This is the story of a fish called 'Shamin' that comes from a small pond. Life was tough for the fish since there are not many fishes want to live their life to the fullest. Most of the fishes have the idea of just being the best fish in the pond for the fisherman. The little fish, however, has a big dream to wave its tiny tail in a great big sea, living to the fullest and freely.

'Shamin' is more or less different from the others. Wanted to be as strong as a shark, as big as a whale, a smart as a dolphin, 'Shamin' want to be the best; not only for himself, but for the family and community of the pond.

It started its quest to live freely by jumping from one pond to another with some other cool fishes it met along the way. It almost lost hope since the same things as it does. Until, it accidentally jumped into a pond that led to the great big sea.

To be there, at the pond, this scared this small fish enough since there are a lot of predators that want to take this little fish down. Dangerous routes everywhere. But to see itself survive and doing good in the great big sea, 'Shamin' managed to pass through the obstacles and finally arrived at the great big sea. But then, it realized that to be in a great place needs a lot of effort; there will always be obstacles, even bigger than before.

This actually changed 'Shamin' bit by as bit. And it also realized that this change should not be just for him, but for everyone to live as better creature. 'Shamin' took a detour to its own small pond and convinced as many fishes as it could, to join for the fight to be a better creature.

This is a story of a student's journey from UniKL MIAT with the name of Muhammad Shamin Halim. Lives rigidly, shy, and not a proactive person before but with the spirit that he gained from the surroundings, he was determined to change his life. Not by coincidence but fate.

In Enactus, he went through a lot of thick and thin to learn, to practice, to be a better person. Enactus gives the chance to students to practice what they did not learn in classroom and the institution; to shape a better person to be a future leader, to contribute the communities. Stepping out from the comfort zone, Shamin is now a different person that he was once was.
