Gosh, i just came back from school not long ago.
Well, i don't end late, it's just that i've been hanging around after school.
Ahhhh, omg im so tired every morning when i wake up.
It has seriously been a long time since i felt like school tired.

Today is like just a random thought and feeling that i have about 'discrimination of schools'
Kinda experienced it myself, but i've got no idea why i've got the 'feel' to write about it now.
Yes, schools like RP & ITE are known as the... I dunnno, where people have no choice but to go there?
Honestly, that's what happened to me, i dun mean to imply to everyone.
But it did for me.
I remebered what my friends said abt RP before i entered it and like when i entered it.
What's with people and the stigma of the school name.
Well... Honestly speaking i do have. But i was thinking what caused us to think this way.
But i've got nth against anyone from RP or ITE.
It's just me. Maybe it's the fact that i caught up alot ( but not enough ) from failing to everything to at least passing? Yeahh... Not enough. I regretted my actions though.
But what's with people and the judgemental face when they hear that someone is from a lousier school?
Im not saying to everyone, but just a few people.
I really do hate it when people are like 'what school are you in?' and then you say the school and they go like ' really uh?'
No luh no luh, fake one. It's like we don't want it to happen either?
But at least have some respect?

In this judgemental society, yes entering a good school means that you are smart and all that.
However, to me i feel that everyone is just different.
Some are street smart, book smart or just plain nerd. And as for me? Im definitely street smart.
I hate memorising off books word by word and all that.
So, everyone is good at different stuffs so what makes you think from hearing what school you're from means that you are better than the other one.
I'm pretty sure my points are able to get me into a better school. I'm not saying that i did well cuz i didn't honestly.
But i could have gotten me into a better school but into a course that doesn't interest me.
Such as designs, engineering and  media i think? Some of the courses are in BA too,
But the thing is, the schools that always caught my attention would definitely be 'Humanities'
No doubt and then sciences.
But i cant enter any of the courses avaliable in other schools, which left me with RP.
That's why i entered there.
But does it mean that im a lousier or stupider person?
Sadly in this society yes.

My point is, i just hate it when people despises schools with like 'bad names/reputation'
Like sometimes you just want to punch them.
The thing is,  hang out with the right company, know your limits and make wise decisions.
That's when you will really learn.

Besides, RP is totally different from the rest of the polytechnics and that would be the Problem based learning ( PBL) we have everyday.
PBL would be the teacher ( but we call them faciliator) presenting to us a problem regarding the module we are having on that day.
Brainstorming, researching and coming up with many different ways to solve the questions.
And at the end of the day, presentation with powerpoint slides will be held.
All of these will then be calculated into the daily grade with is 40% of your GPA for that semester.
This means that we are somehow stricter with the classes and all that?
Yeah... But at the end of the day, we all just want to achieve the same thing and that is to score well.

So the next time when you are about to look down/ discriminate someone else's school.
Please think before doing so as if you WERE, Just imagine, you were in that situation.
How would you feel?
I'll never forget on what people will say on such schoools.

Yup, that's all BYEBYE.
Got to travel all the way to SP tmr to pass the ball bag. :(
Coolest thing is that Adiv matches will be held in school.
SO I CAN SEE THE ADIV NETBALL PLAYES. :D
Like anna and all the other BP and SC players. WHOOOPWHOOOP.
