Her name ‘Nur Wafea’ was given with a hope that one day she will grow into a caring and empathetic person. Being a middle child in her family, she was considered quite a mature child from a very young age. Even though she started to speak quite late, on exactly her 2nd birthday, she quickly spoke very well, in proper full sentences, starting from that day.She started her early education at 4 years old in Ana Montessori just a few miles away from her home. She continued her primary education at Sri Ayesha Islamic School (SAIS) in her hometown. Upon completing her UPSR and PSRA, she decided to continue her study in SAIS under Dar-Izzah class, using IGCSE curriculum, and now she is in grade 8.At home, she is a cheerful child surrounded by caring and loving family members. One particular routine of hers during every breakfast and dinner time is listening in (and sometimes chiming in!) to long ancient stories and discussions between her Tok Ayah and her Papa, on a range of historical and current issues. In her own personal time however, she loves to read books especially encyclopedia and biographies. She also loves to watch National Geographic, BBC Earth and Travel channel, particularly shows covering on environmental issues and the animal kingdom.At her free time, she loves to sketch and draw anything which interests her at the time. She is also learning piano and just passed her grade 3 exam. She loves to practice her music skills with her siblings, whom will play other musical instruments and sing along with her. She also has ‘green fingers’ too! She loves to help her mom in their own little garden beside their house.Writing is a new skill that she just acquired, perhaps from all her life experiences and readings that she went through so far. Even though she does not have a firm ambition yet of what she wants to do when she grow up, she is now considering journalist and writer as one of the options.view less
