After 2 years, this is what my school has to say from me. Yup, my testimonial, word for word.
Phoebe is an outstanding student with a strong foundation in all her subjects. She was able to analyse concepts and solve problems requiring higher order thinking. Phoebe matched her intellectual ability with a strong desire to excel and was a conscientious and focused student with a disciplined and meticulous approach towards her studies. She had exemplary work attitude and was a pleasure to teach. She was always prepared and fully engaged during lessons, and shared her ideas freely with others. She was one who never hesitated in challenging conventional ideas.
Although she performed well in General Paper, Phoebe was not one to rest on her laurels. Her essays were fluently written and a pleasure to read and she was a real joy to teach because of her wonderful temperament and natural flair. She needed no prompting to participate in class discussions and in fact was always spontaneously contributing to the learning forum in class by articulating insightful comments as well as thought-provoking ideas that enriched and benefitted her classmates. Her ability to argue her cases convincingly was strong testimony of her powers of analysis, depth of maturity and independence of thought.
Besides being committed to her studies, Phoebe was a very responsible, capable and efficient committee member of the First Aid Unit. As Public Duty Office, she was always helpful and participated in all the activities organised by the unit with great enthusiasm. Apart from these activities, she also volunteered her services in the Changi General Hospital's pharmacy and forums. She was respectful, unassuming and well-liked by her peers in the unit. Phoebe was also a responsible Biology Subject Representative, who carried out her duties faithfully. She took pride in her work and displayed a high degree of efficiency
A well-mannered and independent young lady, Phoebe exhibits maturity of thought and displays a pleasant disposition. She is a tenacious go-getter, who sets clear personal goals for herself and makes a sustained effort to achieve them. She speaks her mind candidly but is a considerate girl who has the courage of her convictions to old on steadfastly to her values and beliefs.
The end.
And no... I didn't bribe any of my tutors to write that, my, I'm even surprised!!!
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
