In this video, I shared everything about my past 10 years under Singapore education --- mostly about my experience attending Singapore's Government / Local Schools, specifically Marymount Convent School and School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA).
I had fun reminiscing my time well spent in these schools for which I have so much to be thankful...
I wouldn't want to exchange my experience in these schools for anything else.
I also hope that what I've shared cleared your questions and doubts regarding Singapore education, and that you got to know more about Singapore education!!

Singapore has an education system that has many different paths for a young child to take. It is a “luxury “ compared to most countries but still affordable for her citizens. The problem is that some parents just have a mindset that their children must be a lawyer, doctor, engineer, accountant and nothing else. And the very same parents who think only branded schools and tuition and more tuition. Then the same parents blame the system. But they forgot they are part of the system too.

We respect your decision to move on to study in an overseas school in July instead of completing your IB in SOTA. With your positive attitude and drive, you will be successful whichever path you take. We wish you the very best for your future, and hope your family can become Singapore citizens.❤❤😊

As an adult, i can't help but think how mature you are for your age compared to back then when i was 16. Being so introspective, so mindful and aware of the values that you picked up and holding such intellectual and deep discussion with great confidence was not something i would have done when i was 16. And to top it up, taking ownership of your own learning journey and not wanting to conform to the majority mindset and limitations set in Singapore schools and choosing to venture out at this age. I am truly impressed and believe you have a wonderful future ahead of you! Thank you for doing this video and looking forward to see how your journey progress in time to come~

@@renderz8435 it is no doubt life experiences makes one mature. But for the case of Coco, she has been in Singapore for most of her life, making her life no much different as any sgreans' life. So you might want to elaborate your point about this 'too sheltered' and how does it not affect her who is pretty much living a sgprean life.

as a singaporean who is currently studying in polytechnic, i really agree with what u said on completing projects for the sake of completion. so obviously already went thru psle and o'lvls, which was indeed stressful periods of time for people taking it, but many enjoyed their school life (esp friends) and i hope you did too. i chose a science course in poly, which piqued my interest initially, but now im so done with the continuous assignments that i feel burnt out. im glad that u made such a decision for yourself and hope all the best for ur future endeavours!

You know you are brought up in the educational system in Singapore when you list in pros and cons 😊. It helps make better decisions in life, and even when you question that decision later, you will know at that point in life, you know what you wanted. Good luck in your new school. I'm sure you will excel in your new environment because you seem so thoughtful and appreciative. When you have trained since young to take lots of pressure , you will find out that alot of things in life are manageable. The stress of life never goes away (that's the meaning of life) but you will know how to break it down and manage it.

Excellent presentation by a 15/16 yo. I am particularly impressed by your experience when learning about the Japanese Occupation in the local school. I have worked with the Americans and Japanese for many years, and I congratulate you for attaining such a good balance of creativity (of the former) and discipline (of the latter). Maybe that's what the Singaporean education (i.e. SOTA) is good for. Keep up the good work and wish you all the best for your further studies.

@veekwok5611 11 ай бұрын

My daughter was one of the first batch of students from SOTA and I can relate how she, like you, struggled through her six years there. I bet your parents made the right choice sending you to a local primary school and that you have no regret about it. Through sheer determination in her final year at SOTA, my daughter managed a decent result for her IB Examination and get a place in NUS. Now she has a good stable job and is independent and confident of herself. Overall, I think SOTA is a very good school that hone your interest in arts as well as giving you an alternative for academic excellence. I am surprised that you made the decision to quit SOTA for an overseas school but I am sure you must have a good reason for doing so. Anyway, I subscribe to your channel, wishing you all the best and looking forward to more updates on your progress and future endeavours. Congratulations to your 200 subscribers, cheers!

@cocolelele 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for your well wishes!! Yes! Like I mentioned numerous times in this video, SOTA is a good school and there's so many things I gained from my time there :) And that is the reason why I still do feel a little hesitant in my decision to quit SOTA for an overseas school. Nevertheless, I will do my absolute best and make no regrets!!

@atatur123 11 ай бұрын

I went to arts stream in a top school in SG (not SOTA). There are people I know who transferred out of the SG education system because it wasn't a good fit for them who are now doing really well in life. I am happy to hear that your daughter came out on the other side but that doesn't need to be everyone's journey. Ultimately from a career/results POV, it matters very little where you go to school or uni. What's important is that you enjoy your formative years and the experiences you have during it. You won't get your child & teen years back once you become an adult. From that perspective, I think @cocolelele is making the right decision.

@veekwok5611 11 ай бұрын

@@atatur123 I can see where you are coming from because my daughter had the same attitude during her teenage formative years. Maybe I am talking as a parent coming from an average income family. I must emphasized that I am not discouraging anyone who wish to study overseas especially if their parents could afford it. I am just somewhat surprised because Coco is already in her fourth year in SOTA and could have put in some efforts (I know it is stressful) for another 2 years and then study in an overseas university but I am sure she knows what is right for her. There is no doubt that there are pros of studying overseas. My daughter was lucky enough to successfully applied for the NUS Global Internship Programme and was able to enjoy working and studying in Shanghai for one full year. To her, that was the best experience and most enjoyable and fruitful time she had during her school years and had given her a head start when she graduated from NUS. Of course there are people who take different paths and are happy and successful. Even though I said SOTA is a good school, it is also true that some are not as successful and happy after they have graduated from their chosen overseas universities, especially if they pursued their passion in arts. Somehow, whether is it visual art, dance, music or theatre, Singapore just does not have good opportunities for these talented graduates.

Having said that, I also agree that when you realise why the system isn't right for you and open yourself up to better opportunities elsewhere, it can also be really beneficial and mind-broadening.

Do embrace your identity well when you are swept by all the cultural stuff overseas and I guess you will be well trained to have life skills to live in the “real world” outside Singapore and recognize the unconscious biases, work the situations with wisdom, and turn the odds in your favour for being unique and special. I wish you will retain your authenticity and warmth, to have empathy to the less fortunate and less privileged, and be always grateful to the opportunities that Singapore education had provided you. It was interesting to hear about your experience learning about the Japanese occupation in which you show maturity and authenticity. May you bring this spirit wherever you go. Remember never do the things for the sake of grades(for others to validate your strengths), and never do it for the sake of money (due to greed). I wish you all the best. God bless you. ❤

Stumbling upon this KZfaq video felt like discovering a clear water drop in a polluted pond. I was impressed by you who may expressed your thoughts with clarity, gratitude, and a positive mindset. We really need more voices like yours to bring light and civility to the online world today. For that reason and in appreciation of your efforts, I would definitely give you a like, Coco. BTW, I especially like the way you end your video with the National Pledge of Singapore leh! 👍🇸🇬🎉😊💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I just watched out of curiosity and now I can't wait to see what becomes of you in the far future. Simply because I think everythig you said is really sensible and sincere too. I studied so many years ago and still I can relate to the stories shared. Yes, young students are not politocal. We never even cared when Malaysian and Singapore politics had sqabbles. Much less for any decendants. But yes, we remember to appreciate the hardships and sacrifice of our forebearers to have our freedom and independence as a nation today. So glad you got thru that part unscathed. I just wanted to tell you, although it's hard to part now, you will not regret expanding your experience into the wider world. 🥰 Excited for your experiences and hope you'll always be part Singaporean forever. Bless you always my dear! 👏👏 💪
