Mohamed Omar
Completed: A Level"After leaving Bosworth, I went on and did my Bachelors Degree in Marketing and went on to successfully run my own company with locations in various countries (Djibouti, Somalia, Ethiopia, U.A.E, China and currently in Toronto "Canada"). I enjoyed my time at Bosworth and the multicultural environment that existed has led me to become successful as I had travelled around the globe (47 countries) and met people of all races, religions, languages, ethnic backgrounds etc.... It's that type of culture that I had kept from my experience at Bosworth. I wish all the current, past and future students all the success in the world and more importantly, my advice is "keep a positive attitude in this life no matter what the circumstance are and I guarantee that you will succeed in life"

Completed: A Level"Today is my last day as a Student at Bosworth. It took me quite a long time to realize how much I love it and how much I miss it like I do at this moment. I will keep in mind every corner, every room, every door of the school. Thanks to all the staff. You have taken a very good care of me. I will keep in my mind all your smiles as they always lighted up my days at school. THANK YOU! To all my close friends, you chatted with me, you gave advice, you studied and taught me you supported me when I was sad. Living by myself in a foreign country would have been much harder to me if it had not been for your appearance. Particularly to my lovely roommate, days with you are the best memories of the last 18 months."
Wilson Kywa, Myanmar

His first two terms were tough for him and at the time we were concerned about his progression to University but how wrong we were!Wilson has just completed two years at St Andrews studying International Business and hopes to transfer to the USA to complete his final year. He recently returned to Bosworth to say 'thanks' to the staff and to see us before he transfers to the USA. Of course we wish him every success and it was so nice to see him transformed into a confident and positive young man. Well Done & good luck in the States!

Completed: A Level"I enjoyed studying at Bosworth a lot: the teachers and staff are very caring and friendly.

I do believe if I didn't study there, I might not have the results I have today. I really would love to take this great opportunity to thank all the teachers who taught and supported me."
