Ok, so I just ended the first week of my advanced diploma course. Well, I'm definitely glad to be back in NYP on a daily basis :) Finally the desire to attend lectures, tutorials and lab lessons are met. Just that this time, I am with a bunch of really hardworking & smart mature students. And me being a typical human being, I just get so pressured by this kia su culture around me.
As much as I can, I am trying VERY hard not to compare with others or let this stupid GPA thingy put me down. If you wanna know the background, my manager emphasised that I need to get at least a 3.5 for my GPA. And it's all for a better future blah blah blah. But... not everyone is born to be smart and excel right...
So now, I AM STRESSED OUT! After I graduate, I will CONSIDER if I want to take my degree. Anyway, I don't desire to be top here top there top everywhere. I just want to play my little small part to run my organisation and be contented with what ever things that come to me :) Making it my life motto!
At the same time, I am rather inspired by my course coordinator(form teacher, if you wanna put it that way). She spent most of her career life in the UK and did her masters there as well. Bet she mingled with all the British and some even had to address her as "sister". By looking at such people, I begin to realise that I am a nobody.
What's my plan after taking this course? I don't know. I seriously don't know. I just hope that I will fair reasonably well- Make myself proud at least.
Concerns aside, I am having my very first full weekend experience :) Woohoo!!! But it comes with a price... I will probably be catching up with my learning and be doing some homework.
Still, I THANK GOD FOR TODAY!
