My biggest regret was not having any interest to study. I didn't have a dream, neither do I have a goal.
The worst EMb3 in my school yet not retaining is 27. 27 means passing three subjects with grade 5s only(grade 5 is obtaining scores from 50-60), and fail 2 other subjects, (scores between 0-50 are automatically equivalent to grade 6) 5+5+5+6+6=27
Every single year from my secondary one to three, I barely scraped through. And every single year, I never feared to end up retaining. In my secondary 3's mid year, I shamefully scored 28 (passed 2 only) and in end of year, I got 27. Once again, luckily promoted.

I happened to fail both science and mathematics, the most important subjects other than english, in secondary 4, I had to work twice as hard compared to others in order to catch up. I started wanting to catch up because I realise that I have to at least try so that I won't regret with a "useless" future.
As I tried my best catching up, I struggled a lot since I don't have the "foundations" in any of the subjects. All thanks to my form teacher and other few teachers that never give up on me together along with a new supportive bunch of friends, I did way better for my N levels and am currently striving with determination to do well for my O levels!
A few years back, I never wanted to do well. I never knew I could do well either. I lost interest in secondary one because back then, my math teacher looked down on me because of my reputation. He didn't teach me, makes me leave the class, scold me for all sorts of reasons, and basically told me " I bet youre going to fail math" even when I didn't do anything wrong.
My reputation was tarnished because of the amount of times I'm late for school, the amount of disciplinary cases I got myself into for being mischievous, the people around my social circus, so on and so forth.

In secondary two, my principal changed my mathematics teacher 5times, so in a year I have 6 teachers, my entire class failed harmoniously other than those with tuition.
In secondary 3, I wanted to try doing back mathematics since im already like what? 20+/100? That year, my teacher said I have no foundation at all and totally ignored me every time I ask him questions.
Science was pretty bad too. My secondary one and two science results were still rather acceptable, however, in secondary 3, yet again because of my fascinating fantastic records in school, the teacher hated me, chase me out of the class for all sorts of random reasons. I end up leaving the classrooms everytime its his lesson without him asking me to do so. I end up with 30+/100 for science and 20+/100 for math in secondary 3. Needless to say, I lost interest in both math and science.
I did pretty badly in other subjects as well but these were the worst encounters. Anyways, in secondary 4, I met really good teachers and started picking up the foundations I don't have during countless consultations. I started trying my best, people say practice makes perfection. I started practicing, doing more than my classmates. I end up doing pretty decently for my N levels.
Yet again, my regret is giving up on myself when some of my teachers gave up on me. To all those reading this, please dont give up on yourself, and one day, everything will be okay even though it is not for now!! Aim for the As, even if you fail, you'll get a B or a C!! You'll get what you have worked for!!
