A year in review…

So second year is over and I just wanted to go over and highlight all the things that I am proud of this year because it’s been a tough one.

1. I was selected to deliver the Welcome Talks with the Vice Chancellor on Open Days as a Student Ambassador, and received amazing feedback from the marketing team.
2. I was then selected to take part in the Royal Visit by the Vice Chancellor for all the hard work I had put in to the Welcome Talks!
3. I landed a place on the Geography in Education Module, and then received full marks in my placement!
4. I went to a Secondary School in Birmingham and delivered a whole school talk on the Environmental Crisis to over 1000 people!
5.  I was approached by the Marketing Department and asked to be a video presenter for some vlogs!
6. I trained to be a Team Leader as part of being an Ambassador.
7. I was nominated by staff for Student Ambassador of the Year.
8. I was elected President of the University of Leicester Ambassador Society.
9. I was elected Social Secretary of the University of Leicester American Studies Society.
10. And finally I completed second year. Which I think I am proud of the most.

University isn’t just about your degree, it’s about learning life skills and taking up opportunities you might not otherwise get. I think the University of Leicester has so many amazing opportunities outside of the actual degree, and that is why I chose it to study at. The experiences I’ve had in just a year are so incredible and I will forever be grateful for that.
