Aspirations Page

General

I gained admission into Diploma in Information Technology(S69) in SP through the EAE scheme. I am currently holding the IMDA iPoly Scholarship. My hobbies include discovering new technology, soccer, programming, graphic designing and playing computer games. Keeping up with current tech is something that gives me great joy. Since young, technology always had a special place in my heart. I strongly believe in Charles Darwin's quote, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."

Personal

My first goal is to obtain and maintain a minimum of 3.9 GPA throughout my Polytechnic studies. To achieve this, I plan to learn some of the material for the modules and courses beforehand as far as possible. To balance my workload, I intend to schedule my studies, CCA and leisure activities by following an effective planning system . Whenever I have any inexplicable problems, I could approach my brother or my father who are IT professionals. My second goal is to be more physically fit. I intend to achieve a Gold in IPPT

Career

I aspire to work in a global technology company like Google. My dream is to work in Googleplex, USA. Google looks beyond traditional qualifications and employs those that know how to innovate, learn and work effectively within a team. As I have a very keen interest in programming, I would pursue a career in data science. The challenges of writing and debugging code are very rewarding to me. My plan is to graduate from Singapore Polytechnic and study Computer Science in NUS. I hope to get my Masters after which I will join the workforce.

Life

In secondary school, I had to choose between joining soccer or the IT Club as my CCA. Although I enjoy playing soccer, I joined the IT Club because that was my passion. I told myself that I could play soccer during my free time and pick up the skills. However, I could not source the skills and opportunities that the IT Club provided. In secondary four, I had to choose between going to a JC or Poly. My school principal and teachers advised me to go to a JC but I followed my heart
