Like everyone else, I , too love my country. Why am I leaving my country and my people, if I love them so much? I am not a hypocrite who talks about patriotism and love of country, but leaves the country at the earliest opportunity. The reasons that compel me to leave my country are that I want to make a good life by pursuing higher studies in other country and by finding a suitable job that will help me get out of our financial difficulties. It is with good difficulty, perseverance and persistence that I have been able to manage to get a scholarships to go to other country for my higher studies. I cannot miss this opportunity. But tomorrow, will be the day of my departure from my country, and my heart experiences pangs of sorrow. This is because I am sure that I am going to be nostalgic about my country during my stay abroad. I love my country so much. Moreover, I am going to miss my friends, my neighbourhood and all that makes my country unique.
Another fact that fills me with grief is the seperation of my family, my parents, brothers and sisters, friends and relatives. We are a closeknif family, we love one another very much. My friends and relatives have always been helpful to me. I am going to leave them all tomorrow.
By going abroad I am leaving familiar sights and sounds, faces and places for everything unfamiliar. I have only a picture in my mind about the place I am going to. I have no friends and relatives there. I am not familiar with the culture of the people there. Here, in my own country, I am fine to a way of life in which I am quite comfortable. This fact about the place, people and culture fills me with anxiety and fear. Tomorrow, I will be going to a country where I will meet unfamiliar faces.
There are moments when I am torn between conflicting emotions. Sometimes, I feel that the decision to go abroad to pursue higher studies has been a hasty and wrong one; at other times, I am filled with joy thinking that I have got the momentous opportunity in my life to carve out a future for my self. However, the thought that nothing can be achieved without making sacrifices relieves me of my mental conflict. There is also the consoling thought that my stay abroad will enrich my life and that when I return to my own country after years of study and training. I will be better equipped to serve my country and my people. So tomorrow is the day that is going to lead me to a path of success.
Tomorrow and many tomorrow to come will change my life mentally and physically in order to return to my country and serve my people for my own happiness and contentment and also for the greater glory of my country. Conclusion, tomorrow will never end . =)

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 !
