Melissa Wragg

My name is Mellisa and I’m from Kenya which is in East Africa. I was born and grew up in the capital city, Nairobi.

After I completed my high school education, I wanted to study Computer Science and I wanted to do it abroad. I chose to  study in New Zealand at the University of Waikato because  it is world renowned for its excellence in Computer Science and  its related studies. Before I could begin my degree course, I did my Foundation Studies at the Waikato Pathways College. My experiences there were unforgettable. I met a lot of people from different parts of the world such as Arabia, China, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia.

I was able to improve my writing skills and get a better idea of what would be expected of me at the University level. The work, though sometimes rigorous, was enjoyable. Now, after the Foundation Studies, I feel I‘m ready to tackle University life with both the social and academic skills that I have adopted.

I would advise anyone doing Foundation Studies to take it as a stepping stone to higher learning and to enjoy every minute of it because it is worth the ride.
