I have always loved Science but it’s really a broad subject and I didn’t know what I wanted to do in particular. I didn’t know which direction to go until a few years ago, when a childhood friend of mine passed away due to leukaemia. This incident has motivated me to take on this journey to work hard and to contribute all my effort into cancer research.

The people around me inspire me everyday. Everyone goes through a different battle, and seeing them continue to strive in life is my source of motivation.

My greatest accomplishment was emerging as a champion with my basketball team. Another great accomplishment of mine is obtaining a scholarship for my degree here in Sunway University, where I am able to share #MySunwayStory. Everyone I have met in Sunway University has been a blessing so far as there are plenty of top achievers here too.

Here’s a little advice; don’t give up when things get tough and I promise you, you will thank yourself when it’s over.
