ITE

Hi, this is just another rant, u dont have to read it.

So, now my aunt is in my house now.
Then she talk abt her daughter who is now in JC.
She said, there is this friend of her went on facebook and asked her, so hows ur daughter now, where she studying in and etc...
My aunt said that her daughter now is in JC...
Then this friend of hers said that, "wow study in JC, very li hai woh."
(btw, they communicate in chinese)

I was thinking... meaning ITE student bu li hai la ? I know, many pple will look down on ITE student.
Especially when the child is from a v good school and the parents go, hey, ITE student is blablabla, you shouldnt make friend with them. This one, might hurt but not so bad.
But then, I still wanna share, that time when I receive my O lvl result, I know I am going to ITE.
Because, I know that I am still going to fail no matter how hardworking I am when I study...
Yet, I still cry, I feel that I have let down my parents and etc.

One thing which I really regretted is that I accept the request to be part of Student councillor when I was in sec 3. Which is also the year whereby we build our foundation... There are so many events, hard for me to catch up during lesson, cos meeting end late. Very tiring and many more.
My result start to drop... no more top in class. No more pple coming to bootlick me (they always want me to teach them and treat me v nice but backstab me) Everything just gone. Even the top 25% also gone.
Okay, I know, no use regretted. Have to move on, so back to topic...
Yup, very few of them know that I going ITE. When I reached home. My dad was very angry...
Both my dad and mom quarrelled... I am sorry...

A lot of them, keep asking me, so which school you going to ? JC or Poly ?
I lie... I said, I going Poly.. And I told them to stop asking me this qns. cos I am not going to answer anyways. I feel very bad. First year, when I go to school, I wear jacket, cos if someone I know, saw me wearing ITE uniform, then how ? How am I going to explain to them ?
As time went by, I start to think that " hey, actually ITE not bad eh, a lot of nice pple, nice teachers and many more."  I start to LOVE ITE.

Then, I slowly telling pple the truth that I am from ITE, Game Design and Development.
I was happy cos this course is a very special course and its one and only course in ITE.
People who I told them that I am from ITE.
They were shocked, they said, I thought you said, you going poly, why you said your from ITE ?
I told them, I dont want pple to know and also to look down on me.
Some of them, REALLY DO LOOK DOWN ON ME and never talk to me anymore.
Some of them goes, oh so your from ITE :/ oh okay... :X then the conversation went awkward and somehow drifting apart and never talk anymore.
Yet, I am glad that some of them dont look down on me and still talk to me like before. ^^
Even though lesser pple talk to me, still makes me feel that, they are really my true hi-bye friend.

Another way is, they say words to shoot you indirectly. This one more hurtful.
This happen to me before, my house opposite is ITE west, thats why a lot of student took LRT to go to school.
As for me, I have to go to the opposite platform and board the train.
It is squeezy cos that time was early in the morning when sec sch students  & working adults have to board the train too.
A mother was bringing a pri sch kids. Both of them was looking out of the window and saw a lot of ITE students walking toward the campus...
This conversation goes...
"Ah boy, you better study hard hor, if not you end up in ITE which is not good."
"If you fail your english and everything, you will be there, so work hard."
"They are useless pple"
 and went on blablabla,
I was infront of them somemore...

Everyone says that ITE meaning Its The End...
Everyone says that JC student are those future pple who will become the government...

The main point is, did anyone know that, ITE students also can give it a shot and make it big ?
There are ITE students now, making big money, went university and etc.
ITE students are students who have creativity. They create new stuff. Bring it to the society and make pple's life more convenient.
How about those ITE students who study engineering ? They learn and help to repair stuff. If not how you pple gonna use the stuff ? Do you have any ideas on how to repair it ?

Maybe, there are some ITE students who doesnt wanna work hard and being lazy. All day long wanna make trouble only. This are pple who wanna give up on themselves. For me, I personally feel that, this type of pple, wanna give up on themselves is because... they see pple looking down on them, they feel so inferior  or got this feeling like "aiya, pple look down on me already, whatever I do, they wont even care or blablabla" Since pple give up on them, so they give up on themselves...

On the other hand, there were pple who smoke, dress like gangster, sleep in class and etc etc...
Beware, they are pple who are top scorer, 4pointer, this are what we called "the black horse". Thats why, dont judge a book by its cover... Also, there are students who wanna learn too. Wanna work hard for a better future. They are struggling. Everyday, they have to smile happily. Yet the public still give that type of "look down on you" that stare. Do you know how it feels like ?

SO please dont be judgemental. Everyone is different, dont give us that type attitude and really think that, its the end for us. NO its not okay. I believe that all of the ITE students are hardworking and make it big one day. We will prove you wrong !!!

Also, I am not saying that, JC is not good. Just that its too good that pple put too much attention on them.
While we ITE students become so insignificant even though we did good stuff. Yet gaining so much attention when we just did one small mistake. A mistake that everyone will remember and pinpoint them...
