I have joined St. John’s International School (SJIS) in 2014 when I was 13. It was completely a different environment for me to adapt to because I was originally from a Chinese government school. SJIS teachers were really friendly, supportive and understanding throughout my studies, and I really appreciated that. Although there were rough times, the teachers have never failed to guide and support me from all the limitations and struggle that I have faced. SJIS has encouraged me to join in interactive club and sports activities, and they have a wide range of choices that we could choose from based on our preference or interest.

I joined Carom Club because I was curious of the tricks to win the game besides my interest in mastering the game. It was indeed a great experience learning carom. I’ve fallen in love with the sport football ever since I was 4 years old, and that has made me to join the team....pg 2

I am currently playing football 5 days in a week in Salford,

Manchester. Besides being a student, my aim is to become a

national football player.

Set a goal in your mind and be

committed. Nothing is impossible in life.

Be passionate of what you are doing and never give up.

I’m yet to achieve my

dreams and I believe you

can too.

I will be joining Sunway College next year to pursue my studies in Diploma in Business Administration while representing my country as a football player.

The facilities in SJIS back then were sufficient but recently, when I went back to SJIS for an Alumni Dinner, I have to solely agree that SJIS has improved a lot in terms of facilities, and I’m really happy for all the students who are still studying in SJIS.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers and staff members who have taught me and made me to become a better person today.
