After succeeding at the CSEC level, I was so confused about what to do. Should I work? Should I go straight to UWI? Should I just take a year off? These were some of the many questions that confused my mind for weeks, maybe a month even. In no time, I made friends. who to this day are still my friends.  Fast-forward. During my stay at this institute, I met some of the best, best, BEST, teachers to ever grace the planet. I was astonished by the encouraging, motivating and welcoming spirit of these teachers who worked tirelessly to ensure your potential does not go to waste. Besides the academics though, this school offers a wide variety of extra and co-curricular activities; from Dragon boating, IVCF, Drama, among many, many other clubs. Additionally, the housing competitions were the best. These competitions ranged from Cricket to Parang, Pageant “Mr and Ms. POLY”, and even Evening Sweat (football).  In my final year, I was a part of the Student Council team who worked cohesively with the teaching staff to accommodate students’ opinions and wishes for the betterment of the physical and teaching environment. I Also became the captain of the purple house. This not only made me enthusiastic but I learnt responsibility, time management and the importance of participation. These qualities that I now feverishly possess, have been very instrumental in my now, University life.  All in all, attending Polytechnic was the best decision of my life.
