"About Me"

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths. Then when I start chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. This is the principle that I keep remembering to myself every time.
From the first time I was able to realize what a university was, all I heard from my mother's side of the family was about the Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA and the great heritage it has. Many a Saturday afternoon my father would devote to me, by sitting me down in front of the television and reminiscing about the Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA during it student with community program and convocation in television. Later, as I grew older and universities took on greater meaning, my brother, alumni of the Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA, took me to see his old stamping grounds. From first sight, the university looked frightening because of its size, but with such a large school comes diversity of people and of academic and non-academic events.
In High School, non-academic clubs such as the Media and Communication, which I have belonged to for two years, give me an opportunity to see both the media world and the business world. These clubs have given me a greater sense of what these careers may be like. In Media and Communication Club, I participated in field trips to Sistem Televisyen Malaysia Berhad (STMB) or TV3 headquaters in Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama, Selangor and also participated in two Program Anak Angkat Rakan Muda in Kluang district.
After that, I hold a job at advertising company. This lets me interact with people outside my own immediate environment. I meet different kinds of people, in different moods, with different attitudes, and with different values. This job teaches me to be patient with people, to have responsibility, and to appreciate people for what they are.
In the community I am active in my mosque Youth Group. As a high school sophomore, I was our mosque's youth representative. I helped organize youth group events, the largest being "Majlis Maulidur Rasul," a neighbourhood-wide event for 100 young people. I also played high school junior varsity soccer for two years. As a senior I will be playing varsity soccer, but in the off-season. As a senior I coached a school childs' soccer team for our neighborhood. This gave me a great deal of responsibility because the care of twenty-four childs was put into my custody. It felt very satisfying to pass on the knowledge of soccer to another generation. The childs played teams from other parts of Kluang. Though their record was 3-8, they enjoyed their season. This is what I taught them was the greatest joy of soccer
The past three years of my life have given me greater visions of my future. I see the Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA as holding a large book with many unread chapters and myself as an eager child who has just learned to read. I intend to read and probe into all the chapters. The Universiti Teknologi MARA offers me more than the great reputation of this fine school, but a large student body with diverse likes and dislikes, and many activities, both academic and non-academic, to participate in. With the help of the Universiti Institut Teknologi MARA, I will be successful after graduate and be able to make a name and place for myself in our society
