13.01.2022 The first time that Hadeel used a computer was at university. Now 25-years-old, Hadeel is in her third-year of a Bachelor of Nursing degree at Western Sydney University and has become not only tech-confident, but also more than qualified in many life-saving procedures. Fleeing Iraq for Australia following religious prosecution, Hadeel studied English at Bankstown Senior College and enrolled in a Foundation Course in Health Science and Nursing through @Western Sydney Universit...y The College When I started the course, it was a challenge and I cried on my way home because I felt lost. But, with support from The College, my marks began to improve! And it was at that time that I realised language is not a barrier to being successful. Hadeel went on to receive an award for academic merit from The College achieving a GPA of 9. She was invited to give the student address at her graduation ceremony. A turning point was 2017, and it was a big move for me towards a good future. Its always about taking the first step in learning, it makes the other steps easier to take.
