In this episode, Alam returns to the Enfield Centre to talk about his time at Leeds City College and how he's now studying a degree at Leeds Beckett University. He also gives advice to other ESOL students. 

Transcript: 

My name is Alam. I studied at the Enfield Centre for 3 years. I did my GCSE English and maths. It was a challenge for me, but finally, it's a dream come true. What I enjoyed most about studying at the Enfield Centre was the atmosphere, the people, everything,  and I found it easier to study because I received a lot of support from my teachers. There was also a balance between academic and social activities. This helped me to grow as a person and as a student.

Studying at the Enfield Centre has enabled me to develop my career as well, as it has given me unlimited support to succeed in my studies. Being inspired by the support and teaching that I have received, I am now studying at one of the best universities in the UK to complete my degree in civil engineering, to become a chartered engineer.

As a young child, I developed a keen interest in civil engineering, shadowing my father at work, while he was coordinating a development project in the village. So since that time, engineering has been my first thought and my principal goal is to be a civil engineer.

I would like to continue with my goal by studying a masters degree. After I get my degree, I would like to work in my field.

I just want to say one message to all students who are studying at the Enfield Centre - I would like to say just one message - work hard, chase your dreams, don't give up and believe me, you can do it and you will reach your goal.
