It was an AMS brochure which I received that
made the difference to my choice between JC & AMS. My dad happened to
chance upon some information regarding this course, how it encourages students
towards pursuing their passion & dream towards flying, towards aviation;
hence encouraging me to find out more about this course during the TP Open
House 2012.
The AMS team, both the lecturers & seniors
were strongly passionate about the course, shared the fulfilling takeaways from
the course, such as Advance Standing in renowned Australia universities which
I’m intending to pursuit my further studies in, opportunities into flying
career & the remarkable internship opportunities offered to the students.
Together with the TP Scholarship (which again
was a thoughtful initiative by the AMS team to help me apply for the
scholarship), they convinced me to join the AMS team. Unlike most of my peers
who embark on their journey to JC, my daily journey to TP is indeed long &
tiring – average 1 hour bus ride to TP –, at times questioning myself why
torture myself when there’s a nearby polytechnic which is 5 minutes’ walk from
my house.
But it was all worth it, having an enriching
campus life in TP: meaningful CCA like Experiential Learning Facilitators (ELF)
that equip me with skills as an outdoor educator; ample aviation opportunities
like the Airbus Fly Your Idea international competition which I got to work
with Airbus experts from Toulouse, France; adventure racing as a CCA interest,
running, kayaking and mountain biking through obstacles & checkpoints.
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself"
–Amelia Earhart, first female aviator. Therefore, it’s definitely worth the
shot on the adventure with the AMS team, exploring the wonders of flying.
