Any memorable stories you would like to share of your time at elc?
elc gave me some memorable moments throughout the time I studied there. You were always sure to have fun, with many events taking place throughout the academic year. The most memorable moment would be that of winning the Annual Sports Day as the Captain of Yellow House and then the amazing group of friends that later on formed part of a family.
Did elc give you any valuable life lessons that shaped the way you conduct yourself today?
My very first year at elc shaped me as an individual, with various challenges that I had to face – from teachers to cultural adaptability. Never be too afraid of the challenge ahead of you; after crushing it, you walk out a better individual.
Favourite subject, and why?
ICT – from laughter to intense life lessons within the lesson, lessons with Mr. Loo always ensured for very educational sessions. He was not just a teacher, but a mentor.
Give 3 adjectives to describe how you feel about elc
Giving, helpful and proud
