As for me, my course is a little different from the other courses above. My chosen course is English and Communication. I bet most of you must be wondering why I have chosen this course, there are some reasons. First of all, English is my favourite subject. Secondly, I like to interact with people around me which builts up communication. Some of my friends support the course of my choice and some of them just give me a blank look.
After spending two hours at Study Excel, we went to visit Sunway College and it's not far from here. This is my first time visiting to the college and I'm really eager to know what are the courses they offer here. They have a ramp to go up- it's specially designed for students with disabilities. We went to the Information Centre to learn more about the courses,what's more my results are qualified to the college Unfortunately, the college didn't offer the course that I'm interested in although I like the environment.
We went back home to stretch our tired legs. At around 3.45 pm, we went to UCSI University at Cheras. I was quite impressed by the environment. There is a huge fountain. Once I stepped in to the university, there is a ramp to go up and I find it quite silppery because I was wearing my AFO which was quite heavy and I almost lost my balance. We took a lift up to the second floor of Block A at the university.
The most awkward part was students were staring at me, some of them gave me this disgust look. Come on people, I'm not from another planet! I'm just an ordinary girl who is looking for her future like any SPM leaver. Okay, back to the serious part. The counsellor gave us a briefing on the courses they offer here. Since my results are qualified to the criteria, that means I have a chance of studying at the university.
According to the counsellor, the university has five to six students with disabilities who are pursuing their respective courses. And it depends on the student support. We toured around the campus and it's huge! I will get lost easily because of my poor "direction sense". Once I got home, I immediately contacted my high school senior who is studying at UCSI University through Facebook. He told me there is a group called PAL Club. The club will help students with disabilities and students who are weak in their studies.
Well, I have to say both universities have their own specialties. We must choose the right one, where it will lead us to a bright future
