Sep 13 2011: I never have because I was too scared to.
I grew up wanting to become a doctor,being inspired by my father. In 8th grade, I failed my science final exam because at that age, I did not exactly take my studies seriously. Belonging to a convent school which had a very strict set of rules which the principal would not dare to bend, I was forced to take commerce. I gave up my passion for a set of rules.
Now that I about to complete my a'levels, I sometimes look back and feel I should have changed schools which I did not since I did not want to leave my friends. At the beginning of a'levels my academic councilor also advised me to take my o'leves again privately but i felt it was too late and that would mean repeating 2 years of my life.
Now that I am about to graduate high school, I envy the science students and wish i was in their place. Even if that meant having to repeat my o'levels.
