The Day Which Determines The Future

    Have you ever felt a moment when your heart is like jumping out of the chest? I had gone through that moment on last 21st March 2012, when my SPM result was announced on that day. There are a lot of things that bothered me especially my feelings, expectations and surroundings.

    One of the things that bothered me so much on that day was my feelings. At first, I was feeling very excited to go back to my hometown, Kedah from my university, that is Universiti Teknologi Petronas. The reason why I was feeling very excited was that I wanted to meet my friends after such a long time did not met with them after the SPM examination. But in the morning of the 21st March, I started to feel nervous and it was like having butterflies in my stomach. When the results were announced and the names of the students who obtained straight A's were called, I was feeling very happy and grateful because my name was one of those.

    The expectations also bothered my mind especially my own's. my teachers' and my family's. I had my own expectation towards myself and that was of course, tergetting me to get straight A's in my SPM examination. Everybody would expect for that kind of result, right? I was not excluded too. All my teachers also expected me to get good result as I was one of the students that were targetted to get straight A's in the exam. As the last child of the family, my parents and my siblings also hoped that I would achieve excellent result. I was very grateful as my 6A+, 2A, 1A- result satisfied everyone.

    My surrounding on that day also felt different from any other days. When leaving my house to go to my school, my neighbours wished me the best of luck. That made me became more nervous. When I reached my school, the hall was already full with my friends and other students which are my juniors as I was already late. When I entered the hall, I looked my friends' faces were all nervous and scared. I sat on one of the chairs and when it came to the time when the names were announced, everybody were getting more nervous. When my name was called, I was very happy as my result was excellent.

    The day when the SPM results were announced was one of the most frightening day in our lives and everybody should be prepared physically and mentally to face that day.
