I have suffered from anxiety all
my life. It limited me so much.
That all changed upon attending the
University of Adelaide. I overcame so many
fears at that time that have helped me grow
as a person, professionally as well. I am
even able to speak in public as many of
my volunteer positions require, as well as
employment tasks where public speaking
plays a huge role. I made friends I am still
in contact with to this day, and always have
very fond memories of being so safe at the
University. Everyone was always so pleasant
and helpful, with lovely quiet spaces to relax
and study in quiet. It all led to me learning
to challenge myself, to grow more open,
and more importantly, to teach my children
not to be ruled by fear.

Priestley Habru,
Adelaide/Solomon Islands
I first came to study toward a
Master of Arts (Global Media) in 2018
and completed my studies in mid 2019
under an Australian Awards Scholarship.
I was a reporter in a newspaper I helped
established in the Solomon Islands and was
its founding Editor. I returned to my home
country and applied for some short-term
contract work in media and communication
and got two short term jobs at the same
time. Fortunately, one was once a week
engagement whilst the other was a threeday a week engagement. I was earning more
than I used to receive from my fortnightly
salary at my newspaper. I was invited to
become a local media trainer and
participated in public panel discussions
about the role of media on the local TV
and other engagement with the national
media organisations. I owed these to my
qualification attained at the University
of Adelaide.
