I’m sitting at my laptop surrounded by a pile of papers… on my left, the first draft of my formative assignment.

Coming into my fourth module of Financial Management was unlike any course I have previously undertaken academically. I am convinced that my fellow cohort strongly identified with this perspective.

Upon reflection, May was a very busy month in the most satisfactory way. We have formed strong professional and personal friendships over the course of the last 10 months, supporting each other during modules and remotely.

As published in Kellogg College News Michaelmas 2016 I work from home in south-west London. Commuting on crowded Tube trains every day was sapping. Everything in my office has a purpose or means something to me, from the photographs of my parents and my children, to the books, journals and pictures.

This afternoon I was passing my time with a close friend and we reflected upon some of our personal achievements to date. As I sipped my coffee, a thousand thoughts were simultaneously running through my mind. I was thinking about my career, my family, my life experiences and what it takes to accomplish an aspiration.

Taking my first step onto High Street, the reality of my arrival at Oxford finally began to sink in.
