“You can pursue higher education.”

“I chose to study ECE because I love children and I’ve always known that I wanted to work with children from a really young age.??

My family knew that I’ve always wanted to be a teacher so they have always supported me and encouraged me to pursue higher education, even though I did leave school early from an accident at 16. My number one priority is to get an education and make sure that I can provide a better life for my family and the family that I will have in the future.??

To anyone that has left school early, just know that you can pursue higher education, there are no limits on that, just believe in yourself and always strive for better. Just go for it and never let anything hold you back would be my advice to someone that wants to study at MIT.

I want to own my own centre – that is the end goal for me.”
