A chance to shine


I FIRST applied for the BRATs Young Journalist Programme run by The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (Star-NiE) team a few years ago, as I’ve always loved to write for leisure.

Participants had to go through three stages of selection at the time. Unfortunately, I did not get through the second stage. Fast forward to early this year, and I was finally accepted into the programme.
