What led me to study in BUUIC (week 11+12)


     What I believe led me to study in BUUIC happened several years ago when I was 10 years old. For the first time I could remember I had to move to Ireland with my family to live with my grandfather. The whole experience was new and nerve wrecking to me, I was so nervous that I didn’t know what to do or say at the time. I was only 10 years old back then and the whole experience, the complete change in life was scary especially for children who are young as I was at the time.

     It was the scariest and the most intense part of my life. I had so many new things to adopt to in a short period of time without any preparation. Our lifestyle over there was very different to over here, we had a much smaller house and I knew nothing about anything. On my first day in my new school I was very nervous and quickly fell victim to a bully who just made things hard for me. When I was learning there the teachers worked very hard on bringing up my level of English to their standard and needless to say, they were very successful when I look at myself today and it only took them a year to do so. To me it was all new and interesting and at the same time, very confusing and scary.

     For a small child all of this was so over whelming. I was young a young kid in a new world and I had to adapt to so many things at once it was unbelievable, but despite of all that had happened I managed to pull though and survived. I pushed through it and took it as an advantage to build my experience and make myself a better and stronger person. This was the start of it all, the road to my development in English really starts here and eventually over the  years it led me here to study in BUUIC
