Ex-wheelchair tennis paralympian obtains degree after 7 years of sacrifices for country


JOHOR BARU: Not even time constraint nor having to represent the country could stop former wheelchair tennis paralympian Norisah Bahrom (pic) from excelling in her studies and obtaining a Bachelor's degree (Computer Science) in Software Engineering.

The 46-year-old said it took her seven long years to finish her studies as she had to postpone her studies for a year to prepare and represent the country in the 2014 Incheon Asian Para Games in South Korea.
