this is not gonna be a nice read, move along.Time: 12:03 AM i really don't see why i'm still in school, especially where i am, seeing how what i'm learning now is (however shortsighted or insensible i may be) inconsequential to LIFE. not my future but LIFE. most of what's in my notes now will never EVER save my ass from anything, or whatever it is its supposed to do. maybe its making me a more wholesome person, stretching my mind and exposing me to many different ideas so that i'll connect the dots myself and open my eyes to the intricacies of the world or WHATEVER. but i DON'T. WANT. TO. WASTE. MY. TIME. DOING. THIS. i was thinking: j2, then A levels, pray hard i do well, get results, (stuff happens), ns, then uni. i've been thinking of going into psychology for a long time, but its not as simple as i once thought it was. from what i've heard, the former isn't one of NUS' strengths; weakness, rather. so i'd either have to go overseas or do some correspondence thing (not really sure how this works yet) but what happens AFTER that. Singapore won't be a good place to practice, and although money isn't my priority, it is the essential basis i will need to achieve my ultimate goals. i wanna start my own business and most importantly, help people. i don't know how this sounds, but i think the common saying of 'anybody can make a difference' so conveniently cloaks the truth that you need to be a real somebody if you wanna make a big difference in people's lives. and if the money and resources are all mine, i'll do whatever i want to without the hassles of red tape; that slows EVERYTHING down and i hate it. so i'll be kinda stuck i guess, cos i'm not really sure where i'll be in a few years. so i looked at the present again. in my opinion, as well as that of very credible and sound-minded critics, our education systems falls short in preparing us for live, in equipping us with what we really need to survive; and while there's reform going on everywhere, and while it seems that society's mindset is shifting collectively, i believe we're far from where we think we're going. many people are still stuck in the past, not wanting to move on. like in my school. its supposedly one of the better ones, but i don't really see that. again, i may be biased and whatnot, but i think one of our most obvious 'strengths' (i hate to label it so) is our deep, deep pockets. but anyway, lotsa people in my school are really very bright, academically, and some even lifically (see i even have to create a word, cos we've deviated so far). and as enthusiastic i am for reform, for shifting the focus of our education away from: tests pointless subjects (ok maybe after some thinking i'll see they're all important) thinking that we're the only hope of the world, and that everyone else is substandard (some of the things some of my teachers have said, here and in my previous school, have led me to this conclusion; it must be made clear that not everyone is like that, though) marks marks marks and to: life
but i think a lot of the smart people won't want this change. because:
why the hell am i still up anyway. |
