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.

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.

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.

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!
