I carried forward the positive attitude that I cultivated in ITE to Poly. I continued to revise the lessons taught every day and complete all assignments from the lecturers. The new lecture-tutorial format at Poly trained me to be more adaptable, as one topic was taught in a lesson followed by a tutorial class the following week. I also became a more independent learner who could self-study and seek clarifications where needed. On hindsight, the skills and experience in Poly prepared me well for the interactive pedagogy at SMU and for my internship.

I believe that the problems faced today are temporary and we should always not stop walking as good things will eventually happen. The education system in Singapore is indeed affordable as government and other organisations offer subsidies, education loans, bursaries and scholarships to provide financial support to students. No student is at a disadvantage to pursue their studies given their financial inability. Therefore, I am forever grateful to Quantedge Foundation for helping students like me with their tuition fees. My fellow QF scholars and I are stress-free about our tuition fees and we are able to dedicate most of our time to develop ourselves in SMU and to participate in various activities held in school or in external organisations.
