What motivates you?
I personally like to do my best where possible and to help others, which I find I am able to do really well within my field. I am also motivated by progression and becoming even more specialist within my field, which I get continuously by working within my field.
Why did you originally apply to Birmingham?
As Birmingham is one of the top universities in the UK and I had ties to Birmingham, I believed UoB to be the best choice for me to go to University.
How did you grow as a person by coming to University?
I thought I was independent before leaving home, but I soon learned this was not the case. I missed home a fair amount, but this is completely normal. I definitely gained an appreciation of how important it is to stay in contact with people, and this is also true when working. As I wasn't sure what career I wanted when I started university, I was able to explore different areas that interested me.
What are your fondest memories of the University?
My fondest memory of university was being part of Esports Society, where I was part of a team with four other students, and we competed together in amateur competitive tournaments. We spent a lot of time practicing as a team as well, leading to some hilarious moments, and it always felt really good when we won as a team and played well together.
