"2020 was been one of the most memorable and challenging years of our lives, and my pre-university experience was no exception. The first challenge was when all my classes were moved online. It was not what I had envisioned for my first experience of university life and was a truly challenging and humbling experience.
“I found every week of online learning getting more and more demanding. It wasn’t easy trying to stay motivated every week at home where all I wanted to do was lay in bed. Nevertheless, I managed the stress of meeting deadlines and completing all the tasks at hand quite well. I became more forgiving towards myself whilst constantly reminding myself that all the effort I put in would ultimately pay off.
“There is still a long road ahead and my university journey has only just begun. I’m excited to move forward, face more challenges, enrich myself with new experiences and explore new opportunities. I’m hopeful of being able to return to campus soon so that I can see all my lovely lecturers and classmates in person again." -Phoenix Ang, Foundation in Engineering and Science student
