#Lifebeyondgrades: Share your PSLE score and where you are in life here now?

24x and I've been to schools and classes where people can be scoring all sorts of PSLE scores back then.

It's definitely less of an indicator of anything, the further in the past it is.

I graduated from college last year and I'm doing my best at my first job.

PSLE:199

O levels: 29 points for L1R4. Couldn’t even qualify for any poly so had to take private dip.

Now after a decade, I’m taking a private degree at 30, having a wife and a adorable daughter!

Am working as a key account manager in a listed company currently, love my job, love my colleagues. Life is great! :)

PSLE: 191

N Level: can't remember

O level: 21

A levels: AAC/A (was the turning point. Went to MI for A levels, which is 3 years. Basically didn't focus on studies for the first 2 years. Managed to go 3rd year, but appealed to vice-principle to be retained back to 2nd year. Worked double hard. became top few students for A level.

Currently: Auditor for Big 4

Goals: Not really sure, just give my best and get to where I'm suppose to be. haha any goal setting advice?

PSLE Score: 175

N levels to Poly then to local U.

Graduated first class from NTU. I honestly say good grades are over rated and not the ONLY benchmark of success, more importantly we must be resilient and be able to adapt to changes well. Be kind to others, our lives are more than what we do.

However, my only way out of the lower middle class (both parents are janitors) was education so I had to strive. Now working in a global MNC and living a modest life.

story is, it does not matter how you start off the race... it only matters how you end.

how brutal our education system is to rule out opportunities for late bloomers... to all parents and kids out there, do not give up and keep faith!! Your turn will shine one day!
