A dead rat bounce
"The food was terrible but the other students were amazing, and the things I learned..." says Amina Ahmed of her experience during Serious Fun @ Westminster. "Like in biology when we dissected a rat – that's been the highlight of my entire life. Going to a private school to do something you’re interested in, you don't often get chances like that – it's a lifetime opportunity."
"It really gave me a boost, something to aspire too. Although I already had a good idea of what I wanted to do, it was just an idea. Westminster made it all so real that medicine is a very competitive field. But it's competitive everywhere, so Cambridge is my first choice now. And it's just two years away so I'm thinking 'get your act together', putting more time into my work and now my grades have improved. I know I'm going to have to memorise absolutely everything – and then just go into the exams, do my best and hope my results get me there."
Amina Ahmed is studying for her A levels at Westminster Academy and attended Serious Fun @ Westminster School in 2009.
