This past month I have completed my final exams for the four modules I undertook with the University of Exeter. My favorite module was a Sociology module on violence. This module allowed students to dissect the definition of violence and what it entails. I was able to develop my public speaking skills through the presentation due in this module. Furthermore, I took the modules 'Introduction to Public Policy and Health' and 'Illness and Bodies in Contemporary Society', both of which have helped me to gain many new perspectives on how policy affects into our everyday lives and health outcomes. Finally, the module 'Environments in Public' enlightened me on environmental issues in the context of the media and society. The biggest milestone I have achieved since coming to the University of Exeter was improving my writing and critical thinking skills. Back in the United States my university relied heavily on several 1-2-page essays and multiple-choice exams to assess students’ progress in their modules. Hence, in the beginning of term I was overwhelmed by the impact that 8 to10-page essays have on final grades in UK universities. However the funding I received from my scholarship has motivated me to do my best work in my modules in order to make the most of the money you have so kindly donated. Seven essays later, I can confidently say that there has been an exponential growth in the quality of my writing and the time it takes me to write superior essays. Additionally, I have developed my researching skills and am now proficient in finding and incorporating high-quality academic studies and statistics to my reports. I am pleased to share with you that I have received an 88% on one of my essays for the Environments in Public module. On a more personal note, I have joined multiple societies on campus including the Exeter Student Action for Refugees (STAR) society and the Hide and Seek Society. Since then, I have formed life-long friendships with several students at the University of Exeter. These connections would not have been possible without you, as I would not have been able to attend without your generous financial assistance. I am now back in the United States and will be graduating from University of South Florida this Spring 2022 with my undergraduate degree in Public Health. I already miss being in the UK, however, this past Autumn was not the last of my time there. The University of Exeter has made such a profound impression on me that I plan to return back this Autumn 2022 for my postgraduate degree in Public Health. In the meantime, I am taking my final class online and saving by working two jobs so that I can be fiscally prepared for my future endeavors at University of Exeter. Thank you again for all of your support these past few months. I look forward to returning to the University of Exeter this Autumn and continuing my academic career. Sincerely, Jo Belliveau
