Humans of Hilda's I grew up in Leicestershire and attended a local state school. I always enjoyed school and spent a lot of time reading and studying. I was extremely lucky to have parents that really valued education and found ways to encourage my education and expand my horizons even in times of significant financial difficulty. My secondary school pushed bright and academic students towards the sciences and I was advised by many members of staff against my A level choices (maths, French and history). Looking back now, I think this was well-intentioned but ill-informed advice based on a misconception

Hey I’m Roza (she/her) and I am from Dorset, studying Biology. I’m just your average girl boss woman in STEM who enjoys playing sport, especially football, along with arts and crafts among other things. I’ll be your VP this year - my role is to chair the weekly JCR meetings and basically assist with anything that needs doing. So if you don’t know who to ask then ask me and I’ll point you in the right direction!

Humans of Hilda's I come from an area in Dorset that can be quite close-minded, with pretty limited opportunities. There has been a sharp decline in the quality of local services in recent years with the complete overhaul of the schooling system directly affecting my year group’s transition to secondary school. Here, my mum and I have lived in a shared flat above a bank for my whole life. This quite odd way to grow up, has however, in a way, prepared me for university. Having to live with different people you’ve just met kind of feels normal to me

Humans of Hilda's Coming from a state school in North Yorkshire, through all of my adolescence it was football rather than academics which was my utmost and only priority. I spent my life barely maintaining average grades whilst spending almost all my time on the football pitch. Because of the social connotations of doing well in school, it was almost impossible to maintain my circle of friends whilst getting good grades. The Christmas before my GCSEs, I made the conscious decision to start working and this really introduced me to the world of academia, providing me with a huge amount
