The objective of this posting is nothing but to share with you some of the things I have been able to learn in my critical thinking class so far......

How  I have finally chosen to study in  Malaysia.

Last  couple of years(barely two years) my parents announced to me that they will  send me abroad (Malaysia) in order to further my education.On hearing about  this, I became excited and  was  jubilating noticing that I was the second to travel overseas  for the sake of education in the family. I said to myself  wow! (we do not know the love of parents until we become parents).Below pictures were uploaded to enhance your understanding.

                                               How I was jubilating!!!!!!!!!!

                     

Three months later it was time to start preparations. We quickly sent an application to SeGI  College and luckily it was successful, then visa was the main issue at hand. The University (Segi) applied for the visa and we were told that a student visa takes three months to process we  then  waited. Three months were almost we contacted the school only for us to hear that it was not successful, and no reason was given for the refusal. My parents then  said ok lets change the University, we applied to Sunway University got the admission  but still faced with  visa problem, couldn’t get it and the admission expired .My parents again said we are not going to give up, let’s try for the third time. We applied to a different University got admitted but still same problem. At this point in time a lot of money was already spent and nothing has been achieved.We were making efforts to figure out what next to do.

One Sunday morning I was in my room glancing at a news paper suddenly I noticed an advert of one International foundation college situated  in Nigeria by name Global  International college where one can have a foundation and then proceeds  to a foreign University. I quickly rushed and showed it to my parents they then said ok  first thing tomorrow you go and inquire from them.Finally I got enrolled for a nine months program and graduated at the expiration of the duration.

                            Graduation at Global International college!!!

                      

                                                       

 On successful completion I got admissions in the UK and United Arab Emirates but couldn’t get any in  Malaysia.My friends started influencing me to go to Uk with them that Malaysia is not a nice place Uk is better everything is there bla...bla.bla.I start developing interest but  I had to consider what my parents wanted, then a DILEMMA came up me.Unknown  to me another arrangement was on the way  for Malaysia again,a family  friend was trying to help.Finally MMU was successful but I was already influenced by friends of mine to go to UK Malaysia was no longer my choice and I didn’t want to disobey my parents.

How I solved  the Problem:

1.I tried to know what was the exact problem troubling me?

Answer:  In this case, the problem was that I want UK and my parents want MALAYSIA. But already been Influenced by my  friends who were trying to make me choose something else other than what my parents have chosen for me.

                             One of whom influenced me to go to UK!!!

                                      

                       

2.I tried to ask myself did this problem ever happened to me and what are my  feelings  right now?

Answer: I realized that I was totally upset and it has never happened to me before so what should I do now,go to Malaysia or go to UK?

I then sat down started to think of how to overcome the dilemma by figuring out the advantages and disadvantages of each like these countries:Come with me  and see how I was abled to tackled it based on what I had thought then.

UK’s  Advantages:

                                          

1.Nearly all my friends are going there so I may have less problems if I study in the UK.

2. Better facilities in the Uk than in Malaysia and the standard of living is excellent.

Malaysia’s Advantages:

1.Life in Malaysia is a lot more cheaper .

2.I am a muslim and Malaysia is an Islamic country where I can learn more about Islam.

3. My parents need not to suffer much for my educational expenses if I go to Malaysia.

4.My elder brother usually goes to Malaysia for official assignments and that could be  an advantage for me .

Disadvantages in Uk  :

1.High rate of taxes.

2.The universities are very expensive in the UK my parents might not  be able to pay for my  tuition as  at when due.

3.T her are possibilities I might deviate from my religion.

4.I can be influenced by those same friends to engage in bad activities.

5.Too much enjoyment can affect my study.

Disadvantages in Malaysia :

1.The distance is too much

2.Humid temperature in the country might affect me.

                                                 

Finally I looked at the country with the highest advantages and less disadvantages to be my final choice and it  turned out to be Malaysia.

                                         My journey to Malaysia!!!

                                                 

In conclusion, I having been talking so lengthy about THE FOUR  STAGES of  Problem-Solving Model (DAID) in which I had defined the Problem, Analyzed the problem, Identified the possible solution and decided on the best alternative.
