 The whole basis of the program was to get these kids together to interact and to feed off each other and it's clearly what we've already seen. Just chatting to them now, they're clearly excited getting together and they haven't seen each other for a number of weeks because it's semester break and they're excited to see each other. They're clearly very happy about being here. It's impacted my life by giving me connections and making friends that I wouldn't have even thought I would have made. The scholarship has impacted my life in a great way. It's enabled me to study here because if it weren't for the scholarship I wouldn't be able to study here at the ANU and be able to experience all the great facilities that the ANU has to offer. It's made you feel like you can make more of a difference because you've gone and talked to people that are actually influential. The unique opportunity to get to meet other scholars and to grow together as potential leaders and contributors to the community. The scholarship has impacted my life by definitely forming a foundation of friends. I kind of feel like the other Takwas scholars are almost my family away from home. Also the mentor support has been amazing in both my personal life. If I have any issues in my personal life I know I can go to the Takwas Fellows but then also academically it's really assisted me there. It's probably given me lots of different viewpoints to consider. I basically study only science but the people, other people who have got the scholarship study so many different areas and we can exchange ideas and just gives me lots of different ways to think about things. Teamwork between scholars has been great. Some of my closest friends are probably scholars. It's really growing fast and we've been able to be involved in making the program what it is. I think it's very clear to our mind that the highlight is just being part of the program because it's like building a business where in the early stages of building a business so the exciting things where we're getting to, not what we've done so far.
