A journey of success for Stow College graduate
A graduate from Pakistan says Scotland has become his second home
thanks to the support and kindness of friends and staff at Stow College.
Muhammad Sufyan is one of more than 200 students who celebrated
their graduation last week (Friday 23rd November 2012) at Glasgow’s
Royal Concert Hall.
The 26 year old received an HND in Computing Software Development
and is now considering his next career, but the journey began with plenty of
challenges.
Muhammad said: “When I first came to the UK I was so depressed
because I was away from my family and friends. It was a completely different
environment for me. The education system, the culture, the bad weather was even
new for me!
“Thankfully, with the passage of time I met new people and made
new friends. That gave me the courage not to lose my mind and be positive. My
teachers and my fellow students also did everything they could to make me feel
like I wasn’t in a foreign country. They have been so nice to me and that
welcome is what has really helped me to appreciate my experience here.”
Muhammad is now looking to take his first step on the career
ladder in Scotland with long-term plans to move back to Pakistan.
“On this special day I wish my parents were here to see me
graduate, but thankfully my cousin, who has supported me throughout my journey,
is in Scotland so I’m not alone on this proud day. Thank you to Stow College
for making me so welcome and helping me to make the most of my rewarding time
studying.”
