The journey to Graduation day…
Rosy Nawi: “This is my story.”
It is truly an honour to have the opportunity to share my journey and to represent minor ethnic groups like mine.
Through offering this opportunity, You and GFP event organisation have proven once again that Australia is a welcoming and accepting community.
Throughout my Bachelor and Master studies at Monash University, I look forward for the day that I will stand on the stage of Robert Blackwood Hall, wearing my Hakha Chin cultural clothes and receive my degree as I proudly say that ‘I finally did it for myself, for my family and for my Chin people.
I hope that people will see my journey that brought me to my graduation day as an inspiring success story of a 1.5 generation refugee student from Hakha Chin State in Myanmar ( Burma), who is able to graduate through resilience, determination, and love of learning.
I owe my achievement to everyone who has loved me and supported me throughout my university year. And most importantly to God, Australia, and Monash University for giving me an opportunity for a second chance in life and the opportunity to study freely to“…equip [myself] for life, not solely for [my] own benefit but for the benefit of the whole community.” As Sir John Monash quote. I am so happy and grateful for my life.
