The Fellowship

The culture of learning, personal development and collaboration in the Fellowship was very valuable to me. We learnt from watching each other, sharing our successes, our struggles and working through them together. But most importantly, we leaned on each other’s passion and motivation to give the best to our students.

The Fellowship certainly gives you people skills that may not easily be learned in a corporate environment. From improving in time management to learning how to cope with lots of work, I saw value in the Fellowship that I never truly realised until I transitioned over to CIMB.

After graduating Monash, I applied for PwC & got rejected. After the Fellowship, PwC contacted ME – they recognised the skill set I developed as a teacher.

There are moments when I catch myself wondering if all that persistence I put in was worth it. A year of my life spent challenge after challenge, only to be faced with more challenges, navigating the challenges of leading a classroom. But now, after experiencing what it means to be a Fellow first-hand, I know for a fact that it was worth it.

I was right to have been so sure about joining this movement and I was right about Fellows truly making an impact. So all those hours of trying and struggling – they were tough – but they were also definitely more than worth it.
