My name is Syahrain Binti Zainal Abidin. I am an 18 years old girl pursuing a Business Management diploma at KPTM.

I come from a small community of government servants living quarters in Sepang, KLIA. Both my parents work as government servants to the Ministry of Agriculture of Selangor. They are currently working at Serdang. I have five siblings of sisters. My oldest sister has completed her studies in Hotel and Catering and has successfully obtained her diploma at Merlimau Polytechnics, Malacca. My second sister is currently attending IPG Kampus Perempuan Melayu, Malacca pursuing a degree in Preschool Education. My third sister is also studying Preschool Education at UNITI College in Port Dickson and finally my youngest sister is currently a Form Four student studying at SMK Kompleks KLIA. Looking back on my days as a primary and secondary school student, I must say that I have successfully obtained more than a satisfactory result in the previous national examinations. For instance, I have obtained a total of three As, one B and one C in UPSR (Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah), a total of three As, three Bs and two Cs in PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah) and a total of two A-, six B+ and a C+ in last years SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) examination. Other than that, I am also an active student in extra-curricular activities at school. Some of my noted roles are dated back from when I was Form One of which when I entered the schools marching competition as a member of Puteri Islam and in Form Five again as a member of Pengakap (Boys Scout). As soon as the examination (SPM) was over, I enrolled myself into GIATMARA choosing a course in sewing clothes and have officially finished it prior to entering KPTM. The reason I decided to pursue a diploma in Business Management is because I want to know about the marketing world and the vital strategies that are needed in order to make a business work. Furthermore, my oldest sister has been dreaming of opening up a bakery shop to satisfy her passion of baking cakes and cookies. By obtaining a diploma in Business Management, it will help me to learn more about business and eventually will help me to help my sister to manage her business in the future. In shaa Allah. I have been told that Business Studies is one of the toughest subjects offered by any universities and colleges. I have doubts at first on choosing this subject as my career path but thanks to my family I finally understood the reality of business world. In accordance of helping my sister in building her business, I would also hoping to become one of the successful businesswomen in Malaysia by opening a boutique to market my own line and brand of clothing and therefore to follow the lead of our great Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) who was a very successful merchant in his days. Thank you.
