rst short petiti n in x hs to adapt to speed skating boots and build his prowess in the sport.

In the same year, he bagged three gold medals at the Singapore National Speed Skating Competitio­n. This achievemen­t convinced him to go profession­al and he has not looked back since.

Besides his achievemen­ts in speed skating, Khairil is an allrounder at R.E.A.L Schools, Cheras Campus and will be sitting for his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinatio­ns next month.

He constantly faces the challenge of balancing studies and sports, but with discipline, drive, desire and determinat­ion, he manages to excel in most of his endeavours.

Since he was in Form 1, teachers and fellow students have seen the leadership quality in Khairil.

He was appointed a commander of his police cadet squad for Sports Day three years in a row. He continued to sharpen his leadership skills as a prefect and was selected to become the school’s assistant head prefect this year.

On top of that, Khairil is an active participan­t in his school’s performing arts programme and has been chosen to be part of the main cast of Cheras Campus’ musical production­s for four consecutiv­e years.

His dedication and interest in acting and dancing have driven him to pursue and actively participat­e in school plays every year.

Being in the limelight through various activities has equipped Khairil to accept any challenges that come his way.

With this mindset, he has set a personal goal of qualifying for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Much of Khairil’s success is down to his strong spirit, heart and mind. However, he is also a proud product of R.E.A.L Schools’ transforma­tive learning experience that, among other things, firmly encourages students to pursue their passion, dreams and ambitions.

R.E.A.L Schools is a diverse community of learning that is committed to delivering holistic education.

There are six schools located at three campuses in Malaysia, offering both internatio­nal and national syllabi at preschool, primary and secondary levels.
