Richer students = smarter students?

Did you ever notice that the branded schools in Singapore usually have high-end cars (ie, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar) spewing out of their front gates every morning?

Maybe richer students = smarter students.

Everyone is born with a brain. That we know. And it's up to the parents to determine how smart their child can get. Through Mozart, through books, through encylopaedias (everything has been tested on me, and look how I turned out. Just kidding :D) and everything else that money can buy.

Let me give you an example.

One child is born into a rich family; let's call him Richie. Another child is born into a financially unstable family, let's call him Tom.

Richie is showered, from birth, Mozart CDs, encylopaedias made easy, tuition... whilst little Tom was made to inherit torn and tattered textbooks from his older siblings which look the worse for the wear. He has no tuition and had to count on help from his school teachers.

Who eventually went to Raffles Insitution, with the state-of-the-art facilities, numerous CCAs and iMac-ed computer labs?

DING DING DING DING! Richie.

It's because of the tuition and various motivational courses that Richie's parents showered on him. Maybe.

However, some may beg to differ. I, personally have friends who are of the middle-class status, like me, who actually made it to the branded schools with no tuition, and with tattered textbooks.

The bottom line, it MAY help if you're from a rich family, so that you can have tuition and stuffs, and you can achieve better grades. But it also doesn't mean you don't have the potential.

EVERYONE has potential within them (yes, even people I despise.), it's just the matter if you've found it or you haven't discovered it yet. I myself haven't, and I'm finding, and searching for it.

Haha. I'm off to play Audition, then study.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, IT'LL BE THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE.


i guess i can't say a simple "i love you" to you on MSN anymore
since you already love someone else.
the only way i can say it to you again
if that person you have been admiring is me.
