" The Millennium Fellowship is very prestigious.
People are more inclined to listen to somebody
who has academic or extracurricular
achievements such as this. The fellowship will
afford me the opportunity for personal and
professional growth through exposure to others
equally and more determined to drve social
justice in their respective areas. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing your fellow youth
lead. It validates dreams and pushes me to work
harder knowing that it is possible. Others have
done it.
The very nature of the questions demonstrates
how the fellowship will compel me to continuosly
question and reflect on the project. I believe the
opportunity will challenge, hone and sharpen my
skills, knowledge and attitudes on leadership,
planning and working with people to achieve
specific goals.
As an aspiring professional, these cannot be
understated. The fellowship will be foundational
for my career on environmental and social
justice. I hope to be a high level policy and law
negotiator at the international level on behalf of
my country one day. That would need a strong
background of interrogating and working on
these issues to comprehend them thoroughly
inorder to address them with efficiency and effectiveness. "
