My Life As Engineering Student Challenges And Satisfaction

I am a graduate from University Technology of Malaysia (UTM) who studied Electical/Electronic engineering. My campus is located in the South of Peninsular Malaysia, Skudai, Johor Bahru, which is 300km away from my home. I had lived there for 4 years and graduated from the School of engineering in 2018. Living in Johor was not so much different from my hometown. So, I didn't take much time adapting to life in Johor Bahru

I faced failures, I had my bad days, I got frustrated sometimes, I thought many times to give in too. But, gratefully, I keep going. I keep going because I want to know what the ending feels like. At least I have a story for my children to tell

Engineering is no higher than any other course. It might be tough, but you know what, everyone has different capability and endurance level. Everyone might have their reason why they choose engineering. To me, the moment I accepted my scroll, I took a responsibility to serve the community

I ask a du'a from everyone who reads this—may I be consistent with whatever I choose to do and give everything I have back to the community
