Bronze Award

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award

2023-9 - 2025-1 · 1 yr 5 mos

Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Completed the Duke of Edinburgh's International Bronze Award. Taught me valuable life skills, where I learnt the importance of teamwork in survival as we had to camp in the wilderness and prepare our own food and campsites. It also served as an eye-opener to our society, and those who are in need as I did service to animal shelters and childrens' homes. Finally, it helped me developed a skill that I enjoy until this day: netball, which will always be my passion. Having served as the captain and main shooter, it has been an amazing journey.
