Jennyfer Sukong Yan
I caught my attention, the story of a remote girl from the inland of Sarawak, working her way to make her future better. In fact I always take it for granted that Malaysian are open to opportunities to further their education. I was wrong.
I am sure many more are not as lucky of successful as Jennyfer. I think the story touches many heart and I hope the newspaper does not mind if I share it in this blog.
Jennyfer emerged as the top student in the Diploma in Tourism at Taylor University College. She did it at all odds against her. The obstacle was great as she was against the wish of the family and decided to seek employment at Miri. The father was against her dream to further her study, but she was determined and wanted to prove to them that this is the right way.
This is what she said "Had I not gone to Miri to get the job, I would never be able to step my foot out of the village. I would never hear about the Honda Fund"
He mum was the main driver behind her determination. Jennyfer was the happiest lad to be able to fulfill the wish of her mum.
" I wanted my mum's tear will be the tear of joy and not the tear of sorrow" that is what Jennyfer Sukong Yan said".
