My Life As A Student by Mohd Hadi Firdaus bin Mohd Jaafar

My name is Mohd Hadi Firdaus Bin Mohd Jaafar. I was born in 11 April 1989 in Hospital Tanjung Karang, Selangor. I am the first child from four siblings. Now I am in leading strings in Politeknik Kuching Sarawak. Now, I share my life as a student.

When I first time step into school life, I felt, happy, sorrow, and fear. On that day, my mother had accompanied me until the schooling session ended. My mother also gave her advice on how mother how to be an excellent student. She then asked me to sit in front as it is easier to receive knowledge.. After one week, I was able to adapt myself in the school.

I felt excited when approaching secondary school environment. On my registration day, I met my friends in my primary school and my fully residential schools. The first week of schooling is the ‘Orientation Week’. This aimed to know the school organization, motto and school vision chart, activities which operate in a year. The schooling session starts from 7.20a.m until 1.50p.m except in Friday where we end at 12.30p.m, to allow for Friday prayer.

In the year of 2005 (form 4), I was offered to a boarding school, namely SMT Selangor Sungai Buloh. I have mixed feelings. I was grateful to be offered to the boarding school and able to experience new things. On the other hand I felt sad when I had to be apart with my family. However, that was the time where I first learned to be independent. Living in a hostel, I have to do everything on my own varying from washing and folding clothes to ironing them. This experience has made me who I am as I now I know how important it is to be independent.

Currently I am studying in the state of Sarawak, namely Polytechnics Kuching, Sarawak. This is the farthest learning institution from my family. Life as a student here is pretty hard because of no relatives and acquaintances. I am now in my final semester, in Mechanical Engineering (Petroleum). Here, I acquire many new experiences and friends from various states. As a student, I hope to be an excellent student as I knew I should meet my family's expectation in study. I hope in my future I can fulfil my family’s dreams and wishes.

In conclusion life as a student is not easy if. We must strive for independent life to develop ourselves in future. This will help us in facing the life with resilient determination.
