a)Education alone is a major key event in every Singaporean's life. If i do well for all my examinations, i will have a chance to prolong my school education my 2 years by advancing to a JC, which i did. Has the past years been worthwhile? Meaningful?
Through education, I unknowingly discovered my own strengths and weaknesses and the social roles each one of us plays. Tolerance, teamwork, friendship, even prejudice, selfishness and enmity were not in the school syllabus. But we experienced those along with education. Without education and schooling, I doubt very much whether i can be a successful social animal, i would be helpless and no friends will be around in times of need.Surprisingly, nobody knew education would mould one's character and attitude until they were 'educated'. Doing well in studies in this competitive country was top priority but I also learnt not to underestimate others, a skinny runt at the back of the classroom who is ostracized is usually one that would beat the others with straight As at the end of the day. In the process of receiving compulsory education, I discovered teachers are also human. They err and sometimes are often not the best of my role models. But that does not mean I should not respect them, Education has taught me to reason and discriminate accordingly.
I may not be the best student in school but the experience in school is priceless and what i am today is the direct result of my education. It is not the results I am referring to but the very fact that i can express my honest views on paper as i am doing now should vouch for the worth of my education, a worthwhile and meaningful journey in my life.
