The Most Common Challenges That Students Face - Chris Emannnuel Rentap

Hi everyone, I am Chris, a form 5 student from 5 Olympic 1 class. In this essay, I am going to write about the most common challenges that we face as students and how to overcome those challenges. As a form 5 student, I face so many challenges. I am going to talk about them based on my 5-year experience.

First of all, excellence in studying is the biggest challenge. Our subjects have become the biggest challenges because they are all so important. In this 21st century, if we do not have any knowledge, we are going nowhere. That is why students face a lot of stress when it comes to studies. As a student, I always ask myself how to deal with academic problems. I have found a new solution for it. The solution is you need to respect your teacher. That is the most important thing. To avoid stress and depression, you need to pay 100% attention to your teacher during class. You can also ask questions to your teacher for anything you do not understand. Then, studying will become easy.

Our second problem will be about relationships between students. It is fun, right? But it is also the biggest challenge for students. For some students, relationships are a great source of love and support. Yes, that is right. But do not forget that they can also be a source of pain and distraction from your vision and mission. It can change your mood. I am not telling all of you that having a relationship is wrong, but I am telling you that you need to know how to deal with your relationship problems. How to deal with it? The answers are based on your own attitude. When you have a bad relationship, note to yourself, stay calm and just focus on your studies. There are also a few more ways such as less overthinking, and more talking to your classmates to find the best ways to solve your problems.

And our last problem is money or financial stability. It is also the biggest challenge for students, especially students that live in the hostel. Students still do not know how to control their spending. Moreover, students constantly find themselves spending their money on things like reload cards, bubble tea and much more. I believe that financial problems can affect our academic performance. So, we need to overcome it. The best way to solve it is by learning how to save money. It is so important. One way to save money is to set saving goals.

Based on my experience, those are the most challenging things that students face. The conclusion is challenges and struggles are a part of students’ lives. It is okay to feel sad and down sometimes, but what matters is how do you get back up again and face those challenges. That is what matters. Actually, challenges make us stronger and better. It is just part of a process. I am hoping that all of the students will be more serious in their studies because that will make them succeed in the future. There is always a rainbow after the rain.

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

Journey of a Lifetime - Erika Vallensia

Life is one word that comes with multiple meanings. It has lots of problems that you need to face every day. Full of ups and downs, it also has many blessings. To some people, life is hard, cruel, and merciless. Those people see life as a punishment throughout their entire lives. Do not worry about it though! All these problems that you are facing make you strong; it gives you courage to stand alone in the future. You all know that life is also full of moments of joy, pleasure, and success. Comfort is punctuated by misery, defeat, failures, and problems. For your information, no human being on earth who is strong, powerful, wise, or rich has not experienced struggle, suffering or failure. Life is full of paths. It is your own decision to choose the right one. You must work hard to get what you really want. Life is as interesting and wonderful as the stars in the sky. Without a doubt, life is beautiful and full of celebration. There are days when I suddenly feel all alone, not belonging

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
