As a Foundation in Science student, I nominated myself in the hopes of gaining exposure and experience serving the student body. Being a secretary calls for strong organisational and communication skills, flexibility and attention to detail. Armed with the desire to improve and the curiosity to learn, I am ready to face new challenges in expanding my skill set on my journey in rising from being a fledgling to a dependable secretariat team leader. Through this, I hope to demonstrate that as long as one is willing to learn and tackle obstacles head-on, he/she deserves the opportunity to take on challenging roles despite being just a Foundation student.
