During my freshman year of college I was part of an academic excellence plan for students. It offered me the opportunity to work in the food services area of my hall of residence as a kitchen assistant. Thanks to this job I was able to pay for my accommodation in the residence and thus be able to pursue my studies at this prestigious university.
