Monash Kickstart Scholarship
Moving to a new country with my family was stressful, and it was a difficult decision to make. Coming from a single-income family, most of our stress stemmed from the financial situation we were put in. I am grateful that the scholarship has given me an advantage and has helped me deal with the financial stress of my studies. This scholarship has driven me to work hard and strive for the best. It's easy to let things become stressful; however, I believe great things can be achieved with hard work and the proper support.
