The comparison between the average Hwa Chongian and Samuel
The stereotype goes that Hwa Chong students are nerds. We all are nerds, in a way of course. The average Hwa Chongian "mugs" a lot. We can find examples from my class. Great examples will be Gary, Shao Xuan and Akira. They are well-known or I should say well-known to me in class for burning the midnight oil. They can revise and revise until midnight or even one or two a.m. in the morning to actually study. We can see that they are actually putting in a lot of effort in their studies. This actually make me feel embarrassed and guilty in a way as I sleep at nine thirty at most of the time. I believe in having a good night sleep. Besides, my parents always wait for me. They will only sleep after they see me go to my bedroom. I do not want to make them wait for too long. I am also not exactly the hardworking type. Thus, we can see one difference, lots of sleep(compared to students from Hwa Chong) and little sleep. Another difference is that the average Hwa Chongian is more wealthy. I am not exactly rich at all. None of my parents read university. From that , you can understand my family financial situation. The average Hwa Chong students are much more wealthy. Their parents are og higher rank in their companies and their monthly income reaches 10k. I may feel sad but where am I born to is not my choice. I can only work hard to fight for what I want. The final difference is that they are much more daring. As I am not exactly rich, I try not to attract too much attention. Thus, I am not exactly very daring and brave when it comes to speaking out and voicing my own opinion. I am scared that I will be laughed at or attract negative attention. However, the average HCI students are more open and they are more active when it comes to participating in discussions.
