“This unforgettable experience that definitely marked the year 2015 for me began on a school day in January, a day that wasn’t special in any way, until someone told me that two ambassadors of a UK University were holding a speech in my high school. At that time, I would have gone to any meeting of this kind, because I hadn’t chosen any particular university to attend. But the way Oana and Lal presented the University of Bedfordshire and the various opportunities it offered made me decide right away. And in the period of time from that meeting until September, everything I did was done towards only one direction: England. I passed both the Baccalaureate and the Cambridge Advanced Exam and I made everyone very proud of me on the day when I left Romania. Now I hope that the road I have chosen to be the best for me and my career, and I am confident that this experience will bring me numerous benefits. I will definitely recommend Partnerships for Change to everyone who wants to get the best out of his/her career, mainly because of both Lal and Oana’s warm and positive attitude, and last but not least, because the support they provide is free.”
