MY JOURNEY BEGIN (SALWA SHAHMINAN)

Hello everyone, It's me again, Salwa. I assumed that you guys had read my earlier post right? Thank you for all warm wishes and supporting words for me. It do makes me happy and I love it so much! Actually, I don't have any idea to write about for this second post because  I feel tired for past 3 days and I feel exhausted and fatigue but no worries, I'll be sharing my experience in UNIMAS. So, hoepfully you guys will love it and please keep on reading.

My father and I on the registration day. (I MISS HIM)

I want to pursue my studies in Sarawak only because my father won't allowed me to get into any other universities except UNIMAS. So I just follow what he want and most of my choice in UPU, I just put the UNIMAS programme. At first, I quite sad because I really want to study in Universiti Malaysia Sabah because I really love Sabah so much. But, when I think about it again it is such a grateful thing to me because I get a chance to study in my own state and I will not feel the homesick-thingy but surely I miss home too (longing for homecooking and my fluffy cats). I get really excited when I know I got my UPU result which is my first choice. My first choice is the Counselling programme, the second was Psychology and the third one is Linguistic. This is my top of the list that I wished I can get one of it so now I really got the first choice! Can you guys feel me?

After the student's vow event, I'm now officially one of the UNIMAS student and I'm really proud of it. I can belive that I managed to be in here and it's like a dream come true. My journey had just begun and I don't know if I'm able to suvive for this semester and the upcoming 4 years also. It's quite tough for me at first especially when it comes to find our class on the first day.It was an interesting stuff to do because apart from the mission to find the class, I also get the chance to sight-seeing around UNIMAS. I like to see the buildings in here because it is unique and the design also fantastic! The times flies so fast and I can't believed that I've almost 3 months staying here and still counting for the best days to come. Pray for me that I will stay strong and keep myself motivated guys! And I pray for you guys too don't worry.

Having this matric card is like an honour for me

I am forever grateful to be here, to be a part of UNIMAS and still looking forward for my own knowledge and experience. I think the most challenging part in UNIMAS is making new friends because I'm an introvert and tends to get anxious to greet with people especially in a new environment. After this 3 months, I only have few friends because I'm not a person who will be the first one to talk with someone that I just met. So if you guys want to be friend with me, I would love to accept you as my friends. Pardon my face if it's look like I'm a cold-hearted person but trust me it just my normal face reaction only. You can say hello if you see me somewhere and don't be shy.

Last but not least,what I learnt from Basic Helping Skills is I learn how to accept other people as a unique human being. Besides that, I also learn some skills and techniques to become a professional helper which is known as a counsellor. I want to be a better person at first by helping myself but at the same time having the courage to help others. I want to help people to gain more motivation and helps them finding way back to solve their problems. It might be hard for this firts year but surely I can be the best among the best people if I have the urge to keep on doing the thing that I love. I think that's all for now and I hope this post wouldn't make you guys to feel bored and I pray that you guys will always be happy in no matter what situation you're in. We are in this journey together, let's walk together and keep moving forward. Stay positive!

With love, 

Salwa Shahminan
