 My name is Caroline Angessa. I'm from Kenya. I've been studying at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, and I've been studying a master's in public health. I've been embraced by the spirit of the Australian people, the easygoing nature, the friendliness, the kindness, and of course the beauty of the Newcastle beaches. I absolutely will miss that. And I know that I'm going to leave with a degree, but above the degree, I know I'll also leave having made friends and memories. For me, the student contact officers have been my family in Australia. They have been the person I call or follow up on anything, whether it involve my studies, my personal life, even, you know, personal stress, I could call them. So they've basically been my mom, my dad, my brother, and my sister. There's so many different cultures in Australia, you know. I didn't expect that coming from Kenya. I did expect a lot of Australians, but not people from all different parts of the world. So that surprised me. My motivation to study in Australia was because I talked to somebody who talked to me about the Australia Awards, and it met the criteria of what I was looking for. What I've learnt most in Australia that would be helpful for me in my day-to-day would be, I think, more globally now. Before I came, I used to think, you know, a lot in my own shell, in my own country, and now I've been made to think in a global way. I don't just think about my local circumstances. I think about international issues. And I think that will probably help me best because my perspectives have grown. My contribution to development is my passion for maternal and child health. And I've taken the opportunity while I was here to learn everything I can on maternal and child health. I've also been able to do a special project on it, which has really helped me delve into the issue, not just, again, locally, but internationally. So I'm confident with the information and the knowledge I have and the skills I have to go back and make that change. Fortunately, I've been offered to work on a maternal and child health programme, so that fits in.
