The Elated Young Woman said:
‘’Relevance has always been a measure of one’s value and to add value to one’s life, one must pursue interest and goals with vigour. ’My name is Franka Anyama Undie, a Cross River State indigene.
‘’I grew up in a family where we have to compete for everything, compete for who was the best in academics, House chores and board games. ’I developed a passion for technology, business, management, arithmetic and record computation which led me to studying Accountancy as my first degree.
‘’During my degree programme, I was very active in many facets of university life. I completed a number of voluntary internship on holidays, working for small business owners. This gave me an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
‘’I also conducted a number of personal community development projects like organizing free ICT training, giving motivational talks in colleges, organizing health campaigns and bringing together a team to ensure environmental sanitation is properly carried out in my community.
‘’Interestingly, none of these community development services hindered my educational pursuit as I bagged a second class upper upon graduation. I believe that anything one dreams of, there is just a helper away, we just need the right scenario and connection, and anything can be achieved.
‘’With determination and the right people to encourage you and guide you, one can achieve a great amount of success that will bring a positive change to the society.
‘’I continually aspire growth and development which is why I applied and got admissions into eleven different schools for the 2019/2020 academic session. I wanted to make sure I am the best. I wanted to prove to myself that I was worthy enough and anyone who wants to help me actualise my life’s goal will also see in me the same potentials I see in myself determination and excellence.
‘’Out of all the courses I feel so passionate about the Masters of Science Information Technology with Business and Management offered at University of Sussex, maybe because of what it encompasses and how it accurately fits into my career goals and ambitions.
‘’My desire to study abroad stems from a dearth of equivalent professional programmes offered in Nigeria. ‘’The future of technology, business, appropriate data management and financial reports in Nigeria will demand a workforce with a specialized skill set.
‘’With the sponsorship which I seek, I will be able to actualise my academic/career goal and dream of acquiring the requisite academic training which would position me to meet this emerging career/workplace demand and also pioneer the architecture, management and protection of business and companies in Nigeria.”
