"My life in Australia has been so awesome and fulfilling. I consider this as one of the biggest breakthroughs of my life. As a PWD, I never imagined how far I've reached. The university was very helpful and they gave me the utmost reception."

"Studying in Australia gave me the opportunity to step back from the context that I was immersed in and reflect on it further through strong research work, reading journals and attending lectures by Australian experts whose works I had been reading previously. It is a year I would always go back to."
