Group Progress ( Week 12 )

Simplified, detailed essay on topic; fcm student is the faculty of gold digger; money maker.

        Many people said that money can’t buy happiness. It’s true. But for FCM’s students, money is everything to pursue their studies. Why? It’s because they need a lot of money to buy their high quality materials and pay the courses which cost them more then RM 10,000. It’s hard to believe, but this is the life that FCM’s students faced. Sure enough if their parents are so wealthy, the chances of their survival in MMU are high. However, for those who come from just a so-so family, they had to sacrifice everything. Everyday they’ll feel worry for tomorrow, the future. Not everyone can grasp any scholarships they desire. They had to work hard and some of them choose to work part-time jobs just to support themselves until the day where they graduate and have a proper job.

For a start, foundation is a must before you can enroll in degree. Only then you can pursue your goal whether you want to be in Animation industry, Media Innovation, Virtual Reality, Interface Design or Media Arts. What’s interesting behind every story of an amateur artist is the process of rejection of their works. And of course along the way, there’ll be harsh comments and criticisms. Hence, for every artwork they spent more than RM10 and if they had to redo it again, the numbers of money will also increasing. To solve this problem, some students had to take extreme decision by cutting the food cost or keep on ‘diet’. You’ll see how Maggie and breads become so popular among them. Somehow, it seems pathetic but that’s the only way to keep survive.

To success, you had to suffer first before you can taste the fruit of joy itself.  It’s true that FCM is money consuming, but once you graduate and shape your skills beautifully, there will always someone that will hire you to work with them. And the pay also doubled the fun. You’ll get more than 3 digits of zero if you created a logo. But if you become a professional artist, the numbers are beyond your expectations and then you’ll know that all your hard work and suffers have given you the life that you always dream of.
