Turning Point Of My Life

            Have you feel the disappointment when you did not achieve what you have aim although you had put in your full effort? On 21 of March, the day that every SPM students of 2011 will obtain their results. In this particular day, I had change and become a different person, a better person.

            This start with the day before the results is announced, sound of packing bag can be heard in every room in my hostel. Everyone are ready to go back to their hometown to get their SPM results. I am also one of them that is going back that night. Before that, I feel excited more than worries, but as time pass, I can feel my heart is getting more nervous.

After packing my stuff, I went for dinner with my roommate at Tronoh before I go to the bus station. We had arrived to the bus station earlier because I am worry that I will miss the bus to go back since it’s the last bus back to Selangor. Unfortunately, that the bus had delay for 1 hour. During that hour in the bus station, I had recalled back the time that I had been working so hard for my SPM examination. I was hoping to achieve good results so I have the chance to enter a good university. My heart feels more nervous as time pass by because the people that are waiting for the bus in the station keep increasing and most of them are UTP students. Some of them looks very nervous like me, some of them look very confident. When the time that the bus reaches the station, everyone get in the bus as fast as possible to prevent the time to be late again. When everyone is ready, we start our journey back to Selangor that will take 3 hours to reach. Throughout the journey, I couldn’t sleep well because I am feeling with fear and worries. With the bad feeling, I had reached home safely in 3 hours.

            When the clock on the wall strikes 10 am in the morning, my parents had brought me to school to take my SPM results. I was so surprise to see most of the students reach school earlier than me. When the school announce that we were be receiving our results in the hall, everyone rush in to the hall included me. We had to listen to the speech of the teacher before receiving the results and everyone in worrying than listening to the speech. During the time of receiving our results, some are jumping and shouting because they had obtained good results, some walked away quietly. I stunned for a moment when I receive my results slip. Suddenly, I feel the pain and disappointment in my heart because I had only achieved 8’A. The first thing that comes to my mind is “I cannot apply for PETRONAS Scholarship”.

            I feel so down and sad on that day, that I dun feel the joy and excitement even when the teacher and friends congratulate me. I feel more guilty and disappointed when I knew that my friends in UTP achieve 10A for their SPM. I also feel so touched and lucky to have such a over consider parents. They wanted to bring me for dinner to celebrate my achievement, but I had rejected it. Instead of celebrating, I went to buy the ticket back to UTP for the next morning.

            A small piece of paper that can make one to be extremely happy and sad had made me to decide to do better in my foundation studies in UTP. I had also Promise my parents that I will get better results in my studies here by cutting down entertainment time.
