Those who really know and understand me would say I am an adventurous person; always willing to take risks and try out new ideas and experiences. I believe I am this way because I have been a scout since my school days, and I’ve also received the King Scout award – the highest award in the Malaysian scout movement.
Being a scout taught me to always embrace all the positive traits and be the greatest person you can be. All the things you do for others and for yourself, even something small like a compliment can change someone’s life.
That’s probably also the reason why I care so much about our Mother Earth. In this university, people usually see me as an environmentalist as I was the leader of the QIU Eco-Rangers , a club that helps create a sustainable, greener campus.
I believe that we humans are the only creatures on Earth who will say we care and love this planet but yet, we do so much harm to it every day. You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. We should all start caring for our lovely Earth and start living a better, sustainable life.
But I have to say, my number one passion would be entertaining others, whether it is music, acting or even just cracking a joke. Singing has been my most beloved hobby since I can remember. I used to sing my lungs out to Linkin Park with my siblings, sitting on the pillar in front my house during the evenings, just enjoying childhood. Entertaining others and being creative allows you to express yourself without relying on words. So, to everyone out there, I encourage you be creative and explore all the things in the world. You will never know what is best for you if you do not look far enough.
My story is probably not as interesting as you may think. But my story explains why I am who I am, not just who I am. People see me differently from who I actually am, but this is the real Reshmi.
