Hello, My name is Chanel Rattray. In May 2020 I applied for college at the Northern Caribbean University but of course as you all know the COVID 19 pandemic got worst around May/June and with that came lockdowns and everything was pushed back or delayed and so did my plans to get a higher education. So when I applied everything took more time than it would regularly but I finally got accepted in late August 2020, to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Psychology Program which I later changed to the Bachelor of Arts in English: Emphasis in Writing.

Growing up I’ve only ever been passionate about two things, writing, and how the mind works. Psychology was the first choice, but I was advised by my family members that English would be a safer option, in terms of opportunities and earning potential. The thing is I was planning on applying on for scholarships after I got accepted because here you need proof that you’ve been accepted into a university to qualify for scholarships but late August 2020 was too late deadlines were closed. I was also planning to work and study on Campus to help with the tuition but because of the pandemic, there aren’t any jobs available at school.
