The school held an excellence award presentation this morning to reward its outstanding students.
The ceremony coincided with the school's 31st parent-teachers association annual general meeting.
Dressed in her new baju kurung, my daughter Dina looked resplendent as she drove me to the school. She had told me that she would be getting a prize for her SPM achievement.
This proud father would not want to miss the opportunity, waiting excitedly to the event. But what turned out was a big surprise indeed.
Dina went up the stage not one but three times to collect her awards.
And each time her name was called, it carried along my name -- three times!!!
I was so touched and of course, proud.
It made me even prouder to know that she was the most outstanding student in the school when she was awarded the 'Anugerah Tokoh Pelajar 2010' (Student Personality Award 2010).
As she stood on stage to receive the award, the master-of-ceremony read the following citation:
The award recipient is Diyanah Zufazlin bt Ahmad Zukiman. This SMART jewel shines in various fields. She is liked by teachers and idolized by many students in school because of her character. It is no surprise that she has received various awards such as Admirable Personality and Excellent Prefect. She is committed in discharging her duties as school prefect for five years she had been in school and was appointed as head girl for the 2009/2010 session.
In co-curriculum, she was active and excelled in softball and hockey. She represented the school and district in the sports at the Gombak District School Sports Council and Selangor School Sports Council competitions. She also held the post of chairman and vice chairman in various school clubs and societies.
23 March 2011 will be a date to remember for her when she received her excellent Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia results with 6As.
Diyanah Zufazlin has proven that despite being active in co-curriculum activities, she had successfully balanced it with an excellent academic achievement.
Thus, the school awards her with ‘Anugerah Tokoh Pelajar 2010’ (Student Personality Award 2010).
