I want to share some happy news with all of you. My student, Harith has finally received his\u00a0long-awaited offer letter to join the Army!\u00a0He has been waiting for almost a year\u00a0\u2013\u00a0with a lot of patience and perseverance.\u00a0He is currently doing his 6 months of training.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so special about Harith?<\/p>\n

Harith is a student who has taught me a lot about life values. When I\u00a0graduated from university, I had no idea what I wanted in\u00a0terms of a career. I have a degree in Biology, but I can\u2019t imagine myself working in\u00a0a lab conducting research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Harith, however, has known what he wants from the very beginning. He wants to become one thing and one thing only; A SOLDIER.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And it\u00a0shows. Being a former top cadet at school himself, he helped train junior cadets until his school\u00a0represented Penang in the national competition this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

You see, that\u2019s the very definition of passion. His tireless effort has been translated into remarkable results which can only be achieved if you really love what you do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I believe that one day, Harith will become a top soldier (he told me that he ultimately wants to become a paratrooper). I\u2019m very proud to have been part of his journey to chase his dream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Many of my cadets have been inspired by Harith themselves, and I\u2019m excited to be part of their journey too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
