2023 Third Place, Secondary Category: 'Pushing Myself to the Limits' by Jee Si Xuan Jaleesa
Yip Pin Xiu was born with muscular dystrophy but she did not let her disability keep her from living life to the fullest. Overcoming her insecurities, she continues to pursue swimming and dares to achieve more and more. This mindset helped her bring home Singapore’s first ever Olympic-level gold medal.
This artwork represents how she dares to push herself to pursue further and make an impact on society. There is positivity surrounding her so that she can push herself towards her goals. She is like a light of inspiration to me to push myself to the limits and focus on the good things in life.
