<><><><> <><><><> <><><><>

I am Nor Hasniza Bt Abdul Halim.  I was born on the 27th. of August 1988 in Kuantan, Pahang.  I was raised in the sublime city of Kuantan until I was approximately five years old and later moved to the historical town of Taiping and lived in Assam Kumbang, a village about five kilometres from Taiping.  I am the eldest in a family of five siblings.  My mother is a dedicated teacher while my father works in one of the many government ministries.                        I had my primary education in SK Assam Kumbang, a small school located in the heart of Assam Kumbang.  I later went to Convent Secondary School before being offered a place in the prestigious MARA Science College in Grik.  After achieving excellent grades in my Lower Secondary School Examination (PMR), I was chosen to pursue my upper secondary education in the MARA Science College in Taiping.                            Since young, the medical field has always fascinated and inspired me.  It is obvious that my ambition is to be a distinguished surgeon one day.  Hence, I have been voraciously reading all sorts of books and articles concerning medicine.  I have also a collection of newspaper articles that I have made into a folio.  Most of my reading materials are from the health column in the local newspapers and the health magazines found in hospitals and private clinics.   I am particularly interested in the study of diseases.  Recently my parents bought me an encyclopaedia of diseases and remedies.  It had cost them a fortune but they were happy to see a wide smile on my face.  During my leisure time, I sometimes read articles online.           Collecting and reading materials on medicine alone will not get me anywhere.  I know I have to work hard.  By the way, I have just finished my post secondary education. I am waiting for my examination results that will be out soon. In school I studied Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics.  I hoped to do well in the examination.  I hope to be a successful brain surgeon.                    I have been fortunate to have solid backing and support from my loving parents especially my mother who has been a biology teacher for quite a long time.  If by the grace of God, I am given a chance to study medicine, I will do my utmost to perform well.  I have the will to study to the highest level in this field.  I aim to be a heart surgeon and that is my ultimate goal in life.
