I googled ‘student’ and there are so many definitions of student . Some has ridiculous meaning but the rest are acceptable . The way I see it , student is an apprentice of something or the simplest is a beginner . I do not specifically define it because different people have different views .
When I was in high school , I have been reminded again and again to study hard and not to waste time . I got sick of it actually . In fact , I am excited to turn 18 because I thought it might be an official age to get freedom . I am laughing right now because I do not know the meaning of freedom but yet I am still chasing it eventhough I am now 18 .
So hello 18 year old Shahira :) I was studying in a technical school somewhere in Kuala Klawang when I was 16 years old . I hated it during my first year but things turn out to be different when I got use it . My SPM year was stressful . I had to ignore my social life and got rid of all those irresistable entertainment for the sake of studying . Myspace was prominent during my high school year . All of my friends had been updating their busy routines on their profile . So I guess all those hardwork and ignorance worth to be sacrificed . My dad never fails to be my motivater and he always say that success does not comes rolling stone , you have to fight for it ! Yeah dad , my battle with SPM is over now and I am satisfied .
Then there is university life . Yes , I am still a student . I am taking foundation in accounting . It is something that I assume I am good at . My dad used to say that my career will work if my heart belongs to it . Well dad , it would be 2 pages of long lists if I would to mention all of my interests . Not that I do not have a dream but I want a professional job and in the same time I can continue doing something that I like . You see , I cannot specifically list one interest because I am a variety person . I love to talk and wherever I go , I love to mix around . What I mean is , I love to be friendly and make everyone laugh . Or should I say , I love to do random things . For me , studies and social life should be stable when you enter universities . Or else , you end up living in an isolation . Imagine that . I do not think that university and high school differs a lot apart from heavy assignments though .
In high school , students are introduced to light groupworks and carry marks so they are exposed to a university lifestyle . On the other hand , university students have pack schedule and in the same time they have to complete tutorials and assignments . Trust me when I say pack , it is really pack and sometimes I bathe once a day because when I got back I fall asleep so quickly .
I have learn a valuable lesson apart from all of the stressful life I lead now . Perhaps , I cannot escape from being a student and must not quit from learning . When you say student , it does not relate to high school and institutes only where you can learn . Life itself is a lesson and every human being is a student of life , in fact a permanent one . I have been in the lowest position and I figured maybe failing is the beginning of my victory . After all , I am a student right ? I learn from my experience because mistakes should be learnt not kept . Once again , there is no such thing as clever or dumb student because your excellence are based on your attitude . Student should start from zero because Rome is not built in a day .
