KUCHING: On the first day of a new schooling term yesterday, many students of SMK Matang Jaya were excited but nervous at the same time.
New Sarawak Tribune interviewed a few students from the school about their feelings and preparations for the new schooling year.
MOHD HADIEF IRFAN HADIE, 19
I was excited and looked forward to meeting my friends and teachers again. In fact, I was almost late tfor school because I had used to waking up late during the holidays. I had been preparing for my STPM by studying at night instead of in the evening to avoid feeling tired after school.

Returning to school made me a bit nervous, but it’s better to come back now than never as I’m currently in semester 2 of Form 6. Before I know it, semester 3 will be here. Fortunately, I didn’t oversleep today.
NUR RUDHAINI ASHIKIN ROSLAN, 19
I have started preparing early for my STPM. I want to avoid repeating past mistakes and aim to improve my performance in the second semester.
ELYNA MANGGAU EDWIN, 19
I have started preparing for my upcoming exam. When it comes to getting ready for STPM, my main aim will be to focus on classes. I also prefer to study with friends rather than on my own. I am aiming to enter a teaching university because I want to become a teacher in the future.
