I am Siti Sarah and I have always aspired to become a teacher. Currently in my 2nd year of study at the National University of Singapore and majoring in Life Sciences, I hope to impart the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the years to my students. With my MOE Teaching Award, I hope to ‘mould the future of the nation’ holistically and serve as a role model for my students. My motivation to become a teacher comes from the Prophet (Muhammad), who is the Mu’allim- al-mu’allim (Arabic for ‘teacher of all teachers’). I optimise the opportunity to teach and communicate from voluntarily mentoring madrasah students weekly at Madrasah Al-Irsyad.
NUS has given me the opportunities to enrich my undergraduate days. This September, I will be participating in a Student Exchange Program (SEP) at the University of British Columbia. I hope to gain not only experience and a wider social network but also learn more about the Canadian education system and pedagogy.
Thus far, my leadership qualities can be exemplified through my involvement with the National Police Cadet Corps (up till the rank of a Cadet Inspector) and NUS Muslim Society. I am currently the Honorary Secretary of the Society and I already have led a mountain expedition to Kelantan and participated in a Youth Expedition Project to Cambodia last summer.
My wealth of experience has made me grown into a mature and responsible adult I am, ready to face the world and all of its challenges.
