Wrong Turn

October 19, 2008

Have you ever watched the movie “Wrong Turn”? It’s a movie about a group of teens who were having a roadtrip, which were supposed to be a nice way to spend their summer holiday. However, they took a wrong turn on an intersection and the road where they were heading to eventually leads to a place which were terrored by a psycho murderer and they have to fight for their life.

Three years ago, when I was still in grade 9, my parents gave me few choices of high schools that I have to attend after I finished my junior high. When my mom gave me the brochure of SMAK 1, I suddenly felt “Oh for Christ Sake! How on earth would I be able to attend a school as prestigious as this? My mom must have been ambitious but rubbish!”. I was so sure at the time that there’s no way I could be accepted in this school.

Few months after I attend the entrance test, I was taking part in a school event when my mom called me. I still can remember quite vividly what se said to me at that afternoon. “You’re accepted in SMAK 1″, said her. At an instant, I felt like being electrocuted. I was so happy at that time. I can belive that I was accepeted there.

Time passed by. Suddenly, July had already arrived which means I was going to attend the very first day in SMAK 1. I have high hopes when I entered this school. Despite all the remedials and fucked up physics score, I still tought that when I graduate from this school, I would have a world beating knowledge, that I would be respected as a SMAK 1 graduate.

Yesterday, I went to an edu fair in my school. I was looking for information about universities in Canada. I’ve always want to go there since I was in junior high. Continuing my study in Canada have always been my dream. I’ve checked some websites of respectable universities and I was surprised that they don’t request my report card. It was relieving for me because I have to say, my scores are not really good, in fact, they’re rubbish. You see, this is the problem with SMAK 1 students, the lessons are very hard. Getting 70 in here is as hard as getting 90 in stupid appalling goverment funded public schools. And I was schocked when peoples from various education agents and from canadian education centers told me that I would have to get an average score of 80 to be considered seriously. Damn! Don’t those Canadian realize how hard it is for me to get 70 only? Getting 80 might be compared as finding lifes on Mars! It’s very hard indeed! At that point, I realized that I have taken a wrong turn when I agreed to enter SMAK 1 2 years ago. Now I’m stuck with a stupid school with a cockbag principal, lots of twatty teachers, and an impossibly hard lessons.

I hope I can survive this circle of hell…
