Do you have any what-ifs? One of my biggest what-ifs is: What would have happened if I went to a polytechnic instead of a junior college? I wound up choosing a junior college as I did not have as much information about polytechnics then. And this was my own doing as I did not attend the relevant talks and open houses. So if you, unlike me, would like to avoid having what-ifs, why not consider registering here for the HeadStart@RP Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) talk on Jun.
7, 2024. You’ll not only get a taste of what life is like at Republic Polytechnic (RP) at the talk, but also get useful tips directly from the polytechnic’s principal and chief executive officer on how to secure a spot in a polytechnic with the EAE. While my life could have gone a million different ways if I had gone to a poly, it is, unfortunately, too late to turn back time.
But that does not mean I cannot go to a poly to experience what I had missed out on. I went to Republic Polytechnic (RP) on May 7, 2024 and as luck would have it, graduation was happening so I got to live vicariously as a student and graduate, all on the same day. This explains the palpable excitement in the air.
Graduates were decked out in their robes, surrounded by their loved ones, basking in the afterglow that comes with reaching an important milestone in life. Most, if not all of them, seemed to carry themselves with confidence, possessing a sense of assuredness as they close one chapter in life and begin their next. Image .
