i have led quite the interesting life in my whole 2 years and 1 month in NYP. Today was Graduation Ceremony for the School of Health Sciences and I was given such a great opportunity to present an item, a present from us juniors, to our graduating seniors, on stage.
never in my whole entire life have I ever had such an amazing opportunity. okay, the last i remembered was when I was in Primary 6 and I was given the chance to give a speech about my teacher for Teachers’ Day.
i feel really blessed because i was able to experience a lot of things whilst in NYP. from being a dancer in flashmobs, to being an ambassador for SYOG 2010, and not forgetting representing NYP in French Student Idol 2010, awarded the Director’s List (although it was only for Year 1…. :/ my classmate is just TOO SMART don’t judge me.) and then leading students through a Nature Trail organized by National Geographic, and today, going on stage. Alhamdulillah. My rezeki is found in all of these and I can’t help but feel satisfied. Next year, when it’s my turn to graduate, I will still feel satisfied because my life in NYP has been nothing short of amazing.
the lecturer in-charge of Graduation told me during one of the rehearsals that, “Atiqah, you’re really very good. You could potentially be our Graduate Speaker for next year.” I am looking forward to do that next year, InsyaAllah. Just these words can keep me going.
This shall be my new goal: To be the Graduate Speaker for Graduation 2013.
I realised one thing. In NYP, I have been given so many positive words of encouragement. Perhaps, this is why I am able to grow and experience so much. Perhaps, this is why I feel like I can stretch my limits. Perhaps, this is why I know that I can do the impossible. Because, I know that people believe in my ability.
So. It’s time to work even harder, yet smarter as well. Graduation 2013 will be an exciting one too, InsyaAllah! :D
