The first step is often the hardest, do what you need so you can succeed.

I chose a degree in Psychology with the intention of gaining valuable skills and knowledge to help people in a health care setting. With that, by representing first year psychology students I would be given the chance to improve future Psychologists experience at university.

I am approachable and bubbly towards others, placing my importance on family, friends, and the people around me - I love meeting new people, so please say hello! Last year in high school I was a School Captain and I peer educated and mentored S1 pupils. This had such a positive impact on myself, the school, and pupils that I am determined to help Psychology students in a similar way to enjoy university life and achieve their degree. Even with the current restrictions, nobody should feel like they are not heard.
