What opportunities has studying in NSW given to you?

Leaving my home in the Philippines and studying here on my own has helped me grow spiritually and has made me an independent person. My studies have helped me in seeking employment opportunities working with people with disabilities, children with additional needs and in aged care.

What has been your favourite experience in NSW?

This experience has also helped me learn about different cultures that exist and has allowed me to be more accepting of people’s differences.
