Wong Heng Wai - A CEFL Success Story on Her Path to Yale University

Earning a spot at Yale University, given the intense competition and obstacles, is a celebration-worthy goal, showcasing dedication, hard work, and discipline. Wong Heng Wai is a sensational squash player with a remarkable victory in the women's singles title at the Professional Squash Association (PSA). 

Hailing from Kedah, Malaysia, Heng Wai’s journey to Yale University was not paved with luck or shortcuts. Instead, it was her relentless determination and unwavering commitment to excellence that propelled her forward. She achieved an impressive feat by scoring 10 As in her Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination and 2 As and 1 A in her Cambridge A-Level studies at Sunway College. Wong Heng Wai is a shining example of someone who is never idle as she meticulously plans her schedule, lists her tasks and goals, and then works diligently to achieve them. Her dedication to her academics are what earned her a spot in Yale University and her talent in squash is what got her a sports scholarship in the prestigious university.

But her dedication doesn't stop at academics and sports. Wong Heng Wai goes above and beyond to focus on self-improvement. One notable aspect of her journey was her decision to enhance her English language skills through Cambridge English For Life (CEFL) at the Sri Petaling centre. This decision showcases her commitment to holistic development, recognizing that strong English language skills are essential for integration into American society. CEFL, a trusted institution, provided her with the tools to ensure her language skills were up to par for her upcoming adventure in the United States (US).

Recently, Heng Wai sat for the challenging C1 Advanced examination and passed. Accomplishing the C1 Advanced level demonstrates one’s ability to communicate fluently and use English for social and academic purposes. Such proficiency will undoubtedly assist her in blending into the English-speaking communities, particularly in the US.

We applaud Heng Wai not only for her incredible academic and athletic achievements but also for her success in passing the C1 Advanced Cambridge Assessment English (CAE) examination. Her story is a testament to the fact that hard work and dedication truly pay off. As she embarks on her educational journey at Yale University, we wish her the best in all her future endeavours.
