#SmallChangesBigDifference
To whom much is given, much is expected - Abang Azri
Abang Azri - He's awesome
Today is 2nd Ramadan. I hope that we will make full use of this holy month to gain Allah's reda and to change to the better InshaAllah. This is the month where all our du'as will be granted. Amin.
I am truly inspired by the quote told by Abg Azri during our stay in SMU (A) Darus Salam, Kuala Krai last Saturday. He told us that we have to be grateful for what we have. We are blessed with talents, wealth and knowledge compared to these kids. Hence, we are expected to give back to the society as a sign that we are grateful of what we have now.
Honestly, I thought that this two days will be a brief stay and I don't expect much of excitement and anticipation from the students. However, they opened my eyes. Their spirit and hard work to learn and to succeed was by far beyond my expectation. They were amazing. Not giving up. Asking lots of Science, Math and History questions. Trying to understand everything that I explained. I was a bit blur at first because their Science was taught in Malay. I had a bit of a problem to translate the English terms into Malay. haha
To portray my experience into words, I would like to share Affan's post. " I came back yesterday getting more than what I had bargained for : new friendships, new skills and above all, a deep realisation that the education gap we have in Malaysia is just too wide. "
True, our education gap is worse than we can imagine. I was shocked as well as my friends. The school was so lucky to have such dedicated Sir Faiez and full of hardworking students. The students need to be give equal chance and exposure as much as the students living in the city. Their capability are beyond average. They just need some opportunities.
It was a very precious experience for me. As a first timer in this kind of thing, my two days stay was simply awesome. I'll show some pictures. Basically, my journey started on Thursday night. I went to the school with Syafiq, Nazual and Aiman Kamal. We reached there at midnight.
On Friday, the starting event was ice breaking. Puchong lead the Xi Shua Shua dance. At first, the students didn't give good response but then later on, we saw them enjoying the dance ad even asked for a second time. :) Sir Faiez was the teacher that initiate this program. Such a dedicated teacher. Graduated from University of Warwick. Cool kan.. Once you graduated, spare some time to give back to the society. They need us. Maybe we think it as a very small matter but in these students' life, we don't know how much have we made a difference.
The program escalated quickly with lots of fun talks and activities held. Goal setting, Options after SPM, Studying techniques, Interview tips, Fun with English, Muhasabah diri and so much more. The students eventually engaged themselves to what we want to deliver to them. Unknowingly, their spirit seemed to rise. They were determined to succeed in PT3, SMU and SPM.

When I was about to go back, one girl reached my hand and told me to stay there a bit longer. How I wish I can help more. I heard one student told Syafiq ' Lepas ni abg xde kitorang xsemangat dah la.' Awhh hehe
Adik-adik,
We are just people in which Allah send to boost your burning spirits. Keep going and don't give up. Don't ever think that you can't do it. Boleh punya dapat A Math and Englsih. :)
Dedicated Sir Faiez
The program ended at 12 am. Abg Azri and Abg Faiez took us out to lepak2 and tengok bola together. It was nice and chilling even-though I was the only girl lol. I missed them already. Hoping to join them in other projects some other time. InshaAllah
