Being on the hotseat has been a childhood dream and I am truly grateful for this opportunity.

I believe that there is a wealth of knowledge beyond textbooks, and I strive to gather and absorb as much as possible. When I was leaving home to come here, I told my parents that I would try and make the best use of this opportunity!
