Status
Hoping to progress to University and study Medicine.
Achievement
Moving from Germany and learning English while studying.
Background
The reason for coming to Scotland six months ago from Germany was to work as an au-pair and to improve my English and self-confidence. It was always my dream to come here. Scotland's scenery is breathtaking and I am fascinated by capturing these beautiful landscapes in my drawings and photographs. I enjoy my ESOL classes at Kilmarnock College, both Cambridge and ESOL Intermediate 2, not only because I am learning English but also because I have met some very nice friends from all over the world. They have encouraged me to be more outgoing which means that I am enjoying my stay even more. In the future I would like to go to University and study Medicine.
"My time at Kilmarnock College has been very special and unforgettable. I believe that coming to these ESOL classes has been an important part of my journey."
