At the age of 18, Tehana has Represented Sri Lanka for Table Tennis - Is an undergraduate at Imperial Kandy - Ready to face her A/L's in 2020A story from Mahamaya College Kandy
I’m Ochini Tehana Dissanayake. I’m currently going through my Advanced level in Commerce stream at Mahamaya Girls’ College, Kandy. I’m also a 2nd YEAR student of the BA (Hons) International Business & Finance Degree offered at Imperial College of business studies in association with the University of the West of Scotland which is ranked in the top 3% of universities in the entire world.
Apart from preparing for my final and biggest exam in my school years, which is my A/L exam in 2020, and my undergraduate studies at Imperial Kandy simultaneously; my passion, dedication, and commitment towards my sport, table tennis has been a rewarding journey for me.
I have represented my school, the Central province of Sri Lanka, and Sri Lanka, for table tennis with many victories under my belt which brings glory to my college Mahamaya Girls College, Imperial Kandy, and Sri Lanka as a whole.
Having such an active & busy life at school, you must be wondering how I got to know about Imperial College Kandy. After I completed my O/L examination I wanted to pursue a qualification that also falls in line with my A/L studies. I visited many institutes and got an understanding of the available qualifications. And I understood, out of all the institutes that I visited the most productive & efficient degree program was at Imperial College of Business Studies Kandy Branch.
Reasons 1 The degree at Imperial Kandy supports the A/L commerce syllabus. 2 Through the Degree at Imperial College of Business Studies, I am eligible to complete 11 qualifications including CIMA & ACCA which are the world's largest professional qualifications in the world. 3 By the time I complete my A/L, I am almost done with an academic qualification (DEGREE) and Professional qualification (CIMA) and I will be ready to face the corporate world.
I know what you are thinking right now. How did I take part in international tournaments and still managed to study for my A/L while undergoing a Degree at Imperial Kandy? To be honest, it wasn't easy. Well, nothing in life is going to come easy if you think of it, but that is exactly what is going to make you a stronger person. Like I mentioned above, the content in the degree covers a lot of knowledge in the A/L syllabus and it prepares me to sit for my A/L exams. I believe that was a smart move that I made. But it was a great challenge for me to take up national practices and tournaments and balance my studies which Imperial Kandy became a pillar of strength to me. I would like to thank the entire team at Imperial College, Kandy for supporting me in many ways. When I had to participate in national tournaments, extracurricular activities in school & for my A/L classes, it would be impossible for me to attend lectures. But in every instance, the lecturers and the staff at Imperial College, Kandy were pleased and kind enough to give me the notes which I have missed & the lecturers were very understanding to take time to teach me important areas and get me back to the pace of the other students in class and cleared all the subject contents which I had doubts. I shall indeed be thankful for the generosity and the cooperation which was given by the Imperial Family to me. Let me repeat this because it is important; since the same subject contents are learned profoundly in this degree program, I have found my Advanced level period less stressful. After considering the privileges and advantages given to me by the Imperial College of Business Studies, I would definitely recommend this program for anyone who intends to pursue higher education after O/L or after A/L.
A message from Tehana to you !!!!!!
Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. No matter how old you are now, you are never too young or too old for success or to go after what you want. Nadia Comăneci was a gymnast from Romania that scored a perfect 10.0 and won three gold medals at the Olympics at age 14. Mozart was already competent with keyboards and violins and started to compose from the age of 5. Colonel Harland Sanders was 61 when he started the KFC Franchise which proves the fact that it is up to you to start Writing your story now - or you will have to be apart of someone else's story.
