What is your successful story you would like to share with?
I had been struggling hard to strike a balance between my study and my interest during my secondary school life. This was mainly due to my commitment and enthusiasm in basketball. Despite objection of my family members and friends on overdosing in sports, I managed to persuade them by scoring my SPM excellently and winning a scholarship from National Basketball Association to further my studies in tertiary education. It was hard to convince them, but not until I achieved these personal success few years ago. Pursuing your own interest and excelling in academic studies are equally important. Life is only vibrant and meaningful when we have both or even more, I guess.
