Pressure In Exams - Jessie Abbygil

Exams are a dread to students. Meanwhile, it is a word of celebration for teachers. What is an exam, you say? Well, an exam is when students get tested theoretically and maybe practically. Don't you think it sounds kind of easy? Well, it is not. The exam week is when students keep studying and stressing out. This is because the marks on the test paper are what is used to judge them. That is why students get stressed out and feel like they have to put their lives on the line.

Do you know where they get the pressure from? The pressure could be from their teachers or parents. They expect a lot from you and their intentions are good, actually, but, sometimes, it can go a little overboard. When you hear that they expect you to get the grades they wanted, it feels like there is suddenly weight on your shoulders. You want to please them and do not want to be a big failure or disappointment to them. While you keep pleasing them, you might also lose hope in yourself. That is kind of sad when what you once believed will make you happy becomes something impossible to do.

The second place that they get pressure from is themselves. You might get envious of your friend’s marks and want to do better, so you keep pushing yourself to be the best among the best. While pushing yourself, you could feel stressed or easily irritated if you did not get the results you wanted. That is when some students think that there is no hope and fall into depression. They may feel that, no matter how hard they have studied, their marks would not go up. This is the mindset that society has put in us. It is so heart-breaking to read the news about a teen or student committing suicide over a grade or the pressure they were feeling.

You know what would be great? To stop all of this from happening. To spread the word that it is okay to fail, because it gives us room to grow. Also, a mere grade cannot fully measure what you do or your attitude. Never be afraid to fail and always do your best. Sometimes, things may not go your way and that is okay. You are awesome and what you do is the best.

In conclusion, say something nice to people and do not judge them by their grade. You never know what they have been through. It is okay to take a break and okay to have your own opinions.

Playing Tennis In The USA - Hii Shieng Wee

Hi guys, I'm Hii. I come from Sibu, but now I'm studying at SMK Tabuan Jaya. Going to a foreign country has always been my dream because I wanted to see the outside world and feel the difference between other countries and my own. The story started from June 2019 when I received an invitation to enroll in SMK Tabuan Jaya from my Kuching-coach Stevie Din. Because of my work hard and respect, Coach Stevie helped me get into a program to go to Florida in the United States. When he told me this news, I felt very incredible and excited because I could realize my dream. In August, my Sibu-coach took me to Florida, because I was still a minor and too young to go abroad alone. Our flight started with my hometown in Sibu to KLIA1 to Hong Kong to Los Angeles and finally to Florida. When we arrived in Hong Kong, we had 5 more hours to go until our connecting flight, so we ate at the Hong Kong airport. After that, we went to Los Angeles. When we arrived in Los Angeles, we still had a fligh...

Life - Adriana Ingram

Every one of us needs to move on. As the saying goes, “life must go on.” Some of us even have suicidal thoughts, but there must be one thing that keep us from doing it. It could be our family, or someone that we love. A lot of teenagers get depressed, just like one of my friends. She was only 12 years old and she had a lot of problems. They were caused by her family and school. I felt sorry for her. Sometimes I sit on my bed on a rainy day and ask myself, “what is the point of me living in this world?”, “why am I here?”, “does my friend like me?” I would repeat these questions in my head for hours and hours. But then I remembered my parents! My family! That is the reason for me to live. Besides that, everybody has their biggest fears. Do you know what is my biggest fear? My fear is being in a plane crash and also a monster might be hiding under my bed. Well, that is just my imagination. I want all of us, the young generation, to move on, go forward and never ever look back. There are a...

A Part-Time Job I Want - Audrea Flennysha Jackie

For the upcoming school holiday, I have decided to take on a part time-job while waiting for my SPM result. I choose to be a baker and I want to work at Taka's bakery shop that is not far from my neighborhood. Very few people want to be bakers and have a part time-job there because they love eating, not baking. Another reason why I choose this job is I love baking. Since the job is not a struggle, I can learn more about baking during my shifts which are 9 to 10 hours each. For me, baking truly keeps me fulfilled, free, and energized. As the bakery is near my home, getting there will not take an hour or have traffic congestion problems. Being next to Farley Mall, some customers stop by the cake shop after they have finished shopping at the mall. In conclusion, I hope that many customers will come to the bakery to buy some cakes for their loved ones. Delicious food can make people happy. Through this part time-job, I can save up my income for a rainy day. ---------- Audrea Flennysha ...
