What makes me eligible for this Scholarship?
I am Miny, 22 years old, currently studying in (UTP). I grew up in a small village at the east coast of Johor which is known as Jemaluang. This place is by the seaside where most of the people here are fishermen. Since young, I was educated by my parents that I should cope my study as well as the co-curriculum. I was actively involved high school activities whereby I was the president for Moral Club and Ping-Pong Society. In addition, I am a discipline person where I was appointed to be the school prefect for my entire high school years.
Since young, I was a student who has high interest on science related courses. I was also actively participating in science exhibition to explore myself to new ideas and technologies. Upon graduation from high school, I did a thorough research on engineering courses and I applied chemical engineering course as my tertiary education. The reasons behind why I applied this course was about my interest that I built since young. I applied the foundation in engineering course in UTP. Upon completion of foundation course, I further my study as a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering student in UTP. I still remember there was once event held in UTP that brought up my interests towards chemical engineering during my foundation. It was National Chemical Engineering Symposium (NACES) where I get to understand more about chemical engineering. During the event, there was exhibition held in UTP about plant design and I managed to gain knowledge about plant design. Hence, I promised myself to study harder in order to ensure myself is qualified as a chemical engineering student.
I was raised in a family which is not rich. My dad is a construction worker whereas my mom is a housewife. I have a brother and sister who are younger than me. As the eldest among 3 siblings, I promised myself to study hard so that I could get scholarship to lessen the burden in terms of financial to my dad. Besides, I had also applied for PTPTN financial assistance during my studies in UTP. I managed to get flying colours results during my 1-year foundation in engineering course and first semester of chemical engineering course. In addition, I am actively involving myself in Residential College Support Unit (RCSU) which is known as a student body in UTP to strengthen my soft skills. Apart from that, I was also the organizing committee for the largest student organized career fair in Malaysia.
