My side of story in ITE!
I’m Wisly Low Xu Hang, 20 this year. Studied in Nitec in Mechanical Technology (2008), Currently Studying in Republic Polytechnic ( 2010 )
1. Are you proud to be once an ITE student? Why? What were some things you liked about being an ITE student?
Yes I am! Definitely yes! I have gone through thick and thin through that 2 years and I have no regrets on studying once in ITE! Be it on what other people commented about ITE students, just be proud after you graduate. What are things i like about being an ITE students is that I am able to be who I am and what I am despite what others said I just like the way it is!
2. Name one person in ITE (principal/lecturer/stall vendor/school attendant/customer service officer/friend) who left a deep impression/influenced you/motivated you/inspired you/given you support/guidance…
This lecturer/ form teacher name, Mr Lim kok Hwee is the one that gave me a deep impression, influenced me, motivates me, inspired me, gave me support! He is a person that doesn’t gives up on the students despite them not willing to study but he didn’t gave up at all but continues to teach with determination and his full respect to students too! He determination, will spirit and motivations to the students left me a impression on him that when the name ITE is mentioned, it reminds me of him, he is a teacher that treats his students like his own family and that’s why he is not nobody but somebody that worth my full respect to him.
3. Tell us about one proudest moment or a most memorable experience u had during your time at ITE
It was a time when I had to do a very big event on spreading AIDS awareness to the campus/ public in the college. My team was the only team that was chosen to do on it and it was a 5 man team representing the school , it was a rough journey but we clinch on and complete it. It was a competition against the rest of the campus so it was really challenging, it was sponsored by HPB( Health Promotion Board ) so it’s quite a big event. For a first timer like me doing this was quite stressful at that point of time and some things happened between manpower, end up it was like a 3 man team instead BUT end up we did it and we are really proud of each other.
4. Has ITE changed you in any ways and how?
Yes, mentally changed me by how I looked upon on my future and what to do in the future, mature thinking, thinking positively, independent.
5. What was your perception of ITE before you joined, and what is your perception now? Will you recommend ITE to your younger friends?
When I entered ITE, I was told by others saying that ITE isn’t a great school, no point studying so hard at all! Just relax and let it be. But they are all wrong! Studying there was one of my greatest achievements ever! I would definitely recommend to my younger friends.
6. What opportunities has ITE provided you? And how have those opportunities shaped your schooling experience and personality?
ITE has somehow given me a chance to do even better after my secondary school days! Why I ended up in ITE is because I haven’t done well in my N levels ( Normal Academics ) back then. ITE is like a place for me to start a fresh of where I fall and it pulls me back up and continue my journey to the end.
7. Use one word to describe ITE.
ITE - It’s To Enjoy.
8. What are you doing now and how has life after ITE been like? How well has ITE prepared you for further studies and/or a fulfilling career?
I’m currently studying in Republic Polytechnic and life in poly is so much different than in ITE, life’s much more difficult but I am able to strive on walked my way through but there are still lots of obstacle in front that I have to compete but ITE gave me a jump start and gave me knowledge that could be used in my current studies and I’m and proud to say that I’m a ITE student once!
PS: I lose all my pictures after the time when I graduate.
