At CLC, every student has a story worth telling - and this is Malak’s ❤️🌟
I’m Malak Ehab, a Term 7 Media student.
Growing up, I loved photography & videography. My brother had a camera & I was always taking random pictures or filming vlogs, but I never imagined it could become a career. When it was time to choose a college, everyone told me I’d be a great fit for Media, but I was manipulated by some stereotypes. So, convinced that Medicine was my future, I chose the Science stream instead.
Life, however, had different plans. My final year of high school was one of the hardest of my life, and I didn’t get the grades I needed for Medicine. One night, two of my closest friends & I were talking about our college options, we realized that Media was on all of our lists. That’s when we made our Best. Decision. Ever.
Before I even say anything else, I already know that years from now, I’ll still be saying that CLC gave me some of the best years of my life.
Honestly, these have been the years in which I’ve discovered the most about myself. Not just skills—this college changed me as a person. I’ve become much more sociable, public speaking doesn’t scare me anymore, and one of the biggest things CLC taught me is to stop saying no to opportunities.
The events, projects, and experiences at CLC have given me so much more than academic knowledge. My favorite part is seeing our short films come to life—it made me realize how much I love cinematography and filmmaking. That’s what I love most about studying Media: you’re always discovering something new about yourself.
And honestly… I wouldn’t have loved CLC this much without the doctors and TAs. Their support went beyond academics, making CLC feel like my second home.
And of course, it also gave me friendships I genuinely can’t imagine my life without, along with memories I’ll cherish forever.
So yeah… if you asked me to do it all over again?
I’d still choose Media.
Every. Single. Time.
So if there’s one last thing I’d leave you with, it’s this: enjoy your journey, try new things, make memories, and don’t be afraid to take risks… you might find yourself exactly where you least expected. 💗
