NARRATIVE ESSAY

A JOURNEY TOWARDS THE GLORY

 The pain was beating on me like a drum. That was how I can describe the agony of waiting for my SPM examination result just like all of my friends. Here I would like to share what the atmosphere was like when during the journey of going back home to get my result, my feelings and what am I expecting from my result.

My friends and I went back by train. It was like our train as most of the passengers were those who will be taking their result too. What seems to be a long trip was simply a breeze. The two hours ride was like only 20 minutes. The atmosphere was filled with fun which make your smile last for as long as you were on the train. For a moment, the anxiety of taking the SPM result was casted away. Everyone was so occupied by the happiness from the trip as if nothing would happen the next day.

Anxious, nervous, happy, emotional, you describe it, I feel it. Everything was mixed up. I don’t even know how to describe those feelings. It was definitely one of those live or die moment of my life, no doubt about it. The closer the date, the more tense the feeling become. Those around me may see me like plain and emotionless person, but deep inside no one knows. Who on earth would not feel anything upon receiving something that will become the base in shaping their future. Everything definitely relies on that one piece of priceless slip.

What was I expecting at that particular moment is none other than to make my parents proud of their first son who sits for big examination like the SPM, beating both of my sisters’ achievement before. It was all I can give in order to at least make their sacrifice meaningful. It was just plainly to see their son become a person full of glory someday in the future. In addition, I also hope my school will be able to retain its glory as the best school in Malaysia for the seventh time in a row. But still, it was the effort from 249 students in determining whether that hope can be realise or simply stay as fantasy.

In conclusion, it was definitely one of the most unforgettable moments of my life when we going back home to get our result as it was a fun filled ride, with my emotion like a turmoil and for all of us that time, it was our journey towards glory.
