We're very pleased to introduce a second Bellerbys graduate blogger for the 2011-12 academic year - Abdulbasit Abdulrahim from Abuja, Nigeria.
Abdul is 18 and studied A Levels at Bellerbys College Brighton, achieving grades of A*AAA, which secured his place to read Economics at London School of Economics, no less.
His Maths teacher at Bellerbys College, Dr Fisher, had this to say of Abdul: "Abdulbasit won the prize as the Best Student in Economics this year and has shown himself to be an enthusiastic and dedicated student who is always cheerful. He worked very effectively as a Student Council member and deserves his success. He should do very well at the LSE and I wish him all the best in his future studies. He is an Economist in the making!"
And Abdul himself says that he wouldn't be where he is today without the college: "Bellerbys has helped to strengthen my academic background and motivates me to push beyond my limits, both in and out of class.
I wouldn't be where I am today without Bellerbys. To put it simply I have been set on a journey and I know that I am well prepared to face any challenges ahead and I cannot thank the school enough for that."
Outside of the classroom, Abdul enjoys playing pool, rowing, watching movies and hanging out with his friends.
Good luck in your first year at LSE, Abdul. We look forward to hearing all about it.
