Describe the biggest challenge in your life

The biggest challenge in my life is to get through my SPM examination with

good grades. Little do I know that the form five Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia or
SPM examination was so important to me. Ever since I have enter secondary
school, I has repeatedly told and remind by my teachers and my family that
SPM exam was very important because it is the step stone into my career
and my future. But as usual, students like me have taken this matter lightly
because we could not see the future yet.
Many students can fairly get through the SPM exam, but how many of us will
be able to get through with fly colour is another question. Why is it so
important to do well at SPM level? It is simple because it is a gate way to
further 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 may be paid a salary of RM500.00 at the most. But
having a good SPM certificate can ensure many other perks.
Students with good grades are often offer scholar ships to further studies in
local or outside country institusi of higher learning. This incentive is be a
great motivation to me as I do not have to disturb my parents unnecessarily.
Moreover, those with good greds are also no need from sit for foundation
courses in some programmes. This is good because I can save money and
time in pursuing my ambition that is to be a biotechnologist.
Those students who do well in SPM are also given priority to get into Form
Six or the pre-university classes which are conducts in some schools. The
cost is less and not expensive for students and parents. Those who want to
do their pre-university in a company college because their SPM results are
not good enough to be absorbed into government schools, have to pay
higher price.
With an excellent SPM result, students can also opt to do their A levels which
could takes them for an outside country education in countries like the
United Kingdom, Australia or even in the United States of America. These
countries have excellent tertiary educational programmes which uses the
SPM results as their yardstick to take in Malaysian students.
Therefore I think the most big hurdle in my life is the SPM. It is the deciding
factor that makes or breaks my future and career. So my advice to all my
comrades out there, take the challenge and excel in your studies.
