Do you have friends that like just suddenly have an exponential growth stage out of nowhere?
This guy I knew in sec school was the definition of stupid and lazy, didn’t do homework, didn’t do any studying, pulled his own weight in projects but that was it.
Ended up not doing so well for O levels for my school’s standards, and went to some obscure neighborhood JC. He was one of those people you either loved or hated and basically that was the class verdict on him, half of them liked him and half of us didn’t at all.
So like obviously I don’t think about him the next few years because I’m also in JC and then army and then Uni, so like I heard about him during army from a couple of my friends and it seemed that he didn’t do well enough to make it into local uni. And yeah that was it for a long time.
Then today I meet a junior who tells me that his (my junior’s) classmate is in the same… idk lab group? (sry marketing major, don’t understand science organization) as this friend of mine. And apparently he graduated (somehow) from NUS with a FCH.
Is that even fair?
How did he even get in? You all know how hard it is to get As in uni and this guy can get As reliably? If he was in marketing or arts or something that wasn’t obviously so science I’d question it less but this is like… engineering and sciences. He wasn’t even good at science and didn’t even pass math.
He’s not even from a branded JC leh, and you see all these branded JC kids finding it hard to get FCH then this guy casually can’t even make it in JC and secondary but all of a sudden FCH. I don’t get it lol it’s not like he worked hard during uni.
