The courage to change direction! That’s exactly what Viktoria demonstrated when she realised that teacher training wasn’t the right path for her in the long run. At the University of Würzburg, she had been studying to become a secondary school teacher specialising in English and French. However, the practical insights she gained into a wide range of fields during her time at university led her to decide against embarking on her teaching placement.
