Upon close inspection, he found a young boy who was throwing starfish into the sea. You see, starfish washed up to the shore would die if it is not brought back into the vast ocean. The old man approached the boy and asked, Young man, there are so many starfish along the shoreline, you surely can t make a difference to all of them. Upon hearing this, the young boy took up the next starfish and while throwing it back into the sea told the man sincerely, Well it made a difference to this one. The article catches my attention, has helped me regain my confidence and made me see light with my own expectations. To others, one may be the lone person but to the one or ones you have assisted, you may be the world. Let us all start MAKING A DIFFERENCE, even if you may meet with challenges in the role you play.

2 The Young Innovators Challenge is a nationwide event to enhance the creativity and inventiveness of students. This event is to inspire interest in STEM subjects and to enable access to open-source technologies. It is also to reinvigorate the development of life skills, such as problem solving, tenacity and collaboration. This program creates an environment where students can develop their life skills through the process of trying things out and to figure out how things work as well as applying what they have learned through their projects. Life skills such as communication, critical thinking, and tenacity equip students to thrive in the classroom and when they enter the workplace. Guided by the mentor, Mr Solomon, and teacher-in-charge, Mr Wong Hieng Jiing and Ms Paula Byles, who are passionate about STEM, the students picked up a challenge that was close to their hearts, they defined a problem statement, and developed a solution that solved a real- life problem. The effort that students put into identifying the problem and understanding the opinions of the people affected by the problem, had engaged them, in the determining a solution and building their enthusiasm in STEM. Congratulations and well done to our TPS teams. P A G E 2 Continued from Page 1 Presentation to judges about Store Buddy by Roxanne, Sein and Aalisha.

Grouped together with the defending champions, St George Sydney FC, TABS Sabah and SBAI FC from Indonesia, Tunku Putra was the only school based team that compete in this edition. In the first match against TABS Sabah, both teams played an all attacking style and the presence of Malaysia under-12 national striker playing for TABS proves to be the main difference as his clinical finishing brings glory to his team where TABS won 4-2 in a closely contested match.

Both matches were played on day 1 of the competition. On the second day the Tunku Putra team played two more matches, against SBAI Indonesia in the morning where we lost 1-2 in a very tight match up. In the afternoon TPFC played against Kuala Lumpur FA in the semi-final of silver cup (loser group) and that was a very tough game for us and all players worked together to secure our first win in the competition beating KL FC 2-1 thus qualifying for the final of the silver cup. Tunku Putra Football Club 23 team members On the third and final day, we were playing the final of silver cup against a local side Burnmark FC. TPFC were controlling 65% of the match only to be denied by hard luck and good goalkeeping from opponent s keeper. In the end Burnmark FC won 2-1 and Tunku Putra Football Club finished as runner up in the silver cup.
