Ochuko joined IntoUniversity Walworth in 2012. With support from his mentor and participation in IntoUniversity’s programmes, Ochuko gained the guidance and confidence to shape his future. Today, he inspires his own son to aim higher.
“When my parents moved to this country and saw the quality of life that was on offer, they knew that education would be one of the routes through which we could succeed. My dad always emphasised trying to do better than he did. I remember the first time I walked into an IntoUniversity centre. Some students were reading, some were doing homework, and I’d come in to meet my mentor for the first time. Having someone in a local centre in my local area, telling me that the world really was my oyster made a world of difference. If I hadn’t come to the IntoUniversity centre, or applied to their corporate insight programme, or continued paying attention in class, or spent time meeting my mentor, if I hadn’t done any of those things, my trajectory would have been completely different. I now have a son, and I have the opportunity to say to my son ‘do better than I did’.”
