Having studied a repertoire of subjects during high school, I believe I am capable of making exceptional efforts in the field as well as communicating within multiple communities.

Taekwondo class was attained weekly and my reading habit was maintained. I won the first prize in school level Book Review Competition. My hard work pays off because of my consistent effort and diligence. Thus, I have tried to constantly improve and enrich my mind.

I was the top 5 winners in my school of Business Zoom In Competition held by Taylor's University, Malaysia which aims to enhance student's understanding and awareness of business skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, and time management.

The relationship among the committee remains close as we often concern recent situation of one another. We have organized mini book fairs and published a magazine.
