Bro,if you wanna go to ITE nobody can stop you.
However,I would like to share what I went through with you.
I was a Sec 4 Express student.Flunked my O level Maths.That sealed my fate.
Didn't want to retake it.Hated Maths to the core.
So I went to ITE.Chose a course I really liked and had a passion for,Automotive Technology.
If you choose something you really like,trust me,you'll be learning and absorbing knowledge almost automatically.
Ended up graduating as the top student,with a certificate of merit.Scored 3.8 out 4 for my GPA.Can get direct 2nd year entry for some diploma courses,but now I doing NS first.
Then those gangsters,It's the end stories lah,just ignore it.I got into some shit myself.Regretted it.Don't mix with the wrong people while you're in there and make the best of it.My teachers were damn supportive.
