Congratulations on your University Offers Aria K

Congratulations to Aria K in Year 13, who has received offers from Purdue University Northwest, College of Wooster and Florida International University in North America as well as Monash University, Swinburne University and Macquarie University in Australia, and many more offers received, to study Education.

Some Q&A’s with Aria:

What did you study at A-Level and IGCSE?

In IGCSE, I studied the compulsory subjects plus 3 additional electives. I chose to study Geography, Design and Technology, and History. At A level, I rerouted my subjects and chose subjects that were more suited to my career choice. I chose Geography, Mathematics, and Psychology.

What University offers have you received?

I currently have offers from different universities across the globe. All are for the Bachelor of Education (primary) program except Monash where I was offered both a Bachelor of Education in Primary education and a Bachelor of Education in Early childhood Education. Monash University is also where I will be attending for my further education.

What is your proudest moment at Bangkok Prep?

I have several proudest months from my time here at Bangkok Prep. It ranges from sports achievement to academic certificates, to taking on leadership roles, participating in school plays, community service, and music. Everything that I have accomplished and made an impact on at Bangkok Prep has summarised the amazing time I had here since I joined in 2013. Leaving Prep exactly 10 years later as a Bangkok Prep Alumni is still ever so shocking to hear and will cherish every moment I have left here. I am proud of the milestones I have reached, forever grateful for the friends I made who supported me through thick and thin. And finally, my teachers. I couldn’t be more proud of myself to be able to expand my opportunities and abilities without the help of my teachers who are the main pillars of my education.

What are your hopes for their next steps and future?

As an aspiring educator, the realm of impossibility interplaying into the possibility of things I relish, brings me boundless excitement and determination to continue my battle in the real world when teaching and letting my creativity bleed with ambition. The greatest impacts can, in my opinion, be achieved in elementary education and I believe I am naturally gifted with well-rounded skills to take on the role!
