Fond memories of my time at Loth Lorien Montessori are still fresh. The playground with the old Jeep, that was probably the first time I had a near to life experience of a real car steering! This is where I learnt how to do my buttons and tie my laces. Plunging my feet into a bowl of paint and then putting an impression of my foot on a paper!
At the moment, I’m the Honorary Consul of Malaysia in Malawi and Group CEO, RAB Processors Group of Companies. I also Serve on various boards both Non-Government Organisations and Commercial enterprises.
IBTISAAM HANIF
My days at Nyasa Junior Academy can only be described as the time of my life, a beautiful collection of fun-filled years spent that now, looking back, leave me with dear memories. It was there where I learnt to swim, where I spent six fleeting years in the homely classrooms learning different lessons from my various teachers, where my passion for poetry took me to a climate change summit in South Africa. It was there where I learnt how to feed birds, how to plant trees and care for plants, how to protect my environment, my Earth, the only home I will ever know.
NJA taught me maths, literacy and science, but it also taught me how to channel the more artistic side of me through drama, creative writing, designing and craft and even cookery in my lower years. Nyasa Junior Academy equipped me with the essential knowledge I needed to flourish in my academic life, but it also left me with priceless life skills, for which I will eternally be grateful.
I am currently a premedical student at College of Medicine, aspiring to proceed with the MBBS program. My hope, at the end of it, is to specialize in surgery. Looking back, I think I’ve really come a really long way, from the chubby little toddler that I was in what used to be called Loth Lorien Montessori, to a teenage girl trying to navigate her career path. In my perspective, it should be an indication that a well-nurtured beginning can lead you anywhere you want to go.
