Terence Seng sat for the 2011 O Levels.
A slim build guy who blushes like a red tomato at the slightest thing, that is what i remembered of him every lesson. He never fails to complete his homework given to him. Perhaps you could call him a late bloomer, he wasn't academically inclined during his primary school, and got into Normal Technical Stream during Secondary One. He persevered, did well for Secondary one and was promoted to Normal Academic, and was given a chance to sit through to the O levels. He did his E.maths O levels at Sec 4, scoring a B3.
Through his friend, he got to know about Wayne Jones Eduhouse, and contacted me. There he was quiet during our first meet-up when i interviewed him. And after a few questions, he confessed that he wasn't doing well for A.maths in school and was desperate looking for help. "How could i reject a student who has the perseverance in his eyes telling me that he wants to own A.maths" i told myself.
Terence knew he was at the back of the pack at the first lesson, when the other students were working out the sums very quickly after i have explained a few sums on the board. But he was not affected, he knew he started late so has to work even harder. For every Mock tests i gave, Terence is one of the few students who took the initiative to drop by WJE and have it completed. He would be very interested to know how well he has scored. Week by week, Terence caught up with most of the pack.
As the story goes, hard work pays off, he scored A2 for his A.maths, and even bettering it off with an A2 for his Emaths.
This is a story of a student who started off from Normal Technical and got distinctions for both Maths. A role model for many.
I have had the pleasure of working with this spectacular guy. I congratulate you, Terence. =)
