Wembley Stadium - UEFA EURO 2020 ⚽

The year is 2019, almost a year since I graduated from University. As usual, I was trying to find an exciting, fun and, relevant job - ideally a paid position. In the meantime, I was working with Legends Report - an inspirational online Magazine mainly based on inspirational legends. I had been with them for a while, and as it was an unpaid role, I kept seeking a paid one in the process.

That's when I came across a job that would boost my confidence even further, transform my perception of myself, the daily challenges and the slight fears which I've had about the employment industry or life overall. This job somehow gave me the reassurance I was searching for after graduation.

It expanded my network, and I got to meet pleasant individuals, beginning with the management team to the interviewer scouts - all was an absolute delight. They made me feel welcomed and involved. Initially, though, I was slightly hesitant in conducting the role, but after a few discussions with the management team and my own observations, I found it to be the best role I've ever had until date! It's something I ideally want to do in the future, so this was the perfect practice run to acknowledge my capabilities and people's take on me.

Moreover,  during the interview process, some applicants were taken back by my presence that towards the end of the interview, they were eager to ask me personal questions and get to know me further. They would ask me, 'How I am finding the role of an Interviewer Scout', my age and 'what I studied in University etc. I'm not going to lie - I was dead flattered to know I captivate people with my presence, and they find me quite fascinating. Such an honour!! It increased my self-confidence and reassured me that people accept me and my uniqueness - without making me feel inferior to anyone else. Their responses or reactions encouraged me to embrace myself even more as an individual and realize 'being me' can be fun and inspirational!


Anyhow, aside from being accepted as an individual, the other things that were great about being part of the UEFA EURO 2020 event as an interviewer were the management team's hospitality - constantly being stuffed with food and treating me like royalty! It felt awesome. Not forgetting about being privileged with VIP access to one of the biggest stadiums in London - our lounge and my desk being near the window with a clear view of the football pitch, it all was pretty cool and modern.

The final part of this memorable experience was the gathering aka 'Thank you' party - which I attended - based in BOXPARK Wembley. Again, a great occasion, getting the chance to meet the entire team and have a final proper meet & greet - a great way to end a splendid journey. I've learned a lot from this opportunity, met some awesome and inspirational people. It also taught me useful life lessons to motivate me even more in life. Above all, it was extremely local - a hop & skip kind of distance. 😉

The Struggles of a Graduate...

Image
Three years of hardcore concentration, tears, and constant hard work to obtain a BA degree and become a qualified journalist, a profession Diana longed for since acknowledging the value of education and realizing her potentials. She put a lot of effort into ensuring she succeeds and eventually graduates with a good grade. Diana is optimistic and has a positive approach towards nearly everything she does, including obtaining a degree and finding a job within her field of study. At the same time, she was still aware that accomplishing such a desire would not be that straightforward. Nonetheless, she never imagined it would be too draining and almost impossible either. It has become widely known that graduating with a degree does not guarantee a job relevant to the field of study. People like Diana feel the pressure of this even more as she not only has to fight her way through the employment industry, she has to deal with being 'unique' and persuade the hiring companies that s

The Misinterpreted Image of a Larger than Life Legend

Image
I've made discoveries & researched on a variety of matters, particularly on people for some time now. To be precise, it began in 2009 with Micheal Jackson.  I get intrigued or fascinated about someone or something then I start investigating or researching in great depth. Anyhow, no one has up until now fascinated or surprised me more than a well-known and highly admired rapper aka actor.  Unfortunately, he is no longer with us, yet he is still very much relevant and current even to this day! Before now, I would often hear his name and a bit about him. I guess the basic stuff, him being a well-established rapper, dearly loved, his iconic styles and conspiracy theories on him 'faking' his death (something that has spun about for ages). So as mentioned I only knew, the basics about this legend - nothing more, nothing less. However, recently, I decided to know more about this highly controversial yet gifted human being. I've always sensed there was something m

How Street Art has Affected an Area

Image
For the sake of creativity and for people to express themselves, the public or government has permitted graffiti aka street art to take place openly and legally under the long tunnel of Leake Street, located in Waterloo. To allow graffiti or art lovers to be creative as well as make the tunnel a colourful place to pass by. It is a gift for those who would usually graffiti in unauthorised areas and get in trouble for it as the law considers it vandalism and forbids the public to do graffiti wherever they please. Thus, these types of places would be quite popular and a privilege to go to. Lilli Levi - who works near the area says: "...this authorized feature tunnel around certain areas of east London is particularly popular.” However, Laura Fitzpatrick, a tourist from Canada, believes that there should be a punishment in the form of a penalty when an individual graffiti something harsh. Even though she thinks having an area to do street art graffiti is a great concept. Laur

Covid 19: A Period of Uncertainty & Isolation - March 2020 - July 2020

Image
It's one thing hearing about critical times and another having to live it. We have all heard stories about periods or countries having experienced numerous discomfort or danger. Though Diana never thought in her wildest dreams, it would become her reality too - especially in an advanced country such as the UK, London. Freedom and free will, something we value dearly and don't usually give much thought to as it is automatically given what with being in advanced countries, had become quite limited due to a hazardous virus called COVID 19. A virus that has possibly originated from China and caused too much disturbance around the globe. Towards the end of March 2020 was when Diana's lifestyle began to change drastically due to covid restrictions - the daily activities she would do and the freedom she had was no longer accessible.  Due to the new rules put in place by the government and family concerns, Diana had to stay indoors more than usual - not go out to the gym, meet up w

Induction Week - 2015

Image
Monday 5th October 2015 -  the start of my induction week at University, the beginning of my life as a UAL student. I was excited, very excited. However, like any other student, I was naturally a tiny bit nervous too as it was a new system and environment but more significantly because of how people will react to me or what will they think of me as I tend to stand out as a unique individual. I wonder if they were anxious about approaching me or just unsure of how to be around someone like me. Anyhow, I shall take a deep breath, stay strong and prepare myself for anything that is to come. On a positive note, a brand new journey awaits with luxurious cars, fine assistance and many more. Haha...:D What do you want to do ? New mail Copy What do you want to do ? New mail Copy
