When I first came to the CFSIIUM in Nilai in 2008, I have felt something that I have never felt before, mixed up inside me the feeling of sad, curiosity and uncomfortable since I have to be parted from my beloved family. That was the most unforgettable moment where I have to carry my luggage, alone heading to my dorm while all my family members have left me to adapt with the new environment for me. As I walked into the dorm, I met five friendly people that changed me throughout my study years at the CFS. With those people I have learned an Islamic way of life as they always remind me with my responsibilities as Muslimah not to neglect my duty as Muslim and my responsible as the child of my parents. Even I have no interest in studying because I missed my home a lot; they always encourage me saying that it is part of our ibadah seeking knowledge sincerely. Their encouragement motivates me to go through with all of this. Besides that, living in a hostel I learned that strengthening relationship or good ukhuwwah is important in maintaining our relationship among each other and Alhamdulillah they still become important people to me until now. Even though we are far from each other, our relationship still good.
When I entered the main campus in Gombak, I have become different person from two years before while in the CFS, I knew how to adapt in this big campus not to make my parents worried about me. Later on in my second semester in IIUM I have become the committee in my block where I lived and here I learned many things from my senior. I also started to think that in my new life in this main campus, I need to watch over my speech, in order to portray the Islamic ways of life that was always been promoted in IIUM, to become better person in here and also afterlife.
Being part of this committee taught me to be more considerate towards people since we are working in team, I also learned that respecting other’s opinion is important so it will not offend anyone.
