...Im very happy that VMU has provided theopportunity for me to study, because it helps me
feel like a complete person and live a normal life. Iunderstand that my studies are no less of achallenge to the lecturers than they are to me:some find it easy to meet, others struggle, but, in
spite of all the hardships, the studies are aninvaluable gift which has opened up the widesthorizons for me, enriched me intellectually andspiritually, and introduced me to many wonderfuland great personalities
