"I am proud to say that I have experienced "the uni experience" as a first-year student at TRSM. One of my biggest concerns was adjusting to the lifestyle and schedule of a university student. However, thanks to the numerous resources provided by TRSM, notably Ted Packs, I swiftly adapted to the significant changes that university life presented. Not only did my Ted Pack equip me with helpful resources, but it also facilitated the opportunity to meet many new people.
I have a keen interest in learning about others' journeys and experiences, so I actively participated in events organized by TRSM to meet new people. Undoubtedly, I have encountered numerous fantastic individuals throughout my first year at TRSM, and engaging with the community has been instrumental in achieving both personal and academic goals. Among the various events I attended, one of my favourites was the Charity Week Auction Gala hosted by Islamic Relief TMU. This event fostered a sense of community that brought me immense joy as I connected with like-minded individuals whom I share many common attributes with. It strengthened my sense of cultural and religious identity, providing a comforting feeling in a new environment and also providing me with a platform to help individuals in need.
Despite encountering some challenges, I have accomplished a great deal in my first year, from adapting to the new environment to forming new friendships and achieving academic success in my program. As I progress in my university journey, I am committed to further engaging with the remarkable community at TRSM and making a positive impact on those around me. The greatest lesson I've learned on this journey is to embrace the odds stacked against me and the accompanying pressure, as in the end, it's those who can withstand the most pressure that shines the brightest."
