AFS : KL-YES 18 ; My Journey Until I Was Chosen.

Assalamualaikum , guys.
Sis kembali. Kind of busy living my last month in USA. Btw , I’m coming back to Malaysia next month. I’M SADDDDDD !! But , consistently being a positive person right now. Hehe.
K k focus on our topic today which is my journey in AFS Malaysia until I was chosen. Ramai yang tanya , “Eh cemana boleh terpilih” , “Tetibe je dah ada kat USA budak kecik ni” , and so on. K actually , I’m an exchange student under KL-YES dari AFS Malaysia , which is fully sponsored program. So , in case to get chosen into this program is quite hard. Only 39 people among more than hundreds student all over Malaysia ware chosen this year to experience American culture. Alhamdulillah , I’m quite lucky.
Actually , there are a few steps or phases that I’ve been through before I fly to USA with my beloved batchmates , YES’18 .

How did I know about this program ?
My mentor in my youth club , Mr. Armizam came to my house to tell me about this. Persatuan Belia G2 kiranya macam adik beradik dengan Persatuan Gen Y. So , last year , two members on their club were chosen to join KL-YES 2017. So , they inspired us to try it. Tbh , at the first time , I just tried it for fun and create new friends all over Malaysia. My confidence level was too low at that time. Just berserah pada rezeki Allah. Orang kata rezeki tak pernah tersalah alamat. So masetu niat dalam hati , kalau tak dapat , jangan sedih and focus for SPM.

First Interview : Johor Chapter
Ni laa antara kawan-kawan seperjuangan sis

First step , My friends and I went to an interview for Johor chapter. It was held at Johor Bahru during Ramadan sis . K ramai tanya apa je yang diorang tanya masa interview nanti. This is a few tips for you guys okay.
  1. BE YOURSELF
  2. BE CONFIDENT
  3. Answer ALL questions as wise as you can.
  4. BE POLITE
  5. Predict any possible question that MIGHT be ask and give the WISEST answer.

The things that I always tell myself is :
   “ The reason why they held an interview is they want to choose the right person. If you’re not chosen , it doesn’t mean that you’re not good enough. Bukan rezeki awak kali ini.”

It is really helpful to be positive and betulkan niat. At least if you’re not chosen , today , you make connection with other students and teenagers in Malaysia. Rezeki berkawan ni juga suatu nikmat yang tak terhingga bagi sis.

National Selection Camp : KL-YES 2018
Paling dirindui - kind , sweet and helpful friends all over Malaysia
My beloved group members. Alhamdulillah 3 out of 13 passed.
TEAM !!

Alhamdulilah , kali ni dapat pergi next stage. I’M SOOOOO HAPPY , NOT only because of getting next opportunity to do better on interview, but I got to meet many sweet people. The reason why I said ‘sweet people’ , it is because everytime kau jumpa sesiapa pun even tak kenal benda pertama mesti SENYUM and start berkenalan. Walaupun lepas beberapa jam lepastu , SENYUM dan tanya benda yang sama. This 3 days and 2 nights camp was held at Crystal Crown Hotel in PJ. Kat sini laa , diuji communication skill and others. And also we have another interview. Ingat lagi masa lepas interview , sedih yakmat sebab rasa macam tak buat dengan terbaik. Down sampai ke malam. But , still have fun. So , no hal. Kepada yang terpilih join national selection camp ni , satu je nak pesan , amik tahu pasal Malaysia and global. Pengetahuan am tuu upgrade yaa rakan rakan. (Even tak pergi interview , memang lumrah nak jadi knowledgeable kena ambil tahu. Ambil tahu dan ambil berat tentang isu isu semasa ini bukan termasuk ‘membawang’ yaa guys). For those yang dah sampai tahap ni , usaha laa sebaik-baiknya sebab ni dikira level terakhir. Ingat! Be yourself and do your best.

I think , untuk entry kalini , cukup laa kot. Doa , usaha , ikhtiar dan tawakal. Yang penting ,kalau tak terpilih , jangan sedih , banyak lagi rezeki kat luar sana. Ini bukan pengakhirannya. Ada je peluang ke luar negara yang lain. Goodluck gang !! Thank you. XOXO !
