My name is Suada, I was born in Kosova and came to Australia for a better future with my mother, father and twin brother. Despite what happen in the past, I’m a very positive person who dreams of becoming a high school Design and ESL teacher as I plan to teach the next generation on social problems and ways to overcame them. Especially ones which involve the environment as I think that nothing is more beautiful than a piece of land that hasn’t been destroyed by something that society has created. 

I wouldn’t say I have a home, as home to me isn’t a place but where those I cherish most are and as long as they are with me then I’m home. 

And that about me.

The reason why I studied aboard in Australia is that this experience can not only broaden my horizon, but also assist me deeply understand the different culture of Australia. This is my second year in Unisa. I hope I can make friends and study more about the arts, history and culture of aboriginal in this course. 

My name is Chloe and I'm a second year Visual Arts student. I moved to Adelaide in 2015 from a small rural town in country SA. Basically everyone knows everyone and the land has been lived on by many generations of family farmers. My parents divorced when my sisters and I were quite young.  They separated to either side of the Goyders line approximately 60km apart, and as children we would go back and forth. 

'Goyders Line' divides the land of high rainfall, which is well suited for cropping and the land which is suitable for grazing, where there is hardly any rain and more desert like. 

My family has been in Australia for 5 generations and settled from England, Scotland and Ireland, I have never been overseas and hope to one day explore more of what the world has to offer. 

I am looking forward to what this class has to teach about Indigenous cultures. Furthermore, how the art and design that is created in different areas speaks for itself and how the environment and surrounds plays part in what is and was created. 

I  think my mum's side of the family is mainly British, but I'm unsure how much because I know nothing about my mum's dad only his first name and that he cheated on my grandmother so they split up when my mum was very young. Then my dad's side also has some British. I'm told my dad's mum is part Ukrainian, but growing up we never learnt anything about Ukrainian culture from her and I'm not sure why. Then my dad's parents also divorced and my granddad remarried to my grannie who is Scottish and I love her accent (the family has teased her a bunch of times about how she pronounces words and we all laugh about it including her). This was when my dad was a teenager.

Since both my parents had parents who divorced they didn't ever want to do that to us. They also both grew up in households where they couldn't always afford things and so they wanted to give me and my siblings a better life than theirs.

Anyway I hope my self introduction covered the basics. Thank you for reading it!
