"I was young and not too interested in College, but I knew I would need some form of post-secondary education to survive in Bermuda's economy. I entered into the business programme at Bermuda College because that's what everyone else was doing, and I knew that our economy was heavily reliant on local and international business.
Once I started, I realised that I was capable of so much more than I thought I was, based on my interactions with the faculty and staff. They were communicative, empathetic, and I began making meaningful connections and friendships. For me, it was more about finding myself than taking classes, and the teachers understood that. Mrs. Parsons, my accounting teacher, was wonderful and made sure I kept my head above water when I needed assistance the most.
Bermuda College helped me step outside my comfort zone and learn how to become a leader for myself first. I recognise that you only lose once you quit."
In his own words...
