“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs” ~ anonymous If there is one place I learnt this, it’s at KCDS. My journey at KCDS has been educative and insightful, making it a memorable foundation in my professional life. It has been the most unique experience being taught by my respected professors, given multiple opportunities to pursue what I am passionate about and forming close friendships with like-minded people. I have enjoyed the experience of being groomed at an institution like this and I am positive that I would not have had the same experience elsewhere. What makes KCDS special is that they encourage us to learn outside of the classroom as well. With engaging internship opportunities and practical assignments, I feel more confident to go out and actively chase my ambitions and goals. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at KCDS who have been so generous and kind in leading me through this challenging, yet important phase of my life.
