Me and my career plans. My name is Nursyafiqah binti Abdul Rahim. I am a senior in high school.

My favorite subjects are chemistry and biology. I am going to enter the university because my goal is to study my favorite subjects in future and to become a professional in this area. I can say that I am a responsible and hard-working student. Moreover, being a sociable person, I have many friends since I like to communicate with people and get acquainted with new interesting individuals. I enjoy my time at school: it is really nice to study and the students are very friendly and ready to help. The atmosphere cannot but make me want to go there every time. I like to receive challenging tasks and cope with them. I am a very enthusiastic student and I think this is a strong point of mine. I also believe that friendship is one of the most important values in human life. We exchange new ideas, find many interesting things about each other, have new experiences. I appreciate friendship and people who surround me. Every time I do my best to be a straight, honest and principled person. I am a loving daughter to my parents and a good sister for my elder brother Haiqal. I appreciate my relatives and my friends. They are real treasures in my life. I have heard people saying that the strongest support system in the whole world is family. For me this actually holds true. My family has sacrificed a lot for seventeen years to bring me to a place where I now stand. Throughout these years, my family especially my parents have always stood by me as I tried to find a forte in life. I only have a younger brother who made growing up interesting and full of fun. I live in Sg. Besi, K. Lumpur. this environment and the fact that I belong to a stable family have helped me in cultivating my passion for learning. In addition to this, I have always been active in co-curricular activities. I took part in a Renjer Puteri camping. I also presented my school in Archery Tournament. Furthermore, I was vice president for my class at my school. I am Ahli Lembage Koperasi in my school which is involve in bussiness.

As an seventeen year old girl, I find that life for me has been a process of continuous evolution. The values and morals imbibed in me by my parents and mentors alike have contributed to my development physical and intellectual. I managed to score 5A's in Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah, 8 A's in Penilaian Menengah Rendah, and im hoping to get straight A's in Sijil Penilaian Menengah. I am not ashamed to admit that I am afraid of failure. When I was in fourth grade, I hated Biology because I failed my mid-term examination. This trepidation of failure made me a strong person in a way that I started to pay extra attention to the course of Biology and as a result scored a B+ (Specify the grade... I am guessing you scored a B+) in my final examination. It was this moment in my life that I finally began to appreciate Biology for what it really was: The rhythmic beat of a heart; Blossoming of a flower; Capturing of an image by the eye - "Life" was Biology. I started

spending time to learn more aboutthe subject and my pursuits led me a detailed study of a human body: How a body is made of systems that are made up of a few organs that are made up of tissues which result from a systematic arrangement of cells. I knew I had found my perfect ambition. I wanted to be a Doctor.

I made a resolution to spend some time, every day, learning something new about biology. I pave my own path and flow of my future education. I plan to pursue my studies as an undergraduate medical student in Ireland. I must attend one year foundation at selected local institute. I have been doing some research on universities and I found my own target university. Royal College of Surgeon offers one of the best undergraduate medical courses in the world and is also sponsored by Majlis Amanah Rakyat. After five years of studying medicine, I plan on specializing in cardiology I would like to go back to Malaysia and contribute to the progress of my beloved country such as identifying the scope of Malaysia Health care System and improve it to maximum standard. My vision of future service as a doctor keeps me inspired and gives me the energy I need to succeed. Even though some people think it an unimaginative job, for my family it isn't so.. So, coming from a family which thrives on imagination, challenges and innovations I of pursuing medicine is the perfect culmination of our world situation right now which are natural disasters and unexpected new diseases. Doctor and other medical authorities are needed more than ever to help nurse the world.
