Jessie Wong
After Jessie graduated from her secondary school, she pursued banking and finance at a polytechnic in 2021. However, when she realised that she had a deep-seated passion for STEM subjects and problem-solving, she decided to switch to the A-Level route. Taking the JC route was no easy feat for Jessie as she could not recall some of the math and science concepts that she had studied in secondary school after spending a year in polytechnic. Things took a positive turn when Jessie’s dedicated subject tutors encouraged her and gave her additional help after learning about her academic concerns. This, coupled with supportive schoolmates who readily shared their knowledge and explained the concepts that she grappled with, allowed her to gradually find the academic rigour to be an enjoyable challenge. Jessie’s academic journey has been a remarkable one and her story is a testament to the power of determination and the extraordinary heights one can reach with sheer courage and grit.
