It is okay to be different and chart your own path while challenging the status quo. Also, that most of your learning happens outside the class or even the borders of the place you're in. The world is your oyster, you just have to explore and find your space (s)."

"Is there anything about NU-Q that the nine previous batches haven’t already said…? But a year away from NU-Q made me appreciate everything about it much more, especially as I inch closer to graduation. And if there's one thing I've learned from my time here, it's that what matters isn't the journey or the destination, but what you make of both."
