Dorcas narrated how she was determined to be the first graduate within her family’s generation and despite few challenges she encountered, she achieved a first-class degree in BA Business Economics.

I wanted my first ever post to showcase my biggest achievement thus far. Migrating to this country at the age of six and teaching myself English; graduating from University was a mere dream.

However, I was determined to be the first graduate within my family’s generation.

To say it was difficult would be an understatement. Throughout the three years at the University of Essex, I was undoubtedly faced with numerous challenges.The biggest obstacle being the pandemic! However through the support of my friends and family, I was able to achieve a first-class degree in BA Business Economics.

To conclude, I would like to give an honourable mention to my dissertation mentor Ceren Baysan . During an individual’s academic journey, there are always teachers or mentors you remember for a lifetime. Thank you for being such a great support system and changing my whole outlook on life, I will forever be grateful.

As this chapter closes , I am certain that this is only the beginning of my journey and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
