Being an orphan in my young age was not only teaches me the

meaning of independence but also makes me even stronger facing

every obstacle in life of ordinary person. I never saw my

father since he left for unknown reason when I was a baby.

When I was 2 years old my mother left me together with my

brother with my grandparents and travelled abroad since my

fathers loss was too much for her. I got to know my mother

when I was six and I spent just 10 months with her as she

passed away in an accident when I was 13. My full name is

Norfaezah Suhaimi and Dr.Faezah, that is what people will

address me one day as I am truly interested to be a doctor in the future. On 24th January 1993, I was born at Hospital Queen

Elizabeth Kota Kinabalu.

The real me was potrayed when I joined Mara Junior Science

College (MJSC). When I was in my previous government secondary

school, I used to be a quiet girl who enjoyed reading books,

invisible, unknown and only have small circle of friends. This

is because I have transferred to a few schools during my lower

secondary form. Thus, I never had the chance to show who

really I am to others for always been in a new surroundings,

new peoples and new place. I found that it was not easy to

adapt to a new surrounding environment especially for a

growing teenagers like me. Things change when I entered MJSC

Kota Kinabalu. Here I have the opportunity to be involved in

many co-curricular activities. There, I was given the chance

to show my talent in leadership as I was selected and given

the trust to hold a high position in three major clubs in the

college. I became the Vice President of Red Crescent Society ,

Vice President of Science Club and also the Vice President of

Petanque Club. Apart from that, I now have the chance to

represent school for various competitions. I represented MJSC

Kota Kinabalu for Mathematics Carnival and Petanque games.

My interest in being a doctor begins since I was five years

old as I used to think that my great grandmother was a doctor,

but she was not one. People around my village often seek for

her whenever they sick especially for those mother who

pregnant. She had delivered a lot of babies in the past years

ago as during her time there were no health facilities such as

health clinic nearby. Her contribution to others had inspired

me to be a certificated doctor and my strong determination had

started since I was in primary school. My experience

participating in Health Quiz Competition in Sabah State Level

when I was in primary six encouraged me to be more committed

to achieve my dream. I pursue my interest when I joined and

actively involved in the Red Crescent Society during my

secondary school.

In order to achieve my ambition, I had proved my excellence in

the aspect of academics as I managed to get 7As in my PMR .

Time flied rapidly and the subjects became harder and harder.

Once again, I strengthened my spirit and my resolution, and I

believed in myself, and in my own abilities to achieve the

best result for my Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM).harder and

harder. I took on the science stream where I had to manage all

9 subjects in two years time. Through my own effort, I manage

to get 9As for my SPM.

I believe the starting point of my career is SPM.

My 9As is

the ticket for me to apply for scholarships so that I can

further my studies in the medicine course in order to become a

doctor. After doing some researches, Royal College of Surgeon,

Ireland really caught my attention as it is one of the leading

medical institution in the world and if I am given the chance

to study in oversea, this university will be my first choice.

I know that this university is committed in providing the most

up-to-date facilities and resources for the study of medicine

and health science. After that, I will do my houseman ship for

two years before I can become a registered medical

practitioner. I would devote myself as a doctor who is fully

committed to her duty of serving the nation and country. At

the same time, the invaluable experiences that I will gain

throughout the years would also help prepare myself before I

could proceed further in becoming a specialist.

The next step is that after I have gotten enough experiences,

I would like to do my masters and become a specialist in

pediatrician. Pediatrician specialises in the diagnosis,

treatment, and prevention of childhood diseases. It is

necessary for children to be handled with pediatrician and not

by general doctor because these physicians understanding and

extra training they have as it relates to children's health.

Children do not always manifest the same symptoms as adults,

even when dealing with the same disease an adult may have.

Thus, I am feeling very enthusiastic in becoming a part of

medical team that really concern about children care.

Last but not least, I am really hopes that my passion for

medical field will enable me to be given a chance to take up

this course.
