The most challenging part of my VCE studies was transitioning in and out of lockdown towards the exams. Fortunately, I felt supported by my family, teachers and friends who helped me successfully complete VCE. My advice to all future international students is although the road may be long and filled with obstacles, it’s up to you to open up and find a way to get through.
