Hello everyone, I am a university student from Malaysia.

Malaysia is a country where Malay is the main language. In other words, in many government examinations, candidates must pass Malay to pass the examination.

I am a Malaysian who is not very good in Malay, but at least I can understand and speak some simple Malay scripts that I use everyday. When I was in elementary school, I couldn’t go to middle school smoothly because I failed in Malay. I had to go to preparatory class to go to middle school. That means I was a year slower than others.

I still remember that when I was in the preparatory class, because the reading environment was not very good, I started to have no interest in learning… From the beginning, I failed in Malay to other subjects too. In this way, I got into Form 3, and I was going to take the PMR year. Obviously, I also failed the PMR. However, if you failed at that time, you could still get to form 4.

The year of middle school of form 4 can be said to be one of the turning points of my life. At that time, I had to choose between science or liberal arts. I was more interested in science and it was all in English. However, many people discouraged me from taking science at the time, because science was for students who were more “good” and students who could not read are suggested to take liberal arts. Most of the liberal arts are mainly in Malay. If I chose the liberal arts at that time, wouldn’t it be digging for myself to jump and die? So I decisively chose science.

When I started my science, I was lucky to meet a good math teacher. This teacher completely changed me. He always likes to use “word that people don’t like to hear” to educate me. I also decided to change myself because of this. I started to arrange time to study each subject by myself. I still remember that I used to arrange 1 hour a day to study 1 subject. In this way, I reached Form 5, my biggest problem is still Malay. At that time, the SPM exam was getting closer and closer, and I had no choice but to rely on memorize. In order to pass the Malay test, I memorize some common sentences and the main points of the composition.

Finally, my efforts were not in vain. In the SPM exam, I passed the Malay for the first time. Because of my financial problems, I finally decided to enter a local university because of cheap tuition fee. Although many people say that it is difficult for local universities to get the subjects they want, I only decide to go to private universities if I really can’t get what I want. So I went to the university preparatory class — -Form6 (Equivalent to A-Level).

When I was in Form6, the biggest devil was still the same — — Malay. It’s the same to live back, memorizing all the Malay phrases. Form6 has three semesters. You must pass all three semesters and get a score of 3.0 or above before I can go to the university I want to and apply for the degree that I want.

Obviously, I finally got admitted to the university I wanted to enter, and I was lucky to get computer science . Why would I choose computer science? Because I am interested in mathematics, and I want to learn programming for a long time. This journey is really not easy, especially when I have been encountering Malay subjects.

Friends who have read here, thank you for your patience. I just want to share my past with everyone.

Next, I will share some knowledge about programming. Let people who want to learn programming but don’t know where to start, and learn programming knowledge step by step through my sharing.
