Diana's story

"Whatever comes my way further in life, I was strong enough to overcome obstacles before that nothing can stop me now."

I would love to be a journalist, I love to write. I was the happiest when I got into university. It felt like such a big accomplishment to be able to study abroad, given the fact that I come from Romania. Getting into university was overwhelming. I was my happiest then.  

I almost missed getting into university because they required an 8, I got a 7.5 which isn’t a huge difference but it wasn’t the requirement. I did many things I don’t need to do, I still do now! Do what you need to do first, and then do what you like. Study more, way more!

I have so many things to do and so little time; I feel like I need to cut out many things that I used to do in my spare time to find a way to be more productive than I have been recently. I need to focus more, I don’t find it a struggle, it’s more of a challenge. 

When I feel challenged I remind myself that I was strong enough to get so far, so whatever comes my way further in life, I was strong enough to overcome obstacles before that nothing can stop me now.
