Sherilyn, my middle daughter, has just completed her Foundation in Natural & Built Environments. I’ve repeatedly asked her if a degree in Architecture is truly what she wants to pursue. After nearly a year of intensive coursework filled with back-to-back assignments, countless all-nighters, and very little sleep, it pains me to see her endure such challenges. However, Sherilyn remains steadfast in her decision.
Next week, I need to pay her registration fee for the Bachelor of Science in Architecture. I hope Sherilyn will have the determination and resilience to see this three-year degree through to completion. And this is just the beginning. After earning her degree, she’ll need to work as a junior architect, pursue and complete a Master’s degree, and then pass the LAM exam (Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia) to become a registered architect. It’s going to be a long and challenging journey, and I sincerely hope she can achieve her ultimate goal.
Even though she’s on a month-long break now, Sherilyn is now actively organizing an event in her university to showcase the works that she and her course mates have completed. The showcase event is open to the public and she’s the team leader. Besides her uni project, she is also very busy rehearsing for several upcoming dance competitions. I really don’t understand this daughter of mine. She rarely has the time to rest and relax and yet she is finding so much challenge and joy in this lifestyle of hers!
