Securities Commission Scholarship
It is a well-known fact that human beings are judged by their deeds. Of no doubt the most demonstrative deeds of individuals are their experience and achievements in life. It is very often said that the amount of every person’s achievements indicates the level of his integrity. However from my point of view, a person should be judged not only by his past achievements but also by his future aspiration. In the present paper I would like to describe my personal achievements, the ones I already gained in my life as well as those that I aspire to achieve in future.
At the age of 6, I have shown extraordinary problem solving skills and analytical skills. Mental arithmetic taught me how to calculate fast and it developed my interest in Mathematics. I have won so many mental arimethic competitions in International and National levels. At young age, I always have strong curiosity towards the surrounding environment. I asked my mum questions that she couldn’t answer like ‘why is the sky blue?’, ‘Does lion put sauce when eating meat?’ ‘Why my clothes getting smaller?’ My strong analytical skill has helped me to excel in my exams especially in Mathematics, Science, Comprehension and Accounting. I consistently got into the top 10 students during the exam in the primary school. Even though essay writing is never my strongest subject, I studied hard during the exam to make sure I can get good grades. In my Primary School Evaluation Test(UPSR), I scored 7 A’s. I was the primary school Mathematical Olympiad team and have won third prize in Perak. I have participated in the Invitation Round of the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools in Singapore for 2006 and 2007. For both years, I successfully obtained a Gold Award.
Throughout my primary and secondary school years, I have been exposed towards leadership skills and qualities. As young as 7 years old, I have started to develop and polish my leadership abilities in me which turn out it keeps developing

    I have taken a lot of leadership roles such as helping out at summer camps, in my 4-H club, in NJHS, and in karate. This quality carries over into my school life. Often, I become the leader in group projects, specifically in World Studies. In sixth grade, the Humanities Program did a Greek City State Olympics, and my group represented Rhodes. For this project, we had to design an event as well as create prizes for the winners. I took leadership for the prizes, creating wreaths. Similarly, in seventh grade, we did plays based on African folktales. My group of four was given the folktale “The Foolishness of the Ostrich.” When no one else was willing to play the ostrich, I took leadership and played the…

The development of my communication skills is arguably the most important thing that I have done in high school. It all began in a communications class that I took during my sophomore year. Our first assignment was to give an informational speech on a topic of your choice. Despite the fact that I was apprehensive about giving my speech I did amazing and scored a ninety-nine percent. I believe that this speech is what began my fascination with communications, interaction with other people, and the business world. My junior was my first year in my marketing class.
