WONG HUI LIN

After SPM, I was thrilled to receive the Jeffrey Cheah Entrance Scholarship to pursue A-Levels at Sunway College. Despite this exciting beginning, I found myself uncertain about my next steps, until I discovered the Sunway Student Ambassadors (SSA). Joining the Pals Department has opened a new dimension of college life that textbooks could not teach, where it is no longer a routine of going to class and heading home. 

​

Through SSA, I gained exposure and valuable experience in event planning, emceeing, and engaging with external stakeholders. These experiences have strengthened my communication and organisational skills over time. But what left a lasting impact was our outreach to Rumah Hope and Rumah Juara, SSA’s long-term beneficiaries. Seeing the children grow and thrive mirrored my own journey and reminded me of the joy in giving back. This inspired me to continue with SSA for another term, even as I entered a new phase after A-Levels.

​

I chose to continue my studies with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) under the Sunway-ICAEW Global Accountant Scholarship. While I was grateful that my parents were able to support me, receiving a full scholarship made it even more meaningful as it allowed me to ease their burden and take a step closer to my goals.

​

ICAEW is a prestigious and globally recognised qualification that combines exams with practical work experience to shape future business leaders, entrepreneurs, accountants, and auditors. Its approach aligns closely with my career aspirations, providing a strong foundation for the path I hope to take. Even though the course is academically demanding, I’ve made it a personal goal to keep giving back to the community as a way of showing gratitude for everything I’ve received, through the 5Ts: Time, Talent, Treasure, Tie and Testimonies.

To the readers of #MySunwayStory, there’s so much waiting for you at Sunway College and Sunway University. You don’t have to be exceptional to begin. Just begin, and let the journey lead you somewhere you will be proud of.
