hai semua !!
Basically this is my first ever entry im going to write and its all about my experience applying for yayasan khazanah scholarship.
First of all, i would like to apologize if this entry is a bit messy and hectic since its my first time writing this stuff lol.
⚠️⚠️ to add some fact here, yayasan khazanah ni taja semua jenis course in linked universities dia KECUALI MEDIC, DENTISTRY AND VETERINARY ⚠️⚠️
i taktau la ni untuk my batch je ke tapi cmtu lah apa yg interviewer tu cakap time stage 3 haritu. and you know what i taktau pun hahahahah terkejut gila weh
So time korang nak isi form tu, pilih bebetul jangan sampai silap letak tau!!
To be honest, the main reason i write this entry is because i only found a few blogs about others experience. for me its really important for other applicants reference. So i made a blog to write my own and help those future applicants. Thank me later k !
Alright , so i applied for local university scholar called as khazanah watan scholar right after spm result keluar. fyi, yayasan khazanah ni ada dua jenis scholar which are khazanah global and khazanah watan.
as the name itself, watan is for the locals uni and global for the overseas uni.
Aightt lets beginnnn !!
1) the application stage
Alright so this is the first thing you need to do.
Like other scholar, you need to fill up the application form including all your personal, parents, academic and cocurricular informations. Halah macam biasa.
BUT for yayasan khazanah ni dia special sikit sebab you kena buat ESSAY for your application. The limit is 1000 words. Kalau lebih you tak boleh submit that essay. I tak ingat ada masa ke tak sebab i buat draft dulu before isi then i just copy and paste there.
So here is my draft essay, tapi ni more than 1000 words. Lepastu baru i cut itu ini.
I pun tak sangka i boleh shortlisted sebab i literally wrote this essay a few hours before the due date and i was on the road back to my home from kampung. Dengan takde line lagi kat highway sighh
"You should take this course"
"No one in our family ever pursued this field"
"I know you can do well and even better"
"I would be really proud of you if you pursue in this"
This is how they react after knowing my astonish result in UPSR. I have a bright and shine ahead of me they said. The annoyance and disgust feeling started to grow bigger in me every time I heard that sentences whenever they asked me about my plans. Why would they downgrade other fields? It is my future, why would anyone else pick it instead of me? I believe that they tried to brainwash me into becoming the holy humankind entitled as doctor. It's definitely me being rebellious and immature as ever in the past. As I hate the pressure given on me, I tried to abstain myself from stepping into any path parallel to medicine or related. However, all my plans had downfall when I was selected into science stream class in high school. Little did I know joining this class would build a whole new impressions also opened my eyes on how fascinating it is to know about human and sciences. I started to accept the fact and fate that was written for me as biology kept amazed me every time I learn deeper and deeper. To add, the traits of being optimistic made me started to think "why not?" and started to keen interest in study to further in Foundation of Science and tertiary level in Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS). Knowing the struggles ahead, I could say interest and passion is not only the main reason to pursue this field, but the support system and healthy environment would be the most important thing to be a doctor of medicine. The encouragement I received from the very beginning has became the backbone of my struggled to the best of me in achieving success. Next, my interests toward biology subject grew wider as I joined lots of post-spm programmes to gain early exposure on the life of medical students and the subjects itself. Moreover, my love in watching movies lead me to watch medical dramas such as Grey Anatomy and Romantic Dr Teacher Kim. It does sounds funny to think how I get to learn more about medical in such way, but yes it is what it is.
I do acknowledge the fact that those scripted acts are obviously very far from the reality of being a medical staffs. It would be as different as night and day. I know being a medical staffs meaning that they need to sacrifice their sweat and tears, precious sleeping hours and sadly meal hours. To add, its going to be real hell once they enter the houseman ship era so they must be extra tough. They might not catching up with the news around as they learn new things everyday to face different patients with different diagnosis. In addition, the hospital will be the home for every doctors as they spend more time there especially during 36-hours on call, not to mention the experience of those in the Emergency Department in dealing with flooding patients with traumas. All I could say is being a doctor needed you to be physically and mentally strong because you will not encounter with nice patients only, sometimes they might getting on your nerves due to their unstable conditions.
In order for me to endure those moments of my future, I believe that I need to overcome the rough challenges smoothly from now on. I would say the hardest phase in my 18 years lifetime was during the SPM era. It's all started when we've done the last paper of form 4 final examination. The realisation hit me hard when I felt like I would fail the entire papers as I did not give my all. I felt useless and stressed out for the whole week. The worst thing is my friends and I were having fun and wasting time together back in the school, yet I was still left behind. I was intimidated by their bombastic results after that. I know the only solution was definitely, to put more efforts than them. I would rather go out of my comfort zone to reach or surpass their level. First thing first, I did sacrifice my desire to sleep and keep focus on track. Whenever we have leisure time, I tried to pack it with revising and understanding the topics that we have learned. While the others chose to sleep in the evening, I would seized the opportunity to do exercises on my own. I woke up at 4 am to make a quick recap on study. On the other hand, I put all my ego and shame away to ask for help whenever I felt confused. I rooted for myself by always remember that being stupid is more shameful than being shy for asking questions. Thankfully I was sent to a boarding school because the teachers and friends were always supporting each other and helped me a lot in my studies. As a result , a gained an excellent result in SPM which was 11 As. To be honest, I was not born gifted and being an average student among the excellences was not easy at all. In addition, my parents did not get the opportunity to further their study to tertiary level due to financial problem. As I grow up, I realised that people always looking down on them and I ought to change that fortune by being successful in life.
Apart from being an academic striver, I do know that being cocurricular achiever also important to enhance your soft skills. As a head girl of our hostel executive councils society, I gained lots of experience in dealing with problems. and difficulties. For instance, I must perform my duty regardless times. I remember waking up in 5 am just to unlock a junior's locker with a cutter due to her own recklessness. I also learnt how to communicate and discuss some matters with others by pointing out my ideas and taking others perspective in community. I believe that being active in a meeting will make a good impression to myself and sharpen my leadership development.
As a conclusion, I am certainly sure that I will doing well in my studies. I have a few goal that I must achieve after graduation. A dream that I wish to become reality soon. I want to have my own clinic in my hometown, Bagan Datuk. I noticed that small town does not have a clinic to treat elderly except from the small government clinic that always full and very far. I want to dedicate myself for the needy by offering nice facilities with full consideration toward the patient. I want to feel how joyful it is when patients smiling and thanking me as a doctor. I want to experience it myself and devoting myself to the society. Maturity also made me realised that it is not about the money, or names, or popularity. It is about contributing something that I love and I know to people who needed. And I am sure of it.
