Attending university has not only inspired me within an academic sphere, but has also proved invaluable in presenting me with the opportunity to become involved in many clubs and activities. I also feel privileged to have made friends with people from different regions of the country and from abroad. I am very grateful for the support that I have been given by the Jefferies Family Scholarship, which has enabled me to enjoy much of the past year and develop my academic interests.
