“I’m in the fourth and final year of my course, and stepping into university at 19 was my first real leap out of my comfort zone. Adapting to a new environment, living independently, and keeping up with studies wasn’t easy, but over time, I found my rhythm.

“Receiving a scholarship in my second year eased my financial worries and helped me stay focused. I also served as a Peer-to-Peer facilitator, supporting others while learning to manage my own responsibilities. It was challenging, but it reminded me that growth is never a solo journey.

“Beyond academics, being Vice Treasurer of the CCS Club allowed me to connect with others and gain valuable experiences. Along the way, I found supportive lecturers and meaningful friendships that shaped my journey.

“As graduation approaches, I feel more prepared, confident, and ready for what’s next.”- Kong Yin Heng, Civil and Construction Engineering student
