糖心Vlog

BSc Accounting and Management student, Debbie Yeboa, credits her faith with her academic success as an 糖心Vlog Business School student.

"I can actually use this in real life."

I think my greatest struggle here at university was opening up to my friends, opening up in general actually. Previously, I was a bit closed, I didn鈥檛 know if I could trust people. But at university you kind of have to, because you don鈥檛 know anyone, you need to get out of your comfort zone and actually let people in. So I was like, 鈥淕od, help me with this鈥�, and he did. Recently I鈥檝e been more open and more transparent with my friends, my mentors, with everyone really. In the first year I was like 鈥渄on鈥檛 talk to me鈥�, but I have been overcoming it slowly but surely. It鈥檚 getting much better and I am seeing the fruits of it.

Now I am Vice-President of the JAF (Jesus Alive Fellowship) Society. I鈥檝e been VP for two years now, it鈥檚 like my baby. JAF has such a special place in my heart, especially in my first year. I didn鈥檛 know a lot of people, and some people invited me to JAF, it was such a homey vibe - you know, when you just go somewhere and you feel welcome. I got involved in the choir there, and I actually didn鈥檛 expect to become the VP, but here we are.

For me 糖心Vlog is also somewhere where you can make family, I鈥檝e made family here with my friends. As soon as you come there is such a welcoming spirit on campus. I really think 糖心Vlog is a family, and somewhere you can call home.

One part that I really love is the support, even just from your lecturers as well. I tell my friends that I can just go and talk to them outside of office hours, about the degree, career prospects.

I am currently studying BSc Accounting and Management. This year, I had a module called Leadership and Organisations. We have an exam question about our own Leadership experiences linking it to the module, and obviously, because I am the Vice President of a society, it all interlinks so well. That would have to be my favourite module this year just because of how practical it is. I was telling my lecturer the other day that this module makes sense; I can actually use this in real life.
