Three years ago, I finished my first year of university with a 54%. I was in the middle of a mental health crisis, struggling with work ethic, and truthfully, I wasn’t sure if I was cut out for an academic path. Today, I am beyond proud to share that after graduating with a First-Class Honours degree in Chemistry, I have officially accepted an offer to study MSc Drug Discovery and Development at UCL !! Looking back, I never thought this would be possible, but over the past few years I have worked harder than ever to invest in myself and improve my stress management and academic discipline. I am overjoyed that my hard work has paid off. 😆 I wanted to share my story for anyone currently struggling or feeling like a percentage defines their potential. Keep going! Your current chapter is not your whole story ☺️
