She received this award in recognition of her outstanding performance in both academic and co-curricular activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She received the award from a member of the Board of Governors, His Excellency Professor Dato\u2019 Dr. Koutoub Moustapha Sano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an exclusive interview with IIUMToday, she expressed her disbelief for receiving the award, as there was stiff competition in her Kulliyyah that had many good students from several departments and she did not expect to be the best amongst them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMedical imaging is one of the back-bones of healthcare yet it has not been receiving much recognition compared to medicine,\u201d said Amyni when asked what made her pursue a degree in medical imaging. She also conveyed her wish that the course would get more recognition in future, while in the meantime she also encouraged new juniors to apply for the bachelor&#8217;s program as it is fun to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She mentioned the stories behind her achievement. Despite being a person who loved to memorise theories, she also faced difficulties in her study. She revealed that one of the challenging courses she took was radiographic image evaluation in her second year. She explained that once she had received the x-ray images, she needed to interpret them and visualise the diagnostics information. This made her become a visual learner as it is one of the main skills that is needed to interpret x-ray images.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, she disclosed that her primary source of motivation was her family members, especially her parents who would always give her a wake up call when she wanted to study in the early mornings. Other than that, she expressed her gratitude towards her lecturers as they would always allow her to ask questions when she faced difficulties, even past their working hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-4-1-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-4-1-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-4-1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-4-1-768x995.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-4-1.jpg 988w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-5-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-5-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-5.jpg 874w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-3-2-1024x751.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-181456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-3-2-1024x751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-3-2-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-3-2-768x563.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-3-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen one thing isn\u2019t meant to be yours, then there will be many signs telling you that it will not be yours,\u201d shared Amyni when asked about the valuable lessons that she learnt at the IIUM. She once felt disappointed for not receiving an award from her department, but it did not stop her from becoming an outstanding student in her Kulliyyah eventually.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, success did not come in one night but it came with continuous hard work and the dedication of a person. Her advice for the students was, \u201ctake a break when you feel like you need it and if you feel like there is something missing in your life, don\u2019t forget to check on your relationship with Allah SWT,\u201d and instead of giving up on studies she mentioned, \u201cdon\u2019t dwell on your past, just accept it,\u201d as it is better to move on from your mistake and be a better person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, she also thanked her batch mates (named Luminaries 17) for being supportive during her study. \u201cThank you for the occasional fun distractions that kept me sane,\u201d said Amyni at the end of the exclusive interview with IIUMToday.***<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By, Afifah Syahmina Nordin GOMBAK, 20 November 2024: Graduand, Amyni Natasya Binti Suhaimi from the Department of Medical Imaging, Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences (KAHS)&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":272,"featured_media":181474,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"nelio_content":{"isAutoShareEnabled":true,"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"followers":[272],"suggestedReferences":[],"efiUrl":"","efiAlt":"","highlights":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/convo-7.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181445"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/272"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=181445"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":181730,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181445\/revisions\/181730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/181474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=181445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=181445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=181445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
