The Voice

  Have you had those moments when you feel your voice has been drowned out by the voices of others?

You try to muster all your courage and energy to speak up, yet it fails you?

This is something many of us experience in our lives. For some, this is like a terminal disease that is hard to diagnose in order for us to find a cure. 

I was like that for a long time. I lacked the confidence to say anything in front of others. As a child, even in the classroom, I thought I will sound stupid if I say something. I would sit on the back bench and no other children noticed me. I remember the bullying and being alone.

It was as I started on my adult learning journey that I started to push myself. I used to read several self-development books and these books became my friends to change my perception of life. I can do it if I push myself. 

Slowly, during my adult education en route to my Master's and Doctorate studies, I changed my attitude. You can say that I was slow in my journey but I would not change anything because my growth has been immense. 

I attended numerous skills learning programs, and today I feel proud of the person that I have become. I have achieved more than I had planned in the past years. Alhamdulillah
