Journey of Life

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone. I'm Nurfarrah 'ain Binti Mohammad Sport, with the matric number 68410. You can call me Farrah or Ain. I'm from Kuching, Sarawak. I want to tell a little about my experience before I go to university. After the STPM decision came out, I found that my STPM decision was not very good. From there I started to feel very worried that my entry rate to the university was quite thin. After several days of STPM decision, I decided to meet with counselors at SMK Tun Abang Haji Openg to ask how to fill the UPU online and at the same time want to know what counseling program I need to take to fill UPU online later. After discussions with counseling teachers at school. I went to Sarawak State Library to fill the UPU online. After a week later, I found my online UPU wrong. Then I try to go to all the university-related seminars. All that I experienced. I fell down from the wood hole before going to the seminar until I was hit by a motorcycle and on my way to the seminar I was overwhelmed by heavy rain. From there I feel very hard and I almost give up. Every time I feel my defeat will remind my parents and my face, in that way I rise again and never give up. I'm very scared if I can not go to university. In many seminars I went there, there was a seminar that had a B40 form from University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) for admission to a university that was unrelated to the online UPU. The B40 form is completed and sent to University Malaysia Sarawak. Every time I go to the program, my dad will always ask my progress as I attend each program. During the online UPU invitation, I feel very sad because I know I can not go to university. Since then, I started calling UPU officials asking what I should do if I was mistaken for the UPU. I'm very confused, I want to go to university because to get my father's wishes for me to go to university. After three days of university entry for the first session, I received a call from UNIMAS office and congratulated me as I was able to connect my studies to UNIMAS. After hearing the good news, I continued to contact my father and told me I had successfully entered the university. I feel very happy because of what my father wants to see me go to university.

I saw my parents face very happy and I also saw the sacrifice of my father while preparing my entry into university. Even so she was not ashamed to ask for a little help for me from a grandfather. I feel very sad when I hear my mother tell me back. How much she tried to get some help from an outsider. From there, when I entered every class I determined to study hard. My experience when entering Basic Helping Skills classes during the first week, I feel very nervous and very worried. Like something playing in my mind. I think whether the lecturer is good or fierce, is she a considerate person, is she a person to be approached, whether the friends in the class are friendly or not, are they all clever and are all fluent in English. minutes later before 08:00 am, when stepping into the classroom, my basic assistance skills lecturer came in with a smiling face to us all in the class. The first time I saw lecturer, I found she is a Chinese child who has entered Islam religion. She greets us wit a kindly smile and give us a good impression in our mind. I find she has a motherhood when she looks at her face, the way she speaks and her style. I feel warm with Dr. Fa because of her humor and gentle personalities. Before the lesson start, she will introduce himself, her name Dr. Fatahyah Yahya so can call her Dr. Fa. She also tells her little background. After that, everyone among us who introduced ourselves and expressed their own strength.

After attending the class, I had learned about what is helping, helper, and helpee, the character of the effective helpers. I also had learned various helping technique and skill that are important for each counsellor must have. How to make a role play. I learned how to play the role play and the skills used throughout the role play. I learned many knowledge from basic helping skills class.
