Aadithiya gave his teachers to mark his exercises to improve himself. Starpix by Low Lay Phon.

DON’T get disheartened when you score low marks and don’t feel embarrassed to face your classmates.

There are always more opportunities to improve yourself. Identify your weakness and find a solution.

That was Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2019 top scorer Aadithiya Selvaraja’s advice to students.

“Be attentive during lessons and respect your teachers.

“Parents too shouldn’t compare their children to others as each student have their unique strengths and capabilities, ” he said.

The 18-year-old from SMK Tinggi Kajang achieved 11As in the recent examination and was invited to give students a motivational talk at the Little Penguins Literacy Consultancy recently.

Effort and hard work, he said, was the only way to do well.

For the SPM, he studied with his friends and exchanged notes, besides doing his own exercises at home.

Once he completed the exercises, he would bring them to school for his teachers to mark them and give him feedback.

“My teachers even gave us extra lessons after schooling hours.”
