I'm extremely grateful to have received the Griffith University and Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Scholarship (100%) which has helped me in more ways than I had ever imagined. Undoubtedly, this motivation has helped me explore my hidden potentials and become a better version of myself every single day. As part of this scholarship, I was invited to networking events where I had the opportunity to meet experts in my field and expand my university experience. This scholarship not only relieved my parents' financial burden but also made them proud to not have compromised on my ambitions. This scholarship meant I didn't have to work long shifts, could focus on my studies and allowed me to take time for myself and explore everything the beautiful Gold Coast had to offer
