✨HUMANS OF MBS✨⁣ ⁣ Hey there, I’m Sara Singh. I am from India, but a part of me belongs to Italy because I ‘made’ a family there. In truth, my story to Melbourne actually began there.⁣⁣ ⁣ This may sound odd but coming to Melbourne wasn’t always part of my plans. It was what my dad wanted for me and he was very persistent on it. I was actually travelling in Italy when I had my Australian visa approved. However, at the time, my heart was telling me not to come as I was not keen on the idea of living alone in a foreign country. Nonetheless, this trip allowed me to grow as an individual, where I slowly learn to realise the potential I could achieve if I choose to pursue a further education in Melbourne.⁣⁣ ⁣ I’m currently pursuing a Master of Management (Marketing). I used to be a Social Media Manager, but as my interests move away from client servicing, I have decided that coming to MBS would be an amazing opportunity for me to shift into a career in personal branding and strategic planning.⁣⁣ ⁣ It has only been less than a month since I have arrived in Melbourne. Despite feeling a little lost at times and overwhelmed by a new culture, Melbourne has slowly become a little like home to me. @ariannaoioli , my mentor, has been so friendly and supportive. She is always helping and looking out for me, and this was already happening even before we met. She can make you feel like a part of this new corner of the world can be yours too!⁣⁣ ⁣ I love sitting in the libraries because everything I need is here. I never feel the need to go home. The facilities are amazing, and I could meet and make many new friends here!⁣⁣ ⁣ Maybe this is just me being very excited and enthusiastic as this is my first semester here, but MBS seems to be able to get that out of me. I am looking forward to everything that lies ahead of me here at MBS!⁣⁣ ⁣ I’m slowing adjusting to this new place – a place that I would love to call home someday.⁣⁣ ⁣ - Sara Singh Tak⁣ Master of Management (Marketing)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

✨HUMANS OF MBS✨ Growing up in Kuala Lumpur, it has always been a dream of mine to live in another city and country. As I was selecting universities for my undergraduate degree, I did not know much about Melbourne or this university. The allure of studying at Australia’s most prestigious university and living in one of the world’s most livable cities was something I could not resist. It wasn’t long before I found myself dreaming of coming here. That was in 2014. Fast forward five years, I’ve completed my Bachelor of Commerce and here I am at MBS. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. I underestimated how difficult it is to start a life in a new city - an unfamiliar environment. I did not know anyone, and it was challenging for me to be living away from family and friends, on top of trying to navigate my way through a new culture. Looking back, I’m glad I pushed through. I’ve met many amazing people over the years and created many memories. Being here has made me the person I am today and I’m grateful for it. Similar to the city of Melbourne, one of the best parts of MBS is its people. It is inspiring to be a part of a cohort that is filled with diverse, talented and intelligent individuals and I feel fortunate for the opportunity to learn from them every day. There is always someone I can talk to and someone new to meet. Sometimes, when I step into The Spot, it feels like a community more than just a university. I won't lie; I’m excited to graduate as much as I’m anxious about the future. I’d love to stay in Melbourne after graduation at the end of the year but instead, I also find myself dreaming of returning to Kuala Lumpur. Currently, I’m still unsure of where my future lies but how lucky am I to be able to call two places home! – Christopher De Lima, Master of Management (Accounting)
