MUHAMMAD AIDIL AD-DHAR B M A Class 4A1 ( 2013 )
PASSION AND STRUGGLE : I CAN ( NEVER GIVE UP )
Aidil ’ s passion for his Co-curricular Activities ( CCA ) as well as his constant endeavour to do well in his studies has helped him to persevere .
Juggling three different Co-curricular Activities with my studies is not an easy task , but it still can be done .
Being the Assistant Sergeant Major in my school ’ s National Cadet Corps , an executive committee member in the Student Council and representing my school ’ s soccer club in tournaments is a tough endeavour but I have also told myself – I can .
Are you crazy ? Some of my friends hurled this question at me . I just simply replied , “ No .”
I am sure that with determination and perseverance , I can excel in both my CCAs as well as my studies .
I am a “ normal ” guy ( in every sense of the word , normal ), living the same life like any other student . Apart from being “ normal ”, what keeps me going is the willingness within me to persevere , to suffer now – as only then , I will benefit in my future .
My schedule is usually very packed , with lots of activities going on every day , even during the weekends and holidays . CCAs , projects , assignments , studies may be a burden for many of my friends , however for me , I treat them as challenges .
These challenges have taught me to manage my time well , to improve myself and to cope with my studies . Sometimes , I , too , feel like giving up ; to quit one of my CCAs , but this motivation within me and the encouragement from my peers helped me to persevere and endure the hardship . I hate to give up , I will push myself , I WILL DO WELL in whatever I am tasked to do . To begin with the end in mind is a good way to keep me motivated to endure and persevere . When I feel like giving up – I say I CAN – and think of the things that drive me to reach my goals , the things that make me hold on to my goals and to NEVER GIVE UP .
If I can , so can you !
