"This is my second year of studying English and History. I am really enjoying what I have chosen this year. I am originally from Jamaica and I have always had an interest in both these subjects. Literature was my favourite subject at school, while History was in a lot of ways harder for me to take in but fascinating anyway. Historical studies in Jamaica tend to involve mostly the study of slavery and the slave trade. I wanted to learn something different, so this year I chose the Crusades, literature of the middle ages and I am really enjoying my studies. I like looking at how the world appeared during that period and people’s perceptions of the events taking place. I did my access course at Morley College and that is where I learnt about Goldsmiths. One of my tutors there recommended that I investigate the university; he was previously employed in the and could not recommend it more. While it is in no way easy I feel like I am on the right track and that I made the best decision when I made my choice."
