MUHAMMAD IZZ BIN M. ZAINAL

The day that i could never forget







16 June 2022. Approximately three month after the end of the journey of 5
years in MRSM Terendak. And today, is the day where we will know the fate of
my future after all these years grueling in the boarding school. The day of the

SPM result came out.



When I woke up, the only things in my mind is that today I will go to back to
my old school , meet some friends, take the result and went back home
without any public occasion or even thought that I would walking up to the
stage taking the result. Therefore, I could only prepare a normal outfit which
is a normal track pants, a cotton collar t-shirt and wearing my Nike ZoomX

Vaporfly Next% 2.
Unfortunately, my parents scolded me and said that this is a formal
ceremony, and I should wear formal attire to attending this occasion.

In my opinion, this is the perfect attire I could wear and suitable for the day
itself. Plus, today is my day. And it should be up to me to decide what will I
wear in my special day. I cried because the intense situation among the fights
between my parents and the anxiety of troubling about my upcoming SPM
result. My emotion of that morning starts with such a miserable and suicidal.
After completing packaging items that I needed, I got in the car and listening
to songs along the journey while my father drives it to Sungai Udang, Melaka.



The moment I arrived in the collage, the first person I ever saw was my twin.
My name is Izz. But he is Izz Naufal. When I entered the hall, he was among the
first ever person to greet and talk to me. Suddenly, he said that he has already

know the results, and he congratulates me a lot. It is to much to be true. I
could only said and wishing that may we get up to the stage together taking
flying colours in our spm. But still, this is not official and I can’t truly trust
what have he said but it does seems to be signs that miracle might happens

sometimes.

My twin, Izz Naufal came to MRSM Terendak in 2019 which is when I was in
form 3 and he was transferred to here from MRSM Pasir Salak due to family
matter. In the early stages of knowing him, he was a good guy. It was a good
old time when everything sync’s together as we have same name but one day
everything changes. In 2020, I applied for the student representative council
position and the offer was opened to all students who reached more than
3.00 overall pointer. And he applied the same position too. For some reasons,

he was my biggest competitor in the history of my lifetime in MRSM.



During the homeroom session, my advisor told me privately that the my
form for the position has been rejected due to having discipline problems. A
teacher said that “Izz” has been caught by herself dating with junior. In other

words, I have been banned from being a leader in my collage.

Being a part of student representative council was my dream since I was form
1. Due to the incident, I felt devastated. I knew I am not the one who does this
misbehavior and I am innocent. I insisted to solve this problem and gather all
witness and all the person involved to discuss about what can we do and who
was the one is guilty. After investigation completed, the witness said that it is
true that Izz has done the act but not Izz Zainal. It was my twin. But still, I am

the one to blame and I lose the position due to lack of support among
teachers and academic pointer differences. In the end, he won the position

and I lose.



After the tragedy. He is seen as a bright student with a big chances to excel
in examination and in SPM. All teacher came gathering around and helping
him to be the best student in hope that he could prepared better for the

exam. Due to that matter, I was isolated and seems to be a very normal
students with zero hopes for future exam. No one bats an eye to me. All eyes

on him.

For 5 years, after 10 semester I have never got any principal’s award which is
given to every student that achieves a pointer more than 3.5 during the

semester. During the graduation ceremony, I won zero awards and I graduated
bottom 20 in my whole batchmates. And my twin? He won multiple awards
and special award from the principle himself. And again, I felt devastated.


There was no hope. During the pre-trial, I have no A’s. And the spmrsm, I
have only 2 A’s. therefore, I can’t give any prediction or comments about my
real spm results since I am the only children who had a chance to study for 5

years in boarding school. I could only pray for the best and wishing good luck
to everyone. Well, miracles do happen sometimes.



By 10 AM, the results could be access personally online by the website given
by minister of education. But my father said to me to not do it yet. It could
make the feel of suspense disappear and there wont be surprise to know the
results when it comes to public announcement In the hall. I agreed with my

father’s suggestion and waited for announcement.

“To begin with, I would like to call, the listed names of students achieving 7
A’s in SPM, the first student is, Muhammad Izz Bin M.Zainal” I was the first
student called and the first person to get up the stages and take prizes and
the awards given by the principal. I was in tears. Finally, the comeback is true.
For the first time, I saw everyone in the hall clapping their hand and all of my
friends and teachers cheering for me when my name was announced as a
successful student since I am not listed among the students expected to be

excel in the SPM. For a moment in my life, I felt appreciated in the last
moments with my friends in MRSM Terendak.



After 5 years, it has been my dream to stand up on the stage taking a big
achievement and now the dream has come true.
