Never have I had any day like on Thursday, 6 August 2011. First, on this Thursday's morning I learned that I would not be able to write a thesis for my year 4 Bachelor degree in Economics. I was very disappointed because I always look forward to writing a thesis. In my mind I was thinking that it was ok, because I should have something to cheer for and it is the certificate of excellence for the top 3 outstanding students.
Then came the afternoon in which Orientation Day will be held. I expected that I would at least get the 3rd outstanding position. If I don't, I will be the saddest person on this planet. The moment that I have been waiting for has arrived. This is it! It is time to reveal the outstanding students for the afternoon shift of Year 3. Lecturer Khan Bophan firstly announce the 3rd position. At that moment, I was kind of anticipating my name to be called out because I did have a good score for year 3. To my surprise, the name called out wasn't my name. Fear immediately strike into the inner core of me. I was totally out of words to say. I was thinking to myself "Maybe I couldn't do it. Bad luck is with me." My heart started to beat really fast; I started to have butterflies in my stomach. The next position is to be called out. I said to myself "Please!!! Let it be me... Please!!". The lecturer announced that there were 2 number 1 outstanding. One of the 2 names is mine.. My mind was totally filled with joy. I could not believe this. My hard work has finally paid off. I have made myself especially my parents proud.
I am resolved to keep up my hard work for year 4 both at RULE and IFL..
