“<br />

I did not have<br />

access to<br />

education which<br />

is a human right<br />

and I want to<br />

work on raising<br />

awareness<br />

and positively<br />

impacting others<br />

who do not<br />

have access<br />

globally.<br />

“<br />

Meet Annabelle Saba<br />

A-Level student & aspiring human rights<br />

lawyer now studying at Queen Mary’s<br />

University of London<br />

Winner of the Outstanding Individual Award at Adult<br />

Learners’ Week.<br />

On winning the Outstanding Individual Award, Annabelle<br />

said: “I have always had an interest in human rights due<br />

to a chaotic childhood where I was denied access to<br />

education from the ages of 9 – 18. The <strong>college</strong> offered<br />

me the chance to take my A-Levels in Government &<br />

Politics and History and ultimately led me to receive an<br />

unconditional offer from a Russell group university. Being<br />

an aspiring human rights lawyer I have been proactive in<br />

getting more knowledge into the values of education and<br />

how I can make a difference which lead me to winning the<br />

Outstanding Individual Award at Adults Learners’ Week.<br />

Winning the award felt great and now I have been educated<br />

I feel I can climb up an invisible ladder. I did not have<br />

access to education which is a human right and I want<br />

to work on raising awareness and positively impacting<br />

others who do not have access globally. Highlighting this<br />

to those who need it most is something I feel passionately<br />

about. You can come from nothing but you can achieve<br />

everything.”<br />
