A Real World-Freedom and Challenges

It’s been almost 1/2 month since i arrived in Malaysia for my Master program in Digital Film and TV. The best thing about living here is that i am allowed to go anywhere, wear and eat whatever i want. I have explored Malaysia by myself except Kaula Lumpur. I will visit it very soon. Currently i am living in on-campus accommodation at Cyberjaya where my University “Limkokwing University of Creative Technology” situated. 

Lets read my first journey going to another country alone. It wasn’t very easy decision to study abroad. I had to struggle with lots of things. I was not sure if i able to reach here as i had four epilepsy before coming to Malaysia (3 in August and 1 in September). My flight was on 23rd of September, 2018. I was afraid but mustered up my courage and prayed to God that my journey would become a stepping stone for recovering my disease.

When i arrived in the plane the air hostess helped me in everything which i never asked to do so till i arrived in Malaysia. Even the staff of airport accompanied me for so many hours till the guy from my university came to pick me. I was so moved by their kindness and gesture. 

 When i arrived to University then i got know that I was allotted the room at the 3rd floor and they have no lift for physically challenged students. I got shocked from this even i mentioned about my disability to the counselor so many times. The online recruitment team had also given me wrong information about fees structure and then when i arrived here, i had to paid more fees. Thanks God the head of International Student Services immediately allotted the room at the ground floor which is actually a male floor. Dont worry the male students are very respectful and helpful.

The real struggle started when i had to walk in every department in different floors to complete my registration process. I am disappointed there are no facilities available for physically challenged students not even ramp for wheel chairs. The strange thing is there are two lifts  for VIP but only one lift for us which is still not working till now. When one day i need to go to the 3rd floor, i stood in front of the VIP lift. The girl was standing and asked very rudely “Do you want to talk to me?” I replied, “I have a problem, I am physically challenged.” She didnt even let me to explain my disability. She immediately refused by saying “This lift opens to the Founder office. You cannot go.” She then looked at the guard and said “SHOW HER A WAY!”. I felt i was discriminated. I was about to cry. The guard also felt bad for me. He even called other guy from the management to let me use the elevator but he refused as well. He revealed that that girl is from Iran and she is in management. The guard felt my pain and he was a emphatic person. He asked my nationality. I said “I am from Pakistan.” He replied, “ Then we could speak in Urdu/Hindi. I know your current PM Imran Khan.” Then our conversation started. After few minutes the guy came from the lift and asked me “Do you want to use lift” and i replied. “Yes” and the gentleman gave me permission to use the lift. When i needed to use lift again and i asked Malaysian girl (from the management) for permission and she humbly let me to use the lift. I had a very rough day. I even complaint to the staff of the marketing and international student service department but they seemed helpless. The things which management supposed to provide me, my hostel mates did for me. Here for the first time in my life i celebrated Halloween and enjoyed alot.

Lets talk about the outside of Malaysia. For the first time i experienced to traveled alone in cab, visited malls, explored Sunway and meeting new people. Malaysian were so generous and kind where ever i went. I really moved by the girl when i went to Tony Moly at IOI City Mall Putrjaya. She was humble and helped me in every possible way. She even took the photo with Seo Kang Joon ( not the real one XD). 

The staff of TGV cinemas are so helpful that they take me to the hall every time i go. I had so much fun while exploring Malaysia by myself. It seems i got my freedom back. I got the chance to see favorite Korean Celebrities too. In every mall i visited, they have more facilities for physically challenged than my university provides. Even staff in malls are more cooperative than my university. I think my university should invite these malls staff to give training to the management.

If the students and Professors and guards weren’t helpful then i would have changed my university. The Professors are cooperative but you need to show your interest in course. My Pakistani class fellows scared me to death about the reputation of this university. I was starting regretting upon my decision to study here. If some other good Pakistanis fellows weren’t there for me to show the reality,i would have return back to Pakistan which i don’t want at any cause. My brother and that Pakistanis warned me to avoid such people. They always complain and don’t want someone to see ahead of them.

The message i want to give to every students who always complains

In abroad, you need to find opportunity for yourself. You need to stand out and initiate the changes you want to see. No one will ever pamper you. This is not Pakistani society where you depends on your parents. This is real world. Though i have also found flaws regarding facilities for physically challenged students otherwise the education is good. No one is ever fool enough to awarded so many awards to that University where the education is not up to at International level. 90% students are foreigners and mostly are from China. It has different campuses in Asia and London too.

The biggest challenge of mine is that I don't have prior experience of film making. Mostly students are way ahead of me. I need to cope up with them. I want to have independent life and face challenges in order to be successful in my career. No one will ever be successful if he/she has not experienced hurdles in life.

The good news is that i have not experienced any epilepsy attack even after facing so many hurdles in Malaysia. The environment around here is helping me in  recovering my disease. I hope i will get rid of it completely.
