00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.565
I just walked through the
doorway, and it was just…

2
00:00:02.565 --> 00:00:04.521
it was almost like a portal.

3
00:00:04.521 --> 00:00:07.561
It was like a new world of
so many colours.

4
00:00:07.561 --> 00:00:10.000
Hi, I'm Leo. I'm currently
studying aerospace

5
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.441
engineering at UNSW, and I
graduated in 2024.

6
00:00:14.441 --> 00:00:15.800
Why Project in particular?

7
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.673
I remember coming through
the doors, and I wasn't a

8
00:00:18.673 --> 00:00:20.760
student yet. I was just
having a look around at

9
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:21.920
different places.

10
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.760
She gave me a tour to the
Grasslands study area.

11
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.441
I thought this could definitely
be a place where I can lock in.

12
00:00:29.441 --> 00:00:33.070
I realised, though, sometime
into my Project journey, it

13
00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:35.720
was really the people around
you, those academically

14
00:00:35.720 --> 00:00:39.240
focused and also really
social people that sort of

15
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.680
kept you going, who sort of
raised your curiosity, and

16
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:44.161
especially the tutors.

17
00:00:44.161 --> 00:00:47.321
Them being so sociable and
down to earth with you

18
00:00:47.321 --> 00:00:50.857
really motivated you to
actually ask them questions,

19
00:00:50.857 --> 00:00:52.960
rather than sort of shying
away at the back of the

20
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.561
classroom and things like that.

21
00:00:54.561 --> 00:00:58.252
Well, in the end, I got 98.7,
which I was really happy about.

22
00:00:58.252 --> 00:01:00.201
I was really shocked opening
that up on the December

23
00:01:00.201 --> 00:01:03.146
morning. Whilst I came here
for Physics in the start, it

24
00:01:03.146 --> 00:01:06.481
wasn't just Physics that
Project pushed me to achieve.

25
00:01:06.481 --> 00:01:08.800
There are a lot of
like-minded people who we

26
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:12.503
really pushed each other to
sort of achieve the same goal

27
00:01:12.503 --> 00:01:14.920
in our own personal bests,
if that makes sense.
