[2019 GITC Participant] Fatin Azwani from Malaysia > Participants' Story Global IT Challenge

Hello! I am Fatin Azwani binti Abu Zarin from Malaysia. 

I'm 19 years old, and a Human Science student at the International Islamic University Malaysia.

I have 5 siblings including myself and i'm the fourth child.

I'm not the only one who is disabled in my family, my parents are disabled too.

My father are blind and my mother are physically disabled. I am visually impaired.  

I get to know each team's countries and culture during cultural exchange night.

We dance and sing, we had a lot of fun. Me and my friend also get to know a Korean volunteer who we became friends with.

She's so cool and teach us a lot of things about Korea and it's culture. We are still in contact and do text each other once in a while. My most unforgettable memory is that when I saw and heard my name being mentioned as a winner.

I still remember the chills and overwhelming happiness that I felt that day. I cried and my knees went weak.

I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe that I did it. It was truly one of beautiful moment in my life. 

I become more confident and comfortable to express myself here and there.

I'm joining many programs and competitions here in my home country.

I feel more interested in doing things that are challenging and seem difficult at first.
