🎓 Motivated and pushing through. I’m incredibly honoured to have my last graduation at Institute of Technical Education with the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal, Course Gold Medal, and Certificate of Merit with Desmond Lee as the guest-of-honour. Starting from an unconventional childhood, to ITE, I never thought that I would ever stand on a stage for such achievements - they’re reminders of how far I’ve come and how much further I want to go. My journey through ITE was filled with moments of growth, learning, and support from the people around me - my lecturers, friends, and family who constantly encouraged me to keep going, even when things got tough. Thank you for walking this path with me🫶🏼 Now, as I transition into polytechnic, I’m realising how different and intense things can get. Juggling work and studies has been a lot harder than I expected. The pace, the workload, the late nights… it’s a new kind of challenge. But I’m learning, adjusting, and reminding myself why I started. I know I’ll find my rhythm eventually. To anyone who’s feeling the weight of transitions or self-doubt, take it one step at a time. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just don’t give up on yourself. Here’s to growth, resilience, and chasing dreams even when the path is unclear! #ITEGraduation #LeeKuanYewGoldMedal #CourseGoldMedal #CertificateOfMerit #FromITEToPoly #GratefulHeart #Resilience #StudentLife
