YOU ARE NOT ALONE – THE POWER OF ASKING FOR HELP

Assalamualaikum, salam sejahtera, and a very good morning to all students of SMK Jalan Oya.

Standing here today, I feel proud and inspired. Proud because I see before me a generation of learners with enormous potential. Inspired because I know that within each of you lies the ability to achieve greatness—not just for yourselves, but for your families, your community, and the pride of SMK Jalan Oya.

Today, I want to speak to you from my heart.

“Your background does not determine your future—your determination does.”

Many of you come to school with challenges. Some travel far, some carry responsibilities at home, some face pressures and doubts. But remember this—

🔥 Orang yang besar bukanlah yang tidak pernah jatuh, tetapi yang bangkit setiap kali dia terjatuh.

Every successful person was once a student like you. They too felt tired, afraid, or unsure. What made them extraordinary was not talent alone—it was discipline, effort, and the belief that they could change their own destiny.

Your School, Your Pride

You belong to SMK Jalan Oya, Sibu—a school known for its resilience, unity, and spirit. This is a place where students grow not only academically, but as responsible, compassionate individuals.

🔹 You are not just learning for exams.

🔹 You are preparing for life.

🔹 You are shaping your own future.

If you want success:

• Be disciplined.

• Respect your teachers—they are your guides.

• Build strong friendships—they are your support.

• Believe in yourself—because we believe in you.

Success Begins With Small Steps

You don’t have to be excellent overnight. Just try to be 1% better every day. Attend class prepared. Ask when you don’t understand. Use time wisely. Surround yourself with positive people.

💡 “Belajar bukan untuk hari ini sahaja, tetapi untuk masa depan.”

You Are Not Alone

If you are struggling—academically or emotionally—reach out. To your teachers, counselors, or even a trusted friend. Meminta bantuan bukan kelemahan, tetapi kekuatan.

We rise together.

Your Principal’s Hope

I want every student of SMK Jalan Oya to carry this belief:

“I am capable. I am valuable. I can succeed.”

Hold your head high, walk with purpose, and let your actions speak louder than any doubt.

In Closing

My dear students,

🚀 Dream big, start small, act now.

🌟 Let SMK Jalan Oya be known because of your achievements.

🏆 And remember—your future begins today, right here, right now.

Thank you, and I believe that one day, I will proudly say: “That great person was once a student of SMK Jalan Oya.”
