# data[].attributes.body
when it comes to group projects, I'm known to be an organized leader

# data[].attributes.body
I think I am fairly good academically and secure in myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to think into the future.

I'll plan out like weekly what do I do, things I'll do. Then after that, I just plan in advance.

# data[].attributes.body
Academically, I am to pass my exams and become a professional engineer.

# data[].attributes.body
when it comes to group projects, I also like... try to share that kind of plan with everyone so that we can be prepared

# data[].attributes.body
I can code a lot of programming languages

# data[].attributes.body
My long-term goals are for... Are definitely right now, I want to go to uni to specifically the big 3s to study a course that I enjoy

# data[].attributes.body
Disappointments and challenges really keep me going.

# data[].attributes.body
I also want to get married. I want to start a family and live a good life and be rich.

# data[].attributes.body
Depends. It's only exciting if we are exposed to hands on. Rather than sitting in class listening to lectures 99% of our lesson time.

# data[].attributes.body
Projects are very engaging. Requires more than one brain. A good collaboration gives good quality results.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, expectations put forward by my parents. They expect a lot from me and I am pressured to fulfil their expectations and afraid to let them down.

# data[].attributes.body
I am able to study for a long period of time and also memorise easily.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Burned out affects mental health, I was not able to focus as I was heavily overwhelmed and fell into a spiral. This definitely affected my school life and grades

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking positive thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
If I put my mind into something, I have a really competitive spirit. So, as long as I set my mind on it, I can accomplish it, if I have the will to.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Talking to a trusted someone can definitely help

# data[].attributes.body
I wish to finish this diploma and hopefully get into a degree in psychology and complete this course and hopefully get into a career in this field.

# data[].attributes.body
How about having a chill student lounge area with games and breaks between classes?

# data[].attributes.body
It is being mentally stable

# data[].attributes.body
I am good at housekeeping

# data[].attributes.body
My family. they're always such a supportive environment to have. And like they also give me really good advice on how to manage time well.

# data[].attributes.body
10/10. Extremely important as poor mental well-being affects a student’s day to day life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my stamina is not bad

# data[].attributes.body
Competition among peers’ education wise

# data[].attributes.body
I have good ideas maybe

# data[].attributes.body
Sundays right, they're there to always like uhm pull me out to do exercise and stuff, so that I can be a bit more healthy and get out of work for a bit.

(they - her family)

# data[].attributes.body
im like uh optimistic

# data[].attributes.body
No, my school doesn't offer such programs.

# data[].attributes.body
And also my friends lah, my secondary school friends, we're still very close and we'll meet up sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish to contribute back to society because I feel that the society itself has already given me a lot of help when I was younger.

# data[].attributes.body
No. As Singapore is constantly pushing students to be faster and lead. Our living standard is 5 years ahead than most countries

# data[].attributes.body
Urm for academic-wise ah, my long-term goal is to graduate from a local University with a degree in Coding. As for personal-wise, it would be getting BTO.

# data[].attributes.body
Being mindful of students’ feelings and emotions and not shunning them for feeling a certain way

# data[].attributes.body
Not being late. No long term goal, I just wanna get a good GPA

# data[].attributes.body
Making money and providing for my loved ones

# data[].attributes.body
a group project and some of my teammates were not putting in their weight in the work. They were not contributing hard enough.

# data[].attributes.body
To be the best version of myself.

# data[].attributes.body
supportive circle of friends

# data[].attributes.body
My family has compared me and labelled me as the smarter one, so if I do not do well, not just do well, if I don't do exceptionally well, they can look down on me and say you can do better

# data[].attributes.body
it's important to take frequent breaks, even though not so long and not so much

# data[].attributes.body
I last minute studied and I had to cramp a lot of information into my mind the night before and due to this I wasn't able to score as well as I anticipated

# data[].attributes.body
School doesn’t give me excitement, it is interesting but not exciting.

# data[].attributes.body
More interactive tutorials/application instead of just sitting down revision.

# data[].attributes.body
It depends. Sometimes my module is fun leh.

Participatory Art Studio. It's a module where you basically just facilitate. Like we need to facilitate games.

# data[].attributes.body
I see so many Instagram stories of people graduating and here I am in year 2, fearing that I might not be able to graduate with a GPA high enough to enter a local university.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the things that I learn in my course

# data[].attributes.body
Actually today I had a fun guest lecture(ppl from outside will come to school to give talks). We walked around the classrooms instead of just sitting down.

# data[].attributes.body
Because I feel like I signed up for a lot of things, and I don't know whether I'm able to cope with it.

# data[].attributes.body
As a student also, there are expectations that made me feel like giving up then I was just at my bed watching tiktok.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel stressed when my group mates don’t trust me when doing group projects.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the not-fun things is definitely any research projects or whatever. Those things just... I hate research, first of all.

# data[].attributes.body
I am also the vice captain of my cca, the expectations of my role

# data[].attributes.body
So our lesson is basically just playing icebreaker games, which is so fun.

# data[].attributes.body
Fuck no! Cause engineering math is too hard.

# data[].attributes.body
But I like my course because we kind of get opportunities to go to field trips also.

# data[].attributes.body
my sisters kind of stress me out because they're good at everything.

# data[].attributes.body
There is not enough time study. It’s giving me stress because there isn’t enough time for me to review all the studying materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I go for a run or I go to the gym

# data[].attributes.body
treat yourself to something

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely, I have felt overwhelmed before. But to me, it doesn't stop me from doing stuff

# data[].attributes.body
im craving something I will buy it to eat

# data[].attributes.body
every Sunday, I try to go out with my parents and my sisters

# data[].attributes.body
The school should spread out assignment due dates

# data[].attributes.body
I sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
Like I said, I also plan out my stuff, lor.

# data[].attributes.body
We should have a work from home system also.

# data[].attributes.body
You're not stressed.

# data[].attributes.body
being able to cope well with all your stressful events

# data[].attributes.body
Like you can feel stressed but like... In moderation. Not like such that it's controlling your life.

# data[].attributes.body
lesser assignments and more activities.

# data[].attributes.body
be able to learn how to cope with all your... Cognitive dissonance.

# data[].attributes.body
having a good relationship with others

# data[].attributes.body
not being overwhelmed with any extreme and strong emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
So important.

# data[].attributes.body
There is not enough time to prepare.

# data[].attributes.body
There are times I seek help whenever needed

# data[].attributes.body
Peer pressure is real.

# data[].attributes.body
stress to me reduces productivity.

# data[].attributes.body
Academic validation is important to me as an individual

# data[].attributes.body
being able to think properly

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it is important

# data[].attributes.body
If like you're mentally well, you know how to cope with stress, right?

# data[].attributes.body
having a good state of mind

# data[].attributes.body
There are times I find school boring and extremely tiring.

# data[].attributes.body
being happy

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I feel like stress can change the way you think about your uhm work.

# data[].attributes.body
more engaged to the internet so we tend to stick to ourselves

# data[].attributes.body
A part of me feels like social media is a part of this.

# data[].attributes.body
And... I feel like another problem is also... The general... Like it's just a general thing that's happening where parents are comparing grades, children are comparing grades, the world revolves around grades.

# data[].attributes.body
Your own expectation on yourself, which can be... Which can be... Altered because of your influence from social media.

# data[].attributes.body
Very important we need to have a good mental well-being so that you can function properly and cope well.

# data[].attributes.body
and getting into crocheting to help me divert my attention from any negative thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately not

# data[].attributes.body
Okay, I definitely made friends though.
