The Beginning or The End?

If you would think of SPM as a beginning towards a new life, you are only half-correct.
If you however treat SPM as an end, you are not right at all.
Life is a circle, what goes around comes around. The loop is continuous and it never ends.
As an educated student for 17 years, one should already know SPM is a necessity for one to pursue a higher education, which courses depend on your family's finance background and also your results as well.
For the same amount of time as well, we learned the meaning of our existence. To be happy, and to make others happy. To cherish, and to give. To love, not hate.
Whatever it is, there is always more to life than excellent results. Bad results do not mean you're a lesser person in the society nor symbolise your true values.

Put it in simple words, it all boils down to how much effort we put in. The effort I mean here does not represent "If I hadn't played so much and instead worked like a dog, I 'd have gotten my A1s".
The effort here is simply "Do your best out of your best".
If we can find satisfaction from what we've done, the efforts will never go into waste.

Instead of counting down the hours before the nightmare begins tomorrow, just look forward towards what you can do after SPM! Keeping long hair, playing games all-night long, going to the malls super frequently, hanging out with friends like there's no tomorrow, getting a license or if you already have one, drive your friends out for a drink.. The list goes on and on.

We're at the beginning of the road towards our dreams after SPM. Some would say, reality starts here. The other end of the road will be promising and fulfilling, provided we travel this road with an open-mind and do our best.
