It's crazy. I don't like it... You. Don't. Like. My. Fit?! - I'm kidding. GCT: What did you study? And what did you like about the programme? - Okay, I studied Journalism and Public Relations What I like about the programme was the fact that it taught us... I studied Journalism and Public Relations... I studied Journalism and Public Relations. And what I liked about the programme was the fact that the courses gave us hands-on knowledge and all the lecturers were people that were in practice, and have experience with the course, like in real time. So whatever they were teaching, were things are industry applicable. And that was really valuable for me, especially as someone who came from a more professional background and was just getting the certification now I found, integrating the academic knowledge and the professional knowledge a lot easier having those tutors. - Perfect My journey to Ireland is nothing short of... It's interesting. It's interesting, to be honest. And I know people use the word interesting loosely, but it's been a very wonderful journey. I remember sitting in the class on the first day, and when I got home, when I was asked, how was your first day in this master's programme? And I said, that the class felt like home. I meant it because I studied, Quantity Surveying for a really long time. And although I love buildings, I loved the course. This was more natural to me. This felt more like myself and the support I had received from the institution during the course of the programme, even when I got into the CNN Climate Storytelling, and the support I got from the institution like just in terms of presence, the library, the students union the... just everything. It was really welcoming. Shout out to Barry Finnegan, a wonderful, wonderful Course Director. I met the most amazing people in the course of my studies, both in the accommodation where I lived. The students accommodation on campus. That's a separate video. Check out the playlist ‘Ireland’ for details of that video. And also, my classmates were just from all over the world, really friendly, really cooperative. I really enjoyed my time here and I and I know it sounds very nerdy to say you love school, but I love learning and having the resources and the freedom to learn to this degree, even if you're paying for it, kind of makes it a lot better and more fulfilling. So thank you. Thank you, Griffith College. Thank you to my family. THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY!!!! because they dealt all the breakdowns, and for their unwavering support. For their prayers, to my friends, to just everybody. I've had a very pleasant experience in Ireland. And I made the most random people in the most random ways but it’s truly been a blessing. Like, I'm just thinking about it and I'm really happy. [Chants] I’m not gonna cry Because I’m a hard guy. [Laughs] But yeah, don't forget to like, comment, subscribe.
