Final Exam...


A day that I could not forget in my entire life that was the day I took my final exam. It was an important exam which decides on my future that is government tests “Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia” (SPM). After 12 years of studying this final examination would be the most important for my entire school years. This is my first day of exam. I entered the room at nine forty five.  I could sense the activity that had taken place in the room, knowing that I will have to put my skills to pass this stage. The officer pointed at my seat, as I walked towards my seat, the adrenaline in my body was building and my face portrayed the image of fear. I had been waiting for this encounter for a year, and soon it would be right in front of my eyes. As the exam papers were handed out, an urge of sickness filled in my stomach. The day had come, where I had to come face to face with my enemy. This was not just a test of my knowledge but an indication of my future. The room was enclosed with walls indicating that there was no way out, the scent of the room smelled lavender. After distributing the question sheets, the exam boards clear instructions were read out, one little peak to the side to glance at a fellow student, or their work would result in the exclusion of my paper also taking my career. The clock was moving fast. Without prior notice, the examination officer vocalized that the exam had started. I looked upon the first question.
 I felt more confident. I checked my solutions several times, as I was checking, a song came to my mind, and I was distracted by the love of music. It reminded me at the fact that the whole exam was about rhythm which would keep me answering question after question. My composure grew better as time grew due to this mischievous idea. I was by now half way through my exam paper and the clock was ticking, my heart sunk, I didn't want to make a mistake at this point of life because it would give a huge impact on my entire future. All the best wishes roused in my mind and I hope I can give my best for the exam and my future.
