When I left camp, I was very unhappy, maybe because of the thoughts that ran through my head during the day.
I felt that I was stagnating in personal development, it's like during NS, your life takes a pause while everyone else leaps ahead. My friends from secondary school who took the JC path will be graduating with a degree in a year, where do I stand? I still have 10 more months of service to go, then maybe several more months to wait before I go into university.
By then my friends will have come out with degrees and getting a fresh head start in their respective professions. I must get myself that degree and a scholarship if I want to keep on par with them and even catch up with their achievements. We're not getting any younger, I'll be 22 by the time I start my university studies and finish at 26!
Why are others so lucky? Why do others have a rich family, a nice car, a place in an overseas university with a scholarship to go? Why cant I have those? Am I not working hard enough?
