A Summary of My Life, My Education Plan, and My Career Aspiration

My name is Ahmad Safwan Afif and I stay in Ampang, Selangor. I am the youngest of three boys in my family and both of my parents are working. My father is the Deputy Director of Kuala Lumpur District Education Office while my mother works as a supervisor at the Armed Forces Staff College in Kuala Lumpur. Meanwhile, my eldest brother is currently doing his degree in Medicine in International Medical University and my second brother is in State University of New York of Buffalo, completing his degree in Biotechnology.

I did my primary education in Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Indah and scored 5 As in my UPSR. After that, I continued my study in Victoria Institution for 5 years and managed to get 8 As in my PMR and 9 As 1 B for my SPM examination. In my secondary school, I was actively involved in co-curricular activities and held a number of position in clubs and uniformed bodies. I was the president of Muslim Students’ Society and the treasurer of Inventor and F1 Club. Besides that, I was one of the founders of Rakan Muda Club and Committee Member of the Board of Chairman. These experiences had helped to cultivate my leadership quality and improve my communication skill

My experience in my school F1 team as manufacturing engineer had led me to be interested in the field of engineering especially mechanical. Hence, I plan to complete my pre-university examination and then proceed with the 4-year degree in engineering. It is my hope to further my study in top universities in United Kingdom such as Imperial College because I can be exposed to latest technology and system that are used there. My ultimate aim in my academic life would be to obtain a PhD in engineering as it can be a strong platform for me to achieve my goals in my future career.

In future, I would love to work in high profile companies such as Proton or Perodua. Besides, it is my aspiration to help our government to reach the target of becoming a developed country by year 2020. I believed that my expertise can be utilised in various fields such as industrial and infrastructural development. Lastly, if I am awarded with this scholarship, I will do my best not to disappoint my sponsor, my family, and myself. With God permission, I will aim to reach the greatest height in the field of engineering.
