Heart & Soul: We are a family, like a giant tree

Not every kid wants to leave the nest as some are happy to stay on for as long as they can.

I’ma 22-year-old Malaysian student studying in Britain. Just like many other students my age, I had big dreams to pursue my education overseas. The opportunity came by pretty easily as my grades were more than sufficient to get me into the university of my choice, and my parents were able to support me financially.
