Finally, after 3.5 years I achieved what I sought out to achieve during my first year in IIUM. My mentor asked me what my goal in terms of GPA was and I said without thinking too much 4.00. He told me to be realistic and I told him that I will prove him wrong (paveolitely, I hope :D) FYI: that lecturer became one of my favourite lecturer and mentor hokay... Anyway, back to why I am writing this post. Someone, an acquaintance asked me how I did it.. To be frank, I seriously do not know any answer to that. People think I have some sort of trade secret in the education department. So i told hubby what this person requested for. And i said what do i say? He replied, don't say don't have anything... blah blah blah don't give him the crap that you don't have any tips. so i replied something I hope will help him. But tonight, I am thinking really hard in terms of advising my juniors and future juniors in taking charge of your education in your own hands...
