The biggest challenge in my life !~

The biggest challenge in my life is to get through my SPM examination with good grades. Little did I know that the form five Sijil Pendidikan Malaysia or SPM examination is so important to me. Ever since I have extend secondary school, I have been repeatedly told and reminded by my teachers and by my family that SPM examination is very important, as it is the stepping stone in my career and my future. But as usual, students like me have taken this matter lightly because we cannot see the future yet.

Many students can fairly get through the SPM examination, but how many of us will be able to get through with flying colour is another question. Why is it so important to do well at SPM lever? It is simply because it is a getaway to futher education and higher education. Strange enough SPM qualification itself does carry weight. A person with SPM qualification only get to be employed as a clerk, and maybe paid a salary of RM700.00 at the most. But having a good SPM certificate can ensure many others attention. Students with good grades are often offered scholarships for futher studies by local and foreign institutions of higher learning. This I see as a great motivation as I do not have to burden my parents unnecessarily. Moreover, those with good grades are also exempted from sitting for foundation courses in some programes. This is good because I can save cost and time in pursuing my ambition that is to be a IT programmer.

Those students who do well in SPM are also give priority to get into Form Six or the preuniversity classes which are conducted in some schools. The cost is low and affordable for students and parents. Those who want to do their preuniversity in a private college because their SPM results are not good enough to be absorbed into government schools, have to pay high fees. With a good certificate, students can also do their A levels which could take them for an oversea education in United Kingdom, Australia or even America. Thses countries have an excellent tertiary educational programme which uses SPM results as their yardstick to take in Malaysian students.

Therefore, I think the biggest challenge in my life is the SPM. It is the deciding point that makes or breaks my future n career. So my advise to all my friends out there, take the challenge and excel it !
