Scholarship / Olympiads, Chemistry Club and tutorial classes - NTU Scholarship Essay on my achievements [11]

Describe, in less than 300 words, an exceptional achievement that highlights your academic and CCA interests that would be of value to the NTU community.

Born in a science teacher family, I have been hooked in mathematics and science since I was a little kid. I was led to learn beyond what is taught in school and was trained in self-reliance, logical thinking, and problem solving. As time went on, I became more fascinated in science especially in Chemistry and enthusiastically did some research by myself. Consequently, I was appointed to join some competitions and Olympiads which built my self-esteem and independence.

I also took part in Chemistry Club in SMAK 1 PENABUR. Besides studying theories from the textbook, in Chemistry club I also learned Chemistry through experiments. It enlightened me on how Chemistry can be applied in real life. By doing experiments, I also gained self-discipline and made me dedicate myself to Chemistry and therefore I have a dream to be a researcher in Chemistry.

Beyond those mentioned above, I am also active in tutorial classes. I become a tutor for my fellow students and juniors in mathematics and science. As a tutor, it is a necessity that I excel in my studies and know deeper about the subject I am teaching. I also learn how to present teaching materials in an easy and interesting way for my students to understand.

I hope that NTU can fulfill my dream to be a researcher in Chemistry and let me join NTU program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering so that I can apply the knowledge for my country and humanity.

Thank You for your help and comments.
