What would you like to say to yourself and to your parents?
Ng Chia Shen: Thank you to my parents for giving me the opportunity to study and for their support. They never objected to whatever I wanted. They have always encouraged me. This is the first step of my career and I will continue to work hard.
Peter Wong Chu Kok: I want to thank my parents as they’ve paid my fees and without them, I could not have come so far here. My parents have supported me in a non-AI duplicated industry. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.
Low Jun Sheng: I thank my parents for the fees. I like the beauty industry. I have changed since I took up this course as I was very unhygienic before. Now I think that I am successful.
Chua Wei Xiang: Thank you to my parents for always supporting me. They didn’t understand much about the beauty industry. The hairdressing industry is a very old industry. My parents encouraged me to go forward.
Anson Chan: My parents encouraged me to do whatever I wanted. My mum is also in this industry, so I was influenced by her. I am very grateful to her.
