My unforgettable matriculation experience

Coping strategy: Interacting and socialising with people is vital to survive as a student.

EIGHT months ago, I teared up in front of my residential block at Negri Sembilan Matriculation College because I had left my home in Rawang, Selangor, to pursue my pre-university tertiary studies there and was bidding farewell to my family.

Just last month, I found my eyes welling up again at the same place but for a different reason – I had completed my studies and was crestfallen at having to bid my roommates and friends adieu.
