Self Introduction
I am delighted that I have chosen University of Bristol for a rewarding and memorable learning journey in my life. It is a truly remarkable experience to learn from experienced academic staff with expertise across a very wide range of disciplines. I was tremendously impressed by the interchange of ideas among students and academic staff, especially, Dr. Trahar, my supervisor, and other professors, for their inspiring ideas and advice. They are committed to nurturing my intellectual growth and cultivating my critical thinking skills. This has not only enriched my knowledge and understanding of education, but it has also fueled my aspirations to strive with excellence. It is my hope that as a member of the educational community, I am able to use my learning to serve the community with efficiency, effectiveness and integrity
