Yr 11 -> Yr12 -> Uni -> Successful job -> BLING BLING
Although it's not all for the money, it's always good to gain more knowledge. There's no point just giving up after yr10, and not go into yr11 onwards. You can never learn enough =].

Haha yeh I continued on because there are more opportunities through university, be with mates, to learn more, to enjoy education.
Yeh, we all need money, but we shouldn't necessarily concentrate entirely on it...obviously

If you want to take it to the bank, contact one of the Administrators to add the poll option "because i'm asian", OK KTHNX I DONT NOES WATS THE EXACT VALUE OF COS 87

Yes I asked for the exact value of cos 87, like sin90=1 and cos60=1/2 ... but could you get the exact value of cos 87 ?
Do all asians know the exact value of cos 87 ?

I am serious, not everyone regardless of nationality is intelligent.
A majority of asians may be hard-working and clever but there may be a select handful who aren't up to that level.

Click on a profile of a HSC 2007er ... He/she may have English Advanced and 3 Unit Mathematics and is sailing smoothly, what about me ?

There are tons of asians my age who blitz Mathematics Extension 1 while I struggle like a limping dog ... Get the point ?

I think you're taking that comment a teeny bit too seriously. Besides, is there such thing as cos 87 exact? Oh well, who cares.

Why even bother calculating cos 87 ?
Youre right, I am taking things too seriously ...
I need a real break, a camp does not count as one.
After camp, I have an exam and an asessment ... bleurgh !

I am asian, i stated my first comment because in my situation regardless of academic performance, all asians i know complete their HSC.

Main reason: parental expectations.

I didnt imply that they do it because theyre stereotypically smart (in maths and the alike). Even though i may be one of those that are doing well in ext maths and will be doing ext2 in a term, I see alot my friends struggle through the stuff i find quite easy.

Its my limits that prevent me from going further ..
There are three types of Asians

Gaming Asians
Study Asians
Study & Gaming Asians

I do often find the third option quite common, but however it is difficult for me to balance gaming and studying ...
Counter-Strike is enough, if I play ANY other game, my marks completely fall off ...
2 Unit Mathematics and Physics now is becoming harder to understand to make matters worse ... no wonder why a few students dropped Year 11 ...

Regarding Maths, there are a lot more asians in a 2 Unit Mathematics class than a General Mathematics class ... It is some sort of "stereotypically smart" capability as you would put it. I, however don't, or possess little ...

Why here is one brave individual who admits to being one of those who are not necessarily the best, but you do put in some degree of effort, dont you ? Hopefully you do ..
