During my three years in Christ University, Student Welfare Office was an inseparable part of my life. The months of preparation, the backstage shenanigans and the satisfaction of a job well done are some of my fondest memories. This organization gave me opportunity to be at the helm of student leadership and representation, while building a family.
Down the line I would look back at those experiences for guidance, and fall back on the people for support.
