I really do not know if I made the right decision to leave the junior college till now. I always seem to have regrets time after time. I think the problem lies with me because I am the one that made the decision and no one forced me to.

I had three choices at that time, to stay in Serangoon Junior College which I was posted to, to fill up the appeal form to Meridian Junior College through sailing, or to change my course of study and go to Singapore Polytechnic which I already have a course in mind.

Unexpectedly, I chose the polytechnic route. The question now was to regret or to accept. Accepting my decision was the most difficult thing for me as I would have to leave my junior college and friends, and a polytechnic life would be a thing I would never look forward to. No more uniform, no more concession and the worst thing was that most of my friends are in junior college.

The regrets were that every time I pass by junior college people in their uniforms it will remind me of the decision I made and comparing my junior college life to polytechnic life, I would say that life in junior college was definitely more fun. The people there were all helpful and understanding. Many differences I had to accept were not what I want, but I think this is just a small part of life everyone must accept. Now I just want to complete my studies and leave polytechnic with a good diploma, and hopefully get a place in the local university where I hope to meet nice people.
