Anwar Jawula

Democracy and Campaigns Officer

I want to become a politician. This job has actually helped me decide that I want to be more involved in politics... My mom means the most to me. She has been there since I was a kid... During my first panic attack, I didn't even know what was happening - I thought my heart was messed up... One piece of advice I always tell people is that when you fail, just pick yourself up and try again. Everyone fails.

Connor Sutherland

Welfare Officer

Going to university a couple of years after sixth form, I knew that I am not going to do this for a specific career path. I definitely had certain interests but I just didn’t want to go down one specific route... I organised the society’s first skate tour. We went around to different skateparks and it was really successful!... For a very long time, I think there is definitely a fear of what other people think about me.
