Question 9 – 13 are based on the following passage.

1 ‘Success does not come without hardwork’ is a common phrase we hear

in our day-to-day life. Sakinah Omar, founder of Jeju Muslim Travel and a
former student at the Jeju National University, South Korea, shared a
piece of opinion through her personal experiences on Facebook. Her post
has since gone viral and has attained over a thousand shares. 5
2 Sakinah described that It was tough living in Jeju as she had no direct
support from her friends or family. In addition to her struggle, she had little to no
experience in their language. Her scholarship from the University had only
applied to her tuition fees and not her living expenses. She depended on her
parents money for living expenses, which was very little. 10
3 At the beginning of the semester, her supervisor asked her to buy some
painting materials like canvas, paints, linseed oil, paint brushes and all the
materials required. She did not know how much these things cost in Korea but
she knew they were expensive.Sakinah told him, she only had 200,000 Won.
He asked her if she spent 200,000 Won on materials, how much would she 15
had left. She said nothing, that was all she had for the semester. He was really
shocked. Feeling already down enough from the initial financial struggles, she
continued to persevere through the hardship and by God’s grace, something
amazing happened the next morning!
4 The next morning when Sakinah went to her studio, she was so 20
surprised to see her desk was full of art materials. She waited until her
supervisor came in. When he came, he smiled and told her that he made an
announcement to every studio in the department asking the students if there
were used art materials that they no longer needed and wanted to donate to a
needy Malaysian student, they could put their donations on her desk.Her 25
supervisor himself donated a few of his canvases to her. Grateful for the help,
she stated that now she had to worry about her living expenses such as food
consumption. She only ate rice once a day for the next few weeks. Egg and rice
5 was all she had.
The next thing Sakinah had in mind was to find a way to make extra 30
pocket money.One day she had an idea. She could teach English! She made a
few advertisements on the university billboards offering private English tutoring
class. 2 weeks later a Korean lecturer contacted her and she wanted to learn
English from her. She met her and they agreed to do a 4-hour class every
week. From her first student, she led on to another.Just a month later, she 35
recommended Sakinah to her friend, an elderly 55-year-old businesswoman.
She became Sakinah’s second student. To her, that was more than enough.
6 She saved the tuition money for food, study materials and transportation.
As she continued on living the thrifty life, it was soon coming to an end
of the semester, which required Sakinah to pay her dormitory fees for the 40
semester break. Luckily for her entrepreneur thinking, she decided to open up a
henna drawing booth at the university’s annual student’s festival day. The
 Korean loved henna so much. She drew on people’s hands non stop for three
days straight until her right arm shivered every night from exhaustion. With
that earning she could pay her dormitory fee for the summer break.She then 45
continued to promote and sell Korean cosmetics online. Later, she started to
7 open a small business of Jeju tour specially for Muslims.
After sharing a small part of her struggles, we could really see where
Sakinah got her toughness and independence spirit. She later concluded, “I
believe that if you want to do something with a good intention, God will ease 50
your way. Although things seem to be vague in the beginning you don’t know
what the outcome will be, you don’t know whether you will be able to survive or
not, but trust me along the way you will find ways to go through as long as you
stay positive and keep a good intention in your heart.”
