“Winners never quit,quiters never win”. I always hold to that quote in every single thing that I do. I work so hard in aiming or achieving something. My past has taught me that I have to wake up from my falling. Striving towards excellence will always be my objective now and forever. Well, that is me, Nurul Aiza Amira Binti Mohd Fadzli. 26 December 1993 was the lucky day for my family because I was born on that day. I was born at Hospital Besar Mentakab, Pahang.

            Born as the second child of 4 siblings in my family, I have always been taught to be a responsible sister, kind-hearted, an optimistic, honest and determined person. From I was in years 4, I realize that my parents always place a big hope upon me to succeed in my entire life. That was because I always got the best result in every test and examination from I was in years 1 until years 6. My family is not classified as rich but we always happy with our life and lived simply. My father work as a teacher and same goes to my mother. They worked as teachers for 20 years. I always told to myself that I wanted to change our life to a better life.

            I finished my primary school years with 4A and 1B in my UPSR. My parents were not satisfied with my result because they hope that I could get full A’s in my examination. From that moment, I only got offer to continue my study in SMK Seri Jengka. Eventhough the school is a famous and brilliant boarding school, but I actually hope that I could continue my study in any SEKOLAH BERASRAMA PENUH (SBP). However, I knew that it was impossible thing because I only got 4A’s in my examination. So, I enrolled myself as usual at the school. I determined to prove to my parents that I could become an excellent student one day. “Failed once does not mean failure forever”. I believe on this quote. Finally, I got flying colours for my PMR result. I got 9A’s and my parents were so happy and proud of me. Praise to God. I have learnt the importance of trustworthy in friendship,family, God, self and how do all the values related each others. I also got ANUGERAH MENTERI BESAR PAHANG for my achievement.

            “An intelligent mind always in a healthy body”. My mother always said this to me. Actually, I am not an active student when I was in my primary school. I only involve myself in sports when I was in primary six. I play badminton and netball after my parents ask me to do so. I only active in Nasyid and story telling started in years 2. When I was in Form 1, I realize that I could not involve in story telling only but I have to be an active student in sports also. Start from that moment, I always followed my friends and play netball every evening. When my teacher asked me to go for the selection, I play my best and finally I was selected to join my school team. From that moment, I used this advantage to perform my best skill to go further in this sport. Praise to God because I got the chance to represent the district to state level in netball tournament. I showed my best in every tournament I’ve joined.

            Besides that, I also joined any camp for Girls Scout Unit. I was selected again to represent my distric to state level for this camp. My luck came on me when I won the first prize for marching contest. This camp had taught me that cooperation was very essential in order for us to get our goals in anything we dream about. As a dedicated student, I have chosen to participate in state-level for anti-drug camp that was held at Lata Jarum, Raub. Standing in front of others student that also joined this camp had taught me on how to overcome the crowd-fears.

            Finally, I managed to fulfill my dreams to continue my study in SEKOLAH BERASRAMA PENUH (SBP). I went to Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah when I was in Form 4. I believe on myself that I could achieve my goals if I struggle and do my best. I perfomed as peer counselor in my school. This position made me more motivated to change myself to a better student. By this position, I have to be a good adviser and also a good listener. I put this position as a challenge to me and also as a motivator to change myself better. In line with our moto “Help themselves to help others”. I am also a person who like to try a new thing. I love music but unfortunately I have to drop my involvement as a Nasyid members because there was no girls team in my school. So, when my teachers asked students for Gamelan team, I determined to take part in this team. I had to compete with other students to remain in this team. So, I do my best and finally my teacher choose me as Gong player.

            When I was in Form 5, my mother forbade me from involved in any competition because I have to sit for my SPM that year. So, I only focus on my study and try to improve my weaknesses in every subject. I am happy with my trial result because I got 7A 3B IC but I knew that I could do better for my SPM. I struggled to achieve my goals. Eventhough I was in the last class, but I could prove to my teachers that I also can achieve 11A in my SPM. Praise to God because gave me the brilliant and happiness result to me. Once again I made my parents proud of me when I got 2A+ 6A 3A- in my SPM.

            My senior remind me to apply for MARA scholarship. From the encouragement by my family and also my teachers, I applied for MARA scholarship. Whenever people asked me for my further study, I just said that I love to continue my account subject and also Syariah. So, I applied Islamic Banking course which is related to Syariah subject. I always asked my cousin who also study in this course to explain me about Islamic Banking course. Besides that, I do some research about this course to make me more understand before I continue in university. If I am selected for the scholarship by MARA, I determined to study hard and prove that I can succeed in this course.

            To further my view of future, I plan to continue my study in Yarmouk University in Jordan. The primary reason for why I choose this university was that because of its excellent academic performance. It will be nice if I can fulfill my dream to study there. I hope MARA can make my dream into reality.

           

            For my career planning, I wish I can be one of the Shariah Advisory Council at Bank Negara Malaysia. This job is responsible to advise on matters in relation to Islamic banking and takaful businesses or any other Islamic finance area that is supervised and regulated by BNM. So, I really hope that MARA can give me the chance to prove that I can be one of the member of Shariah Advisory Council.
