Personal Growth Journey

 Growing up, I was a very active student in Elementary school. I join many activities including curriculum or co-curriculum. For example, I have participated in book story telling, spelling competition, and have a good achievement in sport such as going to National Handball team.

However, when I go to high school, I became a passive student who only focusses on education and examination. It was because all of my elementary friends who used to do every activities together went to different high schools. I had an extremely shyness issue to join any activities alone by myself. But it only lasted for two years.

How do I cope with this problem?

Over the year, I pushed my self to step out of my comfort zone. I challenge myself by took part in social event and join competition such as public speaking, poetry recitation and product review competition. Thankfully, I manage to overcome my shyness issue as well as became a more productive student during high school. Making a first step in personal growth is a powerful decision. Even though it requires facing fears and stepping out of comfort zone, each step forward helps me gain confidence and learn more about myself along the way.

 I am looking forward for more opportunities in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to develop my personal growth.
