Two Girls, Different Stories

Well, as much as what you guys are thinking right now, stop thinking about it. It's not a typical love story or to be specific, a love triangle story that is floating on your mind at this moment.

These two girls. Well, can't help but it would be two girls not two guys. These two girls taught me a lot and got me into deep thoughts lately. Directly or indirectly, they changed my life. Not to say that they turn me totally into a new leaf but I do learn a lot from them and they had an impact on my life especially the second girl which I'll share more about later.

The first girl, I shall use her last two initial name, PC *wanted to use their real name here but don't really feel if there's a need to*. I've known PC since Sem1 in my degree in Sunway. A very quiet and polite girl in my class compared to the rest of the girls who talk non stop. Not that really close to her till Sem2 when we work on together for assignments. She's a girl full of the joys of the spring. My heart literally sank when I was told that she will be quitting her degree studies this week. She said that she could not cope with the pressure on the studies and she's not doing good with her results. I still couldn't believe that she really made the decision. I don't know her really well but at least in lectures and tutorials, she does pay attention and does her works. Unlike me, who talks non stop with my friends or perhaps once in a blue moon, I put in full concentration in classes. Without a doubt, it would definitely be a very tough decision for her to take. After going on for so long in this journey. From sem1 to sem3, it's not a very long period of time nor it's a short one. I'm not sure what she went through but what she has done really put myself onto the mirror. As far as I'm concerned, she's not the only one that quit this course so far. She served as a timely reminder for me to kick my ass right now to start putting more efforts on my studies. I don't know if there's any pressure on me or if I'm just simply ignoring the pressure or if I'm actually handling the pressure well. But whatever it is, I have to pull my socks right now and be real serious on my studies. Though I have only one subject this semester which is counted in the degree honours classification, I believe that I need to score well to keep up or raise the momentum for me to do better. I must never throw in the towel like what my friend did, I can never imagine myself doing that. Anyway, I would like to wish you, PC, that no matter what comes to your life in the future, hang in there and never back down. There will always be sunshine after the storm. And hope you stay in the pink of health! God bless.

Move on to the second girl, YZ. What can I say about her and how do I start here? She's the one that changed my study life the most in uni. She's the creme de la creme in my degree program, holding the title of chancellor scholar. I don't know how I've got to know her, I'm not at the top hierarchy order of Sunway students where the elite students mix only among themselves. Perhaps it was fate that she came into my life. I knew her last sem and everything has been different for me since then. I still remember that I've only got to know that she's such a smart girl after quite some time, I never knew it till one fine day when my friend told me that the girl sitting next to me just now is our uni's top student. And again, I was shocked and couldn't believe it. Wondering how could I not feel it at all. Well, a down to earth girl she is, that's why. Alright, that was a bit off and too long for an introduction. Fast forward, through her, I learned a lot. She didn't directly teach me how to study but just by looking at her life and what she does, tells me a lot. She's someone who make good use of every single second in her life. Time is gold. Easier to be said but hard to be put into use. I could see that she doesn't procrastinate like how I do. She never gives up, work hard, and set her eyes straight to her goals. She will achieve things that she wants. I've always got an impression that top students are like nerds studying all the time with no life. I've seen and met a lot of these people before. But she's the first one that proved me wrong and change my perspective. She's an outgoing girl who is actively involved with lots of uni's acitivities and she juggles her time very well between her studies and other stuffs. She's a strong and independent girl who doesn't like to depend on others. She always do and get things done on her own without asking any help. For me to continue talking about her qualities would make me write forever. All in all, she's someone that really set the bar for me. I'm not sure if I could achieve results like hers but I'll pull out all the stops and leave no stones unturned. I've learned a lot from her and I hope I could make good use of it and get some results. It will be a long and weary road but if she could do it, why not me? All I need to do is just to take that extra step and courage.

In conclusion, it's not by chance that I've got to know both of them. I believe that everything is part of God's plan and purpose. Both of them left footprints in me and I hope that I could be able to do the same on them. Life's getting more exciting and tougher but I'm loving it.





Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
