1) What is the difference between school and university?
Literally none. In school we have friends, in university we got mates. At school we struggled on homework, at university we attached to assignments. We have teachers at school, we have lecturers at university. Even though the terms are alphabetically different, but the definition are the same nevertheless.
2) If school and university are the same, why people tend to raise their glimpse higher to university graduates than to school leavers?
Pressure. When we enrolled to a university, indirectly we are writing a new episode in our life. Even though I claimed earlier that both are the same, but the pressure is unpredictably different. Our family will mount their hope higher on us when we registered to a university. We will meet a bigger circle in university. If at school there are 35 peoples per class, at university it isn't an astonishment if there are 50 and above. The community of university is vast, way larger than at school. For example if you won an election, there will be at least 4000 people will know you, impact you an instant public figure. At school you only learn and learn all the time but at university you have to present in front of the audience about what you have learned. The pressure is much higher and inconsistent than we were at school. Like people said, coal won't become diamonds if it can't stand on being pressured.
But believe me, if you found the right friend, suitable peer for you to cling to, you'll manage to go through it successfully, with smooth no matter how compressed you were before. Life is your journey, your story. The pen is in your hand. The choice between beautiful and awful lies in your grasp. Choose with wise, not with lies.
The toughest battle always emerge when we least expected it. But bear in mind, that He would never put His beloved ones beyond their capabilities.
Tribute to #smkayperform , a movement generated by my alma mater. Thanks to Sir Asyraf I have been more productive in this usually-lazy Friday.
