At the time that I have spent here, I consider the experiences so far to be a life changing one. The entrepreneurial and leadership curriculum has enabled me to learn a lot about myself and the ways in which I can become a good and effective leader. I have learnt a lot about the struggles and hopes of Africa through African Studies.

My academic so far has been smooth. Academically, I have been exposed and challenging myself in learning new and difficult things which I haven’t learnt before. I was faced with challenges ranging from changes in environment and educational curriculum which was overcome in the mid period of the term with the help of the Wellness and Self Leadership Coaching team on campus.

With the passion I have for robotics and creativity, upon my arrival, I joined the school’s coding and robotics club. So far, I have learned new ideas and established new connections within this same circle. This has provided me a platform in expressing my leadership potential by being a deputy leader of the Robotics division and also a platform in developing my creativity skills. I hope to use this opportunity in strengthening the technological sector of Africa and the world as a whole.
