People often say that it's useless to study History because you can't really do much in life with History. It's not like Physics, which can help you gain admission into many university courses or jobs.Well but is it really so?
People often ask me why I chose to study History instead of something more practical, say Geography (it's just an example). Besides liking History better, I realised that more importantly, History gives me a sense of humanity and teaches me how to empathise.
You know, that's not a quality which everyone has or has the ability to display.
Some people just don't have it (even if they do study history).
Thinking about what I've done this school year, I realised what a doofus I have been. Throughout the year, I've never failed to think that things will work themselves out in the end. For much too long, I have been taking my grades for granted and realisations come much too late. Certainly, there are people who are naturally intelligent and need not study much in order to get good grades. But my circumstances work against me in that aspect and so, I've got to work hard. I made so many silly decisions this year and many regrettable ones as well. I suppose they accelerated my maturity in a way or another. Still, I AM a doofus.
Here are my grades on display:
Biomedical Science - 64 (B4)
Chemistry - 66 (B3)
CID - 86 (A1)
HCL - 61 (B4)
History - 73 (A2)
Language Arts - 74 (A2)
-> This completely embarrasses me. I speak English (and Canto) at home since young!
Mathematics - 44 (E8)
Mathematics - 44 (E8)
-> This completely embarrasses my dad since he was a math pro at school during his days.
Physics - 48 (D7)
Singapore Studies - 65 (B3)
G.P.A = 2.6
Physics - 48 (D7)
Singapore Studies - 65 (B3)
G.P.A = 2.6
-> To which my dad commented, "Chey! Just pass only!"
-> To which Peeko replied, "Okay already lah. Try harder!"
-> To which Peeko replied, "Okay already lah. Try harder!"
-> To which I continued eating my dinner.
Overall Average = 64.6%
Well, I can foresee that I shall have to be extremely hardworking in order to fulfill my goal/s next year. I suppose I shall work towards 7 As and 2 Bs. I would like to get into a Humanities programme, get a G.P.A of 3.5 and fly away ;)

There's no point in being sad, speaking of which I hardly brood over my results. Results will always be results.
