My family had connections with the then-principal of St Nicks, so we got into pre-primary, and made it through to Sec 4. I don't believe I was badly done by because I didn't end up at one of the 'elite' schools, and that was sort of the point of my post. Things like that don't matter in the end.

Too bad you were badly done by, for I believe you deserve going into a better jc, like vjc if not rjc or hcjc. Anyway, just want to say you are pretty and cool! Take care and have fun in whatever you do. Sincerely, Samuel Hey,
