Nurhuda Dini Faridon was named the recipient of Setegap Ventures Petroleum Sdn. Bhd. Excellence Award, something which she had not expected.

Nurhuda Dini, 21, from Rawang, Selangor, received the award during the Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) 13^th Convocation Ceremony that was held at the Gambang Campus Sports Complex on November 10 and 11, 2018.

She graduated with a Diploma in Chemical Engineering (Process Plant) with a CGPA of 3.57 and is now pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in the same course in UMP.

Nurhuda Dini said she firmly believed in the principle of not to give up easily and that there was a silver lining in every cloud.

She looked up to his father, Faridon Talib, 55, and mother, Hasbah Abdullah@Joned, 53, for inspiration and that they were her life’s main driving force.

“My parents are my biggest source of inspiration to be successful. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to my grandparents who raised me since I was small,” she added.

On her academic achievements, Nurhuda Dini said it was important to have a good planning and to have a fine balance between academic and co-curriculum.

One of the things that she would do was to make notes on the soft board so she could have better focus on her studies.

Nurhuda Dini, who preferred to be called Dini, also said she would ensure that assignments were not prepared at the last minute and that she would seek explanations from her lecturers on things she was unclear of.

She added that as a student, one must have self-confidence, be attentive, responsible and respectful to others and to manage time wisely.

“Take the example of when doing a group assignment where every member should be reasonable and attentive to the works and format assigned in order to complete the assignment,” she said.
