Israel Shani
I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the National Institute of Transport. I could not have made it this far without the support of The School Fund family, which has been a ladder enabling me to climb step by step toward my dreams. Throughout my journey, I have encountered numerous challenges and setbacks. These experiences taught me that every success story comes with struggles, some of which I felt I didn’t deserve, while others were the result of my own mistakes. During my A-levels, I faced failure due to a lack of focus. With no one nearby to help, I had to rely on my faith and resilience to persevere. This experience taught me to never give up; to learn from everything life throws my way, and to understand that every choice comes with responsibility.
My parents have sacrificed so much for me, which has been my greatest motivation. The School Fund family’s support has also been a strong reminder of my commitment to keep pushing forward, step by step, to honor the trust they placed in me. I am grateful for the friends who encouraged me along the way, reminding me that I am not alone.
Although I have not always seen myself as a natural leader, I served as a school leader for three years in O-level, which taught me that leadership requires sacrifice, be it time, hobbies, or personal priorities. Being the eldest in my family carries a similar responsibility; it’s essential to make thoughtful decisions to guide those following me on the right path. Through these experiences, I aim to make a positive impact on my family, friends, and the community around me.
