Shannon – Purpose, Character and All-round Excellence with PMC
A remarkable student from Nanyang Girl’s High School, Shannon and her parents shares about balancing her academic pursuits with her passion for the Er Hu and contributing to meaningful community service.
Shannon, you’ve accomplished a lot at your age! Can you tell us about some of the things you’ve been working on outside of your academics?
Shannon: “Sure! I’ve been playing the Er Hu since I was nine, and I’m proud to have achieved a Grade 8 certificate. Besides music, I’ve also been involved in the MOE Human & Social Science Research Programme (HSSRP) with a classmate. After a year of hard work, our research will soon be published on the MOE website. In my free time, I also volunteer in healthcare for the elderly. It’s something that grounds me and gives me perspective outside of school.”
Balancing all these must be tough. How do you manage it all?
Shannon: “Time management is key. I always remind myself to plan efficiently because with school, tuition, and my extracurriculars, there’s a lot to juggle but the growth and learning from it is well worth it.”
So, how has PMC helped you excel outside of academics, in your CCA and personal growth?
Shannon: “The curiosity PMC cultivated in me really translates into other parts of my life. I find myself more engaged and eager to learn in other subjects and applying what I learnt to daily life. It’s fun to approach learning this way.
PMC didn’t just teach me to memorize concepts — the classes help us apply to real-life examples, which makes Chemistry click. It’s made the subject much easier to understand and retain knowledge.”
What initially made you choose PMC for your Chemistry tuition?
Shannon’s Parents: “We heard about Mr. Jacob through Shannon’s primary school friend, Karis. Karis’ mom shared how much Mr. Jacob helped Karis excel in Chemistry, even topping her class. That strong recommendation encouraged us to enrol Shannon at PMC.”
How has your understanding of Chemistry improved since joining PMC?
Shannon: “Before PMC, I was really worried about every Chemistry test and exam. But after joining Mr. Jacob’s class, my interest and confidence in the subject grew a lot. I was thrilled that I managed to top my class in Chemistry for my most recent WA3!
That’s fantastic! Can you share a moment where you noticed a change in your approach or confidence with Chemistry?
Shannon’s Parent: “Shannon has always been diligent, but now with PMC’s preparation, she goes into her Chemistry papers fully prepared and motivated. One time, Shannon even said that she couldn’t let Mr. Jacob down. This shows how much she values his teaching.
We would absolutely recommend PMC to anyone who needs Chemistry help. Shannon has grown to love the subject, and Mr. Jacob has been a huge part of that.”
As a woman of character and purpose, Shannon exemplifies resilience and dedication in all her pursuits. Her inspiring journey illustrates how PMC encourages students to embrace challenges, achieve their academic goals, and be a positive change maker in every aspect of life.
