Hi there! I am YiYuan. I am a secondary 4 student currently attending at Bowen secondary school. During my secondary 3 and secondary 4 years, I have studied a wide range of subjects during school curriculum and further self studies about courses I am interested in. These include Elementary and Additional Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics. With the power of the internet, I have learned some A Level syllabus content. With this additional knowledge, I am able to understand my strength and weaknesses, and able distinguish with confidence what I want to study in tertiary education. Moreover, I signed up and got chosen to represent my school for the Mathematics and Physics Olympiads. This further deepens my interests in these courses.

Besides in the academic area, my other strengths includes being able to empathise with others. When my peers are struggling in silence, I am able to imagine what they are feeling or going through, and always lend a helping hand. Along with empathy, independence is another quality I have. I am able to react quickly and sensibly in a stressful environment alone.

In summary, my motto is 'There's no reason to do anything, but there's also no reason to not do anything. So just go do it'

im ashley

i am very motivated to be rich in the future so i am going to work super hard. in order to fund my ideal life in the future, i am going to need a huge amount of money and i am willing to put in a lot of hard work. from the above, i can confidently say i am a highly motivated, determined person.

in my journey to earning a boatload of money, i have been through many experiences, good and bad. one of my proudest moments was passing my math because i would be one step closer to getting good enough grades to give myself better options in the future. this was of course only achieved because of the setback i faced, failing math. failing math made me motivated to pass math.

in the future i see myself being rich and successful. in conclusion, money does not fall from the sky, sadly, so i have to work hard for it.

Good morning/afternoon, my name is Julian.

I am a student in Bowen Secondary School as well as a band student. My experience in the Bowen Military Band has taught me how to be a capable leader. I have attended numerous leadership courses such as the Wind Band Association Singapore (WBAS) leadership course and have reaped the fruits of labour after attending their 3 day course and have learnt how to lead and inspire.

My strengths include being able to lead and communicate with others so that the people that I am working with are able to work towards a common or different goals. Another one of my strengths is being resilient

One experience that validates the values that i have is NDP performance that I performed in, has taught me resilience after the endless days under the hot sun we put up the performance for the whole nation. Another experience is being the Section Leader of the horns section in the band that has made me into a better leader as i could experience being a leader and use my communication skills to bring the section together.

Hi there! My name is Yew Ping.

If I have to describe myself using my 3 values, I would describe myself as  "Respectful, Responsible and Honest". For example, there was once where my close friend was cheating in an exam and i was debating with myself if I should report him to the teacher and after giving it some thought, i decided to do the right thing and inform the teacher.

My passion is playing basketball and i enjoyed playing basketball since young. And ive been playing it for one year now and in this one year, ive became the best player in Singapore.

My achievements includes top 1% in Singapore for results and winning championships in every sports every year.

I live by my motto " I believe, therefore i am".

Hi there! my name is Fraser.

As a fellow captain of the basketball team, the hardship of trainings and workouts have given me the skills I need to overcome rigorous challenges and communication the solution to my fellow teammates so that set plays that might normally be overwhelming for them to understand is easily processed.

My strengths include standing up as a leader when things go south and serving as a pillar of support so that they can venture on and make smarter decisions in not just the area of basketball but also other areas such as academics.

One experience that validates the work I do is that which I had with a teammate, Andre, whom i had as a mentee for basketball. When i first met him, he was timid and unwilling to learn the art of basketball. After an ample amount of time with him, he was able to master the fundementals of the sport and apply the skills i taught him in competitions and trainings. He was able to achieve a significant improvement in terms of his capabilities, from being a third string bench player to a first string starter. My motto is "Everyone gives effort, only Hard work can seperate us."

Hello! My name is Mah Jun Wai. I am a student from Bowen Secondary School from class 4 Opal.

Academically, I have a few achievements, such as competing in the Physics and Mathematics Olympiads. I have also achieved the Edusave Scholarship award in Secondary 3, which is awarded to those that achieved the top 10% in their school. In class, I am usually one of the top few students when it comes to achieving good grades for both Mathematics and Sciences.
However, this was not the case for my first 2 years as a secondary school student. I was not fairing well in my studies and failed a lot of my tests. In Secondary 3, I decided that enough was enough and that I had to work harder if I wanted to achieve my ideal grades. I started paying more attention during class by changing my sleeping habits first. I actively took down notes when the teachers went through the lessons and my grades improved exponentially. In the first term, I already attained 4 A grades out of 7 of my subjects. This was the motivation that I needed and I continued working hard throughout the year, which then lead me to achieve the Edusave Scholarship Award.

My co-curricular activity (CCA) is Football. Football has taught me to be a team player and an individual achiever. The sport requires teamwork and also an individual's abilities on the pitch. It has taught me to persevere and not flail when it gets tough during training and matches.

In summary, my motto is "Your potential to succeed is infinite, never give up!"

hi there! My name is Damien.

My 4 years of influence and playing sports , more specifically football has taught me how to be a resilient, approachable and know how to coordinate a team. Playing with a team, I need to know how to handle pressure, know my peers well and how to communicate to get the win in games. I am strong in coordinating systems, and knowing how to communicate with people to get he job done.

One experience is that me and my friends had the chance to play in football competition. at first we conceded 2 goals early as we were uncoordinated and did not know how to break our opponents down. however, someone had top take charge so i decided to step up. by giving out instructions and telling my teammates where to go and where my pass the ball, in the end we scored an early goal and 2 late goals to win the game 3-2.

as i am interested in a business course in polytechnic, i think that is is essential to kn ow how to communicate with people and know how to be approachable.

Hi there! My name is Henry.

Hello! My name is Shay.

Growing up, I was always obsessed with only two things in my life, football and planes. Everything in my life evolves around it. Being a footballer was my dream when young but when you are in Singapore, it is quite difficult to become one. Thus i decided to explore my other passion for planes and travelling around the world, in other words, being a pilot. Travelling with my family would always be my highlight of the year. Many of my uncles are also pilots and I would often immerse myself into their stories and experiences that they often would share about the process of becoming a pilot and the actual flying itself. Some stories, especially when in the air sounds scary but it also excites me as i love a challenge. These stories further amplified my interests in becoming a pilot and ever since then i was engrossed with any information about planes or becoming a pilot.

My strengths include being able to stay calm under pressure and make decisions in critical moments. I was the captain of my school football team and there were many times where our team was losing and they depended on me to guide them and tell them what to do. So as a captain it was my responsibility to keep their spirits high and make certain decisions when our usual tactics was not working. Therefore there was a lot of pressure on me to make those decisions. At first it was overwhelming but the more games i played the more comfortable i became with those type of situations. Thus i can apply these strengths when flying a plane. For example if something went wrong I would need to make quick decisions in order to save the lives of the people in the plane and thus with further training and my strengths, I think i will make a good pilot.
I will like to end of with a quote that got me through tough times and helped me get to where i am today. " I didn't come this far, to only come this far"

Hi there! My name is Ethan Chan.

I am a student in Bowen Secondary School and I love to play badminton as it is a fun sport and it taught me many values. For example, resilience and discipline. I need to have discipline as badminton requires a lot of time to practise just like any other sport, and I have to juggle both studies and sports at the same time. Hence, I have to have discipline as every second is precious as I have a busy school schedule. I also learnt resilience as a badminton match can last as long as 1.5-2 hours, which can be tiring for the mind, causing one to lose concentration and give up gradually.

I have played badminton for 4 years and I have always represented my schools for competitions every year.I have also recently achieved top 4 in the north zone with my team in 2021.

Hi My name is Hezekiah

My time in Bowen has taught me many things. One aspect that has allowed to truly grow is the fact I was appointed as DyCSM of my CCA. I had to learn how to communicate with my juniors in order for them to be able to understand what I needed them to do. I also had many times where I had to finish up unfinished work and it really taught me the importance of time management.

MY motto is work will pay off, sooner or later

Hello there, my name is Junwen.

I am currently a Secondary 4 student in Bowen Secondary School. I belive that teamwork, resilience and excellence are all very important values. I have taken up several leadership roles while studying in BWSS such as Tech Champion, the English Representative for my class and  i am also the Head of Department for logistics in my CCA which is the Bowen Military Band. Hence i was able to teach both my peers and juniors my values and beliefs. I do so by communicating with my teammates and working well together with them to accomplish a myriad of tasks.

My strengths include my knowledge about computers and technology in general, being outgoing and I am also very helpful and empathatic.

One experience that validates the work that I do is that which I had  during one of my band practices. I had to work together with  my band-mates and peers to help setup the field for marching as the cca is a marching band, this allows me to teach my peers about working together  as a team so as to achieve a common goal.

In summary, my motto is " I believe there for I am."

Hi there! My name is Iris. I have 4 years of experience of dance, being in a dance CCA and also regularly training myself by learning new dances has tremendously improved my dancing skills.

In my 15 years of living, I have experienced many ups and downs in life. One of my setbacks is that I stopped ballet, even though I've been learning it for 7 years. But after I joined modern dance cca in school, I was given the second chance to rediscover myself and improve from before. Learning new skills and rekindling the passion I had for dance. I was very regretful about the decision I made in the past, but as I was given this opportunity to try again, I am much more happier with the choice that I made. In addition, after joining this cca, I was able to participate in the 2021 Singapore Youth Festival for dance, and even got to clench a distinction for the performance.

Hello there! My name is Kartik and I have been a student for most of my life. I mean I am only 16.

Being a student has helped me in many ways. I have built up my core values and even learnt how to sit in a place for almost 4 hours some of my friends sit there and "meditate" there for 4 hours. Jokes apart I really have gained a lot of knowledge from my various teachers.

My strengths are my communication with people and my core values which include Empathy, Resilience and Responsibility these help me in my role as a Peer Support Leader in my class and also as a CCA Leader. Also another important value I have is Humanity, just to be clear this is not the highest quality a human should have it is a basic quality. which is to care for fellow humans.

one experience of mine that shows this is a time when i was a sec 1 student completely new to secondary school and my teachers appointed me as the vice chairman i was having a lot of difficulty coping up with my studies and my responsibility as a vice chairperson but I was resilient and passed all my subjects with flying colours.

My motto is If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

Hello! My name is Adawiyah

One of the people I consider as a good influence in my life is my sister. I look up to her when it comes to making life decisions because she is much more mature and knowledgeable than me. In fact, I joined Malay Dance as a CCA because I wanted to follow her footsteps, and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

To date, I have been in Malay dance for almost 10 years, ever since I was in Primary 1. Through the CCA, I discovered some of my strengths. Empathy and care is one of the examples. As an experienced dancer, I would help out others who require help in learning the dance and put myself in their shoes in order to help them understand the dance steps well. Apart from those, I also learnt how to be a better leader due to my appointment as a CCA leader. I realised the importance of balancing fun and strictness to lead a group well. People may not listen when I am too relaxed, neither will they like it if I am too strict. I hope that these qualities will be able to help me and others now or in near future

In summary, my motto is 'not to limit yourself'. Continue doing your best in everything that you do :)

Hi there! My name is Jagan.

A current 'O' Level student in Bowen Secondary School, I always like to say that " Do unto other what you want other to do unto you". Meaning to say , treat others with respect and dignity and they will treat you similarly. Often described as a people's person , I like to think that my strength lies in communication and forming deep, rich and fulfilling relationships with others rather than in the academics. A natural when it comes to team projects, I am able to quickly adapt to any work environment and get work done efficiently thanks to my impressive leadership skills which I have gained from being the Euphonium Section Leader in Bowen's very own Military Band. As a leader, I have learnt the values of being a exemplary role model while also being relatable to others.

Hi there! My name is Ms. Deborah.

My 10 years of experience as a SAT and ACT, English writing and Math coach has given me the skills I need to breakdown difficult concepts and communicate them to students so that subjects which might normally be overwhelming or difficult for them to grasp is understandable and easy to work through.

My strengths include motivating students and empowering them so they can decide what is important to them and make concrete plans to work towards their academic goals.

One experience that validates the work I do is that which I had with a student, Anne, whom I tutored in Mathematics. When I first met her she was not confident in math and was consistently failing. After three months of work with her, she was able to grasp key concepts and apply her conceptual understanding in her math tests. She was thus able to achieve significant improvements in her grades, getting A and Bs instead of Fs. She also was able to change her mindset and attitude towards Math. Whereas she had previously felt like she was “hopeless” in math, she transformed into someone who felt competent and confident in the subject.
In summary, my motto is “You can do it, if you believe it, and work towards it”

Good morning! My name is Lai Xue Yi.

In my 4 years in Bowen Secondary School, my mathematics and sciences grade are always scoring a distinction. In my 4th year in Bowen Secondary School, I am the vice-class chairperson. I have gone through many Leadership course and have the ability to lead my class to be the best class of the year.

My strength includes being positive, adaptable, responsible. By being positive, i can cheer up the class when they are very stressed by their studies so that they can feel more relieved and work better towards their academic goals. When there are some sudden situation that happen in class, i am able to quickly adapt to the situation and make good decisions for the class.

One experience that validates my leadership ability is that i am a logistic manager in my CCA. There was a period of time where our CCA is changing venue so the equipment needs to be transported to another place of the school. My CCA teacher has talked to my peers and juniors about the moving of equipment and asked for volunteers but none volunteered. Therefore, i have the job to convince them to stay back after sports days to move the equipment. Through the communications skills i learn from the leadership workshops, i was able to convince enough members to help move the equipment and we even finished it 15 minutes from what i expected.

In summary, my motto is "aim for the moon,even if you miss,you will land on the stars."
