Decisions
in life are usually tough and hard to make. We feared that we may accidentally
take the wrong path that will lead us to our pitfall. But once you made one or already
had one, you will feel much lighter than before as if you managed to unload the
mighty burden that you beared for years in life. This is what that I am feeling
now. After having my days struggling in search of my future education pathway,
at least I had now finally made clear of myself that I wanted to study
A-Levels. It is still freaking hard for me to choose my future career. This is
because I know that my passion in medicine is not strong enough. I even have
many doubts of myself as I often question how much that I really know of
myself. However, I promise myself that I will define my path once I completed
my A-Level studies.
Yesterday, the results for students
whom managed to get matriculation studies went out. Some of my friends were
overjoyed when they got a seat in one of the 12 matriculation colleges in Malaysia , while
others were pretty disappointed when they learn that their name is not in the
list. The criteria of the distribution of matriculation seats among students
remain a mystery to most Malaysians. Apart from having an outstanding result of
straight A’s and being active in co-curricular activities, most people believe
that one should get A+’s in all the science subjects and additional maths for
science stream students. This causes some students having above average results
whom scored well in their maths and science subjects to outdo straight-A
scholars whom have average results.
This phenomenon is inevitable. It solely depends on one’s
luck. I can’t even imagine how lucky I am! I got both the bursary awards
scholarship and a seat in the matriculation college in Perak state. However, I
had chosen the bursary awards scholarship and decided to reject the offer of
matriculation. What a waste! Many friends of my age are now desperately
struggling for this golden opportunity that is able to secure your future
pathway in one of the prestigious local universities in Malaysia and
hoped that their second time application would be a success. But I just toss it
away without second thought. If I got the chance, I would rather give it to
someone else whom really needs it. But I can't. Hence, I really appreciated this opportunity
gain. I am grateful of what God, fate and destiny have in-stalled for me in my
life. Consequently, I have to be optimistic and try my very best in this life.

I understand what you feel. I did the same thing too even though I was considering matriculation. If I could, I would give that opportunity to my friend :)
Thanks for reading my blog and giving such a wonderful comment, anonymous. The more I think about it, the more I felt that life is really unfair. Some people struggled so much but they eventually can't get what they want, whereas some people can just fool around and then succeeded in getting everything that they want. But what can we do? This is something beyond our control and I think we can only accept it as part of life. We can only wish the best of luck to our friends whom failed their expectations in their coming endeavors. May I know who you are and let us be friends. ^^
