ENGLISH CENTER - Damia Maisara Bt Hasmizan is an inspiring example of perseverance and growth. At just 11 years old, she has been selected to perform in the 5th Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) 2025 public speaking event—a remarkable achievement. However, her journey to this stage has not been an easy one. Initially, she was shy and lacked confidence in speaking English. Standing before an audience and delivering a speech in a language not her mother tongue was daunting for her.

Despite her initial hesitation, Damia never gave up. With continuous encouragement and guidance, she gradually embraced the challenge. I made sure to prepare a speech text that suited her CEFR level, ensuring that it was both challenging and achievable. As we embarked on our first training session this week, she showed remarkable determination to improve. Her willingness to step out of her comfort zone and practice diligently reflects her growing confidence.
Her journey is now being documented on my YouTube channel, where she can track her progress and gain further motivation. This is just the beginning for Damia. Her spirit and dedication to public speaking will benefit her in this event and serve as a foundation for her future success. With each session, she proves that confidence can be built and skills can be sharpened through persistence and the proper support. I am proud of her progress and excited to see her shine on the HIP stage!
