Studying while working puts me in a different kind of pressure but it also pushes me to do harder. It molds me to become competitive and confident, equipped with all the knowledge and wisdom that I acquire from ISASS. It thought me that conquering every challenge along the way will transform you to your best self. It’s a long and challenging journey but definitely worth it.

My classes with ISASS have imparted to me that in starting-up or running your own business- even if you’re doing the right thing, if you’re not moving forward, constantly pushing yourself to reach beyond your comfort zone, then you’re in trouble. The competition will overtake you.

Being a learner in this course is a pleasure to me as it expands my knowledge and helps me with my entrepreneurial preparations. For sure, I can apply these learnings easily to my future job or my future business.

I learnt to never give up on something that you really desire, no matter how difficult it is. There might be obstacles and difficult times on the way but you can survive. No matter what goal you are trying to achieve, always go extra mile! Success will come. You just have to trust the process.

As one of the youngest in this batch, I thought I would be left behind, but I learned that I could achieve anything and dream even bigger. My course made me realize the importance of communication, appreciate the culture of different places, and that there is a lot of opportunities in tourism industry. Through ISASS, I was able to develop my perspective in life and pushed me to go out of my comfort zone. Thank you, ISASS!

Working while studying is a big challenge to take, but it was possible, I can prove that. Pandemic hit the world and the new normal way of studying was introduced. It was hard for me as I get used to the traditional way of learning but then I did my best and adopt to this new normal and I finished it and it was addictive that I wanted to learn more this way.
