When I was in my undergraduate studies, I took Abnormal
Psychology subject during my 5th semester on 2013. This subject
among the few that really into my heart. This class made me realized that I
have interest into abnormal personality of people. And the one who responsible
for it is the lecturer who teaching the subject at that time, Dr Mimi Iznita. I
did enjoy listen to her experiences dealing with many kinds of clients since
she is a clinical psychologist. My very first impression of her is, “wow, her
English accent is really great!”. That must be because she worked at US for a
while before she come to UIA. One thing I remember about the class is the
project the she assigned us to do, “go crazy project”. This project indeed gave
us new perspective about mental health problem. Again, thanks to her.
And for my last semester in 2014 I took another subject under
her supervision, clinical psychology. This subject is really tough but she made
it enjoyable. And I remember during that semester, the incident of MH370
occurred and she is among the psychologists who helped the families of the
victims to cope with the incidents. At that time, my respect towards Dr Mimi
grow even bigger. I respect her that she got a lot of responsibilities on her
shoulder but she managed it well. I admire her personality and attitude.
For me, she’s a lovable person. Loved by many, I’m certain
about that. I met her before I pursue my master degree, asking for an advice.
“of course, it’s a good thing. But you have to remember, passion alone won’t
help you to go through the journey. You must also have a determination and always
remember why you want to pursue your passion. InshaaAllah, you’ll go through
the journey with new experiences. I will always pray for your journey. That the
least thing we as your educator can do. We always pray the best for our
students”. She touched my heart with her words. Those words will be always in
my heart.
Dr Mimi, thank you for all your knowledge that you have been
shared with us. InshaaAllah we will use it for the good purposes. For every
knowledge that you gave, may Allah reward you amply. For every effort that you
gave for society, may Allah reward you Jannah. Thank you for everything, Dr
Mimi. Jazakillahu kheir. May you rest in peace. You’ll be missed.
