Imperials 15/17

I dedicate this writing to my dearest juniors in KMS, batch 15/17 both A-Levels and IB Imperials. :)

We have always been given a choice. Have you tasted failure? Well, everybody experiences failure at least once in their lifetime. Question is, what is our decision afterwards? Worrying about it over and over again wouldn’t bring us anywhere. Yes, it’s devastating. No one said it was easy, but everyone kept on saying it was hard and difficult. Now, that’s the problem. Saying something is difficult often is not healthy.

“Why did I choose to do A-Levels? Why did I choose to do IB?”

Past is past. Decision has been made. You were forced to take SPM but most probably you weren’t forced to go to KMS. You knew that it was going to be hard but that’s your choice, right? We signed up for this! Always be optimistic in everything that you do because positivity leads to healthy mind and soul. You can’t work with a weak mind. It’s our choice to go to KMS, so we must defend ourselves and prove to OURSELVES that we made the right decision. Forget about other people. Stressing about other people’s expectations isn’t really necessary. Sometimes, we need to think about ourselves first. Will I be happy if I fail again? Of course not. Now, what are we going to do after getting a failure? Crying over what I say is a past; or moving on and do better? Everything happens for a reason. What did we learn from our failure? Couldn’t find one? Search for it. The choice is always in our hands.

I personally wasn’t a great student myself during my years in KMS. I had never been listed for Honour Roll award. I came from a school which wasn’t really on par with my friends that came from prestigious schools. I didn’t get straight A’s for my SPM either. I always felt intimidated by these brilliant people. In the end, it’s all about me making a choice. I chose to look at it as a motivation and that kept me going and going. Believe in yourself. Always, believe in yourself because that’s what driving people to move forward. There’s still time so don’t waste it any longer! Get up and work hard for what you want. Get help if you can’t do it alone. Congrats to you if you managed to do well up till now. The feelings that you get when you achieve success are always way sweeter when you celebrate it together with your friends. Therefore, help each other. Don’t let anyone to go astray and be left behind.  Last but not least, I wish you, all the best for everything that you do in the future and good luck for your exams!
