"Life is like a cup of tea; it won't be bitter forever, but it might be bitter for a while," expressed Lee Jacson, the 2023 graduate who achieved First-Class Grades, in a recent interview.
Seizing Opportunities with Courage
Despite working in Singapore for several years, Lee Jacson remains a remarkably young professional. His youth provides him the luxury of time and opportunities to explore his unique life path, instilling him with the courage to pursue his dreams. Simultaneously, the years of work experience have bestowed upon this young individual a degree of wisdom, teaching him the importance of thorough preparation before venturing into new endeavours.
Possessing these qualifications, Lee Jacson, influenced by his workplace’s passion for learning and self-improvement, decided to enrol in courses at Rivermore Academy. Recognizing that his current job did not align with his future plans, he understood that transitioning to a new career path required corresponding knowledge and credentials.
Facing the Challenges with Resilience
Reflecting on Lee Jacson's academic journey, one wouldn't describe his past academic achievements as outstanding; in fact, he recalls them with a sense of hardship. The struggle with various subjects was a painful experience. Today, as he undergoes a similar challenge, balancing work demands occasionally colliding with study commitments, he embraces the difficulties with unwavering effort.
The current circumstances may be more demanding, with occasional overlaps between work and study, forcing him to switch gears swiftly from the professional realm to the academic. Apart from attending online classes and ensuring a high attendance rate, he dedicates time to complete assignments, intensifying the pressure on his schedule.
However, echoing Lee Jacson's perspective that "Life is like a cup of tea; it won't be bitter forever, but it might be bitter for a while," the year-long endeavour has resulted in his attainment of a First-Class Grades in 2023. This achievement not only recognizes his hard work but also stands as a testament to the truth behind his insightful words.
