O lvls cert which is worse than ITE grads.
-
grades a jus a piece of paper certifying that u can copy n paste effectively from thetextbooks to the exam papers. dun red, wats more impt is how u understand it.

i feel that people from ITE tend to excel better in the working society than people from shatec. i was told that employers would rather employ people from ITE because people from ITE are more hardworking, etc.
and yep who says if you go to poly, JC means you're smart? and who said that going to ITE means you're stupid? you can't judge anything based on your O's cert. i've got ITE friends in poly too and doing fine. ITE is basically just a stepping stone for people who learn slower or lazy.
don't condemn ITE just from hearsay from the public. true no doubt there are hooligans and all from ITE but so as long as you're not one who cares right? its your future that counts. please find out more about the employment rate between the people from ITE and shatec. -
nowadays young ppl jus tink dat killing themselves is a solution.
if you tink dat can solve all problems, do it. or maybe i should help in killing you.
you young ppl are all simple minded idiots. -
if u dun wan shatec or ITE, u can take jobs and retake O's again as private, try 2 enter JC or poly e next year.. i tink tats a better option for ya

Hey TS, I am from HTM from TP.
If you would like to go to CCM, please undergo the private interview session or the DAE session. Go down to TP and meet up with one of the lecturers. They will try to help you out. -
LoL!!!
i expected ppl to flame ite students, mainly from rich n "educated" kids. haha...
i'm from ite, i flunk my Os but i made it to higher nitec. i told myself, i needed a cert, n since i can only go higher nitec, i might as well endure it n get a cert. so i flipped thru the classifieds n see dat mechanical engineerin has the most prospective as they had many advertisements. so i made a decision on goin thru studyin agn. i had the phobia of takin exams as i alr flunk my Os. but still i told myself i need a cert. i had absolutely no interest in mechanical engineerin but it's for dat piece of paper. the paper dat i someday will nd to use to get a job.
ite is the easiest to get As if u just listen to lectures n have the right attitude.
my 1st semester in ite was great, had a couple of As and Bs, my gpa went up. den i suffered a breakup and my 2nd semester was bad, no As or Bs so my gpa got pulled down. my 3rd semester was only average. my last semester, i hang out with 24-26yr old lao jiao, and they ask me 1 qns dat changed my point of view. they asked me, "look at us, we're alr 24,25 yrs old n still comin to ite, bcos we didn't study last time. wld u wana end up like us?" they were a role model to me as thru out their ite life, they had mostly if not all As, gpa higher den 3.8. so from dat qns, i realised dat i needed to get my gpa up to make my cert look better. with the support of my gf, i pulled thru and got 4As, 1B and 1D. i didn't get debar on any semester. my gpa went up n it only allow me to go into 1st year poly. i'm in NS now, i might continue studyin after NS.
it's all bcos of a cert. a cert dat u might need to depend on if u can't find other jobs.
with the correct mind set, attitude and peers, studyin n scorin nice results is ez. so nw u decide wat u shld do. endin ur life will only make ur family, friends and ppl who care sad. tink abt them b4 u tink abt urself. tink abt hw they will feel when they lose u. it's not the end.
in fact, if i'm not wrong, degree holders cannot determine a place in a company. and ite students are gettin even more jobs as we r more hands on den poly students, hence our experience is more.
decide n choose ur path. dun let wat others tink put u down. show them wat u can do like me. i disappointed them b4, therefore i try harder to prove to them.
