Returning for Cambodia’s Development – Phe Somealea

My Australia Awards Scholarship has given me a great opportunity to further my education while also immersing myself in Australia’s dynamic multicultural society. This has broadened my perspective on the world and enabled me to forge close friendships and professional relationships.

 

I really appreciate how Australia approaches education and living, especially the emphasis on striking a balance between work, play, and study. It’s particularly rewarding to engage with the locals and explore the beautiful natural landscapes. This taught me to effectively manage my stress and have fun while juggling my academic obligations.

 

The university’s dedication to our welfare and Australia’s strong academic support system have been immensely reassuring. The university team’s frequent check-ins, asking how we are doing and offering support, have been very comforting. I’ll dearly miss Australia’s breathtaking natural beauty, accessible public transit system, and secure, pedestrian-friendly walkways.

 

I’m eager to bring the skills and knowledge I’ve gained to my workplace. I look forward to reuniting with my family, friends, and coworkers. I hope to encourage more people to apply for Australia Awards Scholarships.
