Narrative Essay
Memorable Day
to be Remembered
Have you ever felt more nervous than awaiting your SPM results ?March
21,2012-the day of finally receiving my SPM results ,which I have worked so
hard for.It’s now the 20 th March, the day before the date of
declaration 2011 SPM results, UTP students who are the 2011 SPM candidates ,were
given the privilege to head back to their respective hometowns to receive their
results.A variety of components made my going back journey an unforgettable and
memorable one such as mixed emotions ,self high expectations and parents' hopes .
A mixture of emotions were in me as I awaited the day. When
the day was coming nearer ,I lived in nervous .Almost every night, I had
trouble in sleeping as before sleeping I would think and imagine what would be happened
on that day. Every night, I prayed and hope that God could blessed me .On
evening 20th,I had to return home by bus. It was quite a scary time for me as
it was my first time going back alone by bus. The situation was worse because I
have to transferred the bus at least 3 times in order to reach my hometown,
Sungai Petani in Kedah .It was dark and raining .From UTP to Medan Gopeng Bus
Station ,from there to Nibong Terbau Bus Station, then to Butterworth and finally reached Sungai Petani .What a adventurous
journey !It took 8 hours .Throughout the whole journey ,I even shivered ,wondering
whether there was still bus, where should I go if I missed the latest bus and
,of course , what results would I get tomorrow .
Besides
,my parents had high expectations on me .They
expected the very best since I was among the brightest student in my school. With
all that, there was too much pressure on me. I had completed 11 subjects for
SPM and hoped for the very best. I had undergone long hours of studying ,day
and night .Time and tide waits for no man. I not even had time to practise favourite
badminton as I had to focus in my studies.
Furthermore ,I too had many hopes and
expectations to myself . I always imagined that I was among the the top scorers
in Malaysia .I hoped that I can get any scholarship ,using my outstanding
results , to further my tertiary education in the top universities such as
Harvard University ,Oxford University
and Yale University .I too hoped that I can become a successful engineer in
future .
9.45a.m in the morning of 21th ,finally
arrived my previous school .Friends had already gathered, eagerly waiting the
time the results to be declared . A teacher took a list of results with the
well-scored students' name to the stage ,preparing to announce the results .All
of us were very nervous and we held our hands together.' Now, here are the names
of students who scored 11As , Arifah bt Anuar , Philips Ang,...............,.Lim
Jia Yen ...',"Yahooooooooo!!"I shouted ,with my loudest voice, when I heard my name
was announced ,I ran and jumped up to the stage ,took the exam results slip
from our previous principal proudly .All
my juniors looking at me admiringly .Teachers and friends congratulated
me.
The day
the SPM results declared is the happiest day for me .What I expected has came
true .However ,there is still a higher level education waiting for me. I keep reminding myself, I
should not gratify too easy ,it is still a long journey for me in life. I
should put more efforts in order to succeed .I deeply believe ,'nothing venture
,nothing gain'.
