Today, It is about 3 months I'm being a STPM student. What is STPM? STPM is Sijil Pelajaran Tinggi Malaysia. You can say it is kind of exam LOL. STPM is one of the ways for Malaysian to pursue their study. I got 4 As for my SPM. I know I am good XD.
Was I didn't get any offer from university? Honestly, I get it. I get an offer from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) to pursue my study in Diploma Business Study (Insurance). When I get that offer, I was in dilemma. STPM is harder than Diploma but, I don't wanna leave my school XD. Yeah, STPM student will study in High School not in university. That was my first reason.
Secondly, I want to pursue my Degree study in International Islamic University Malaysia. I want to keep in my background as an Islamic student. I don't want to be an Ustazah. Don't get me wrong. It just, I don't want to people think that I have a social problem.
Thirdly, I felt challenged by the nation my teacher said, Chinese and Indians choose STPM to pursue their study and they success. Malay choose Diploma because is a safe way to success and have a higher reputation. I was like, I am a Chinese-Malay mix, I felt that I have a responsible to change this Malay mindset. Am I weird for feeling that way?
Next, STPM is faster than Diploma. STPM took only 1 year and half while Diploma took 2 years and half. Say no more, I choose STPM. I don't want to study for a long period. If I have a shorter period study, Why not I choose it?
Next point, STPM is cheaper than Diploma. Both are cheap actually, but STPM is cheaper. Plus, I think about the cost of living. You know, Malaysia have a high cost of living. I don't want to call my father every month and tell him I need money. No way!
So that is it. I hope this writing will tell you a little bit about benefits of STPM. Please, change your mindset. STPM is not for a student who failed in SPM. STPM student is smart too. STPM and Diploma is same. The different is, the method of study. Spread the loves, stop the hates.
That is all for now. Follow me if you to read more writing from me. See you next time.
