Beautiful, what Allah has written for my journey..
Started off as a science stream student since primary up to matriculation, seeing to where I have been right now is completely far from what I have imagine where my future lands.
Pivoting to Business School was never my plan. After matriculation, my dad gave me an ultimatum on whether I should continue Science or do OSHA because I’m struggling to understand why I was burnout when I work really hard, I barely slept to study and yet, I did not do well for my matriculation. That’s when my heart says “Eli stop! Take a step back, think and decide what I really want to do.”
My parents are stern, but they are always there for me to lean on. They guide me to mature early. Get me on my grip. Always been my main stronghold. Made me realize, we can work hard, but at the end of the day, you may plan but none of it was ever yours to control with. It’s all Allah’s.
I didn’t know what to practice for my degree. To know that, I need to try. Glad I made that phone call.
Never dreamt of graduating with First Class Honours before. I struggle when I do Science. International Business is a completely whole new thing to learn. Can I do this or do I make the wrong decision? Tough Call but I hold on to my parent’s advice, Husnudzon, Usaha & Tawakkal. Easier to be said than done. So many things happen during my earlier years of studies. Received a call to stop my degree during my 3rd and change course, being ostracized for 3 semesters due to some misunderstanding and struggling to complete my group assignments because of that. Financial problem? Always. And yet, I hold on to that advice and persistent to always bersangka baik with Allah’s plan and it paid off.
Then, my life started to change. I met with my beautiful friends who was always with me through highs and lows, I met with my course mates and housemates who’s very dear, understanding and supportive towards me. All my lecturers are really beyond wonders with their endless support and guidance. I’m in a whole new surroundings. A good one.
Blessed, Grateful and Honored to get to know all of them. Truly, the bittersweet journey tastes sweeter when you have a great company.
